Dude, you're so good! I just bought a Tradfri bulb, and it said to hold a steering device to it. Instead, I power cycled it 6 times, and it instantly paired!

Followed your instructions and managed to connect 3 tradfri devices 👍🏼 thanks

Your Video helped me a lot. Thanks!

Life saver thanks mate!

I had considered buying into the IKEA system for general lighting in my bedroom, but didn't because they didn't offer a remote control that would let me control multiple lights on one remote like with the existing 433MHz RF system and BroadLink RM setup I have.

Thanks for the life of me couldnt see that little reset button on the smart plug. I also got a 4 pack of the SONOFF S40 Lites at the same time and I gotta say: I much prefer the SONOFF ones. They're smaller, more likely to fit on a power strip or a cramped outlet, go into pairing mode right away so you don't even have to set it to pair, the pairing button is actually big and press-able by your finger if you need, and paired immediately. The Ikea ones, while not required, did have a firmware update available when they showed up where as the SONOFF ones were fully up-to-date though that's a small gripe.

Thanks for the clear video. I tried doing the same as you, but then in Zigbee Home Automation (ZHA). The traffic wireless dimmer does seem to pair to the intrad CC2531, but when pressing the button doesn’t trigger any zha_events. So no succes yet. I might give deconz or Zigbee2mqtt a try and will see how that unfolds.

I was rather bummed as well to discover that all of the IKEA lights are Edison screw. Bayonet is the standard default socket in Australia as well. I’ve grabbed a pack of bayonet to Edison adapters from Amazon for the time being just so I can play. I love the IKEA controllers and they are very well priced.

Thanks a lot

Thanks for the reply, I see that Ikea has now moved away from Tradfri to Dirigera so is it worth updating or just staying with Tradfri?

How can I add the small toggle on/off button from IKEA to dim graduation using Home Assistant, Sonoff Zigbee and MQTT.

Hello Simon, thanx for the vid. I have a rapsberry pi with home assistant and a zigbee usb dongle. Is there a easy way to connect the installed lights in my house to them… they are now all installed with the ikea app but what if they were not? Do i have to unscrew them all and have them near my zigbee dongle firts?

To get the ikea remotes into pairing mode, i had to press that pairing button 3-4 times quickly, then the red led would flash (the light is behind the front cover thus it is dim). Holding for 10 seconds did nothing...

The left and right buttons cycle trough the colours/temperature of the light

Nice... Now since I actually have a HUE hub for my HUE Lights, I actually pared my IKEA units to Hue and they show up there and from there I can see them in Home Assistant. I did buy one of the IKEA Hubs so I could update the firmware on the lights as the older firmware would not work with Hue. But once upgraded, they added with no issues to HUE. I keep the IKEA Hub around should I need to do the same again with new devices.

Can I also control and add a ikea lamp with the zigbee app without the ikea contol unit?

Thanks for very informative video. I paired Remote successfully. but Why this IKEA Remote draining battery very fast !

Hi

Hello, this integration will work with the xiaomi multi-mode smart gateway 3?

Hi, I just want to make sure: I don’t need the gateway to set them up right? (I’ve got a „zigbee antenna“)
