You can do OTA to IKEA, not possible for Philips and idk for Osram.

Has anyone managed to use this inside a docker container? Also, using only the web interface, how can we add xiaomi sensors?
@abmantis when you say this what do you mean by that ? I run Home assistant in a docker containter so the customer_module i developed runs in that. To add sensors you need to run deConz software, open network (done in deConz) and depending on the sensor turn it or in some cases do a reset of the sensor. What kind of sensor are we talking about also what do you have ConBee or RaspBee ?
I want to run deconz software inside a container.
Yeah, I can see the sensor when using the deCONZ app, but not through the web interface.
@abmantis i am not sure you can run it since it requires desktop but ask on the github project.
regarding the sensor not showing in the web interface i presume you mean the REST API. Check Erik’s comment here for example https://github.com/dresden-elektronik/deconz-rest-plugin/issues/204#issuecomment-330595020 and the same goes many places if you look thru the issues on the github project.

I’ve quickly wrote a simple GUI for the Rest API to get some config infos, permit join, rename and delete sensors. You can find it on my github.
@abmantis - I’ve managed to include Xiaomi Sensors by permit join, then click on the small button on the sensor for about 3 seconds - as soon as the led lights up stop clicking the button. Then they should be joined.

I’ve tried that, but they don’t show on the REST plugin webpage. They do appear on the Deconz app, but not on the web.
I’ll try your GUI! Thanks for sharing 
My sensors also don’t show up on the deconz webapp - that’s why I wrote this simple tool. I think the official webapp is only for their lightning products.

Ohhhhh ok! They do show on your GUI!
I think they should show on the webapp because I’ve read somewhere that they do…
@abmantis why do you want to get your devices in deConz Web UI ? I have never used it, i don’t see the purpose for it when you have Home Assistant.
Since I want to run deconz headless, I needed a way to add devices, and though that the web ui was the only way. With @Romanski GUI I can get around that. I could also do the REST requests myself.
So yeah, I don’t need the web ui.
Good that’s what i was expecting 
By the way, is there any way to pair a device with two gateways? For example, having a sensor paired with the Xiaomi gateway and the Raspbee simultaneously.
No thats not possible.
You could pair it with the Xiaomi Gateway and sniff the packets using another receiver, somehow this would be some kind of read only. Don’t know what you want to accomplish anyway.
I would like to keep some sensors connected to the Xiaomi gateway, but also directly to Deconz. The Xiaomi system would serve as a backup if HA fails, for example. But I can live without that lol
Been following this thread with eagerness. Loving the work done so far. I’m running deconz on a headless server too, so don’t use the deconz GUI but the REST plugin. However, is it just me - I cannot get it to recognize or connect the Tradfri light bulb. It may be that my bulb is on the old firmware, I don’t actually have the IKEA gateway to check. I can connect my dimmer to deconz fine but I’m either misunderstanding or not able to connect the bulb. Anyone else had that?
@simonporter007 i don’t have any issues and i have over 40 IKEA lights paired with deConz, which version are you running ? I ask the obvious, do you open the network and then power on the light ? Have you tried to reset the light e.g power cycle 10 times then open network and power on the light ?
I’ve tried upgrading deconz to the .78 version. I am running the beta ubuntu version, don’t know if that matters. I open the network for 10 minutes, just in case I was missing my window, hold the light ridiculously close to the USB with it turned on. I didn’t cycle it 10 times actually, only 6 - where it gives a sort of flash and then stays on. I will try with 10, maybe thats the ticket. You also sound like you open the network and then turn the light on, I’ve been just opening the network with the light already on and holding it close. I’ll try your suggestions, thanks.
Yeah it’s 6 times, that is correct, as long as the light flashes then you are good. It’s crucial that you open the network then turn on the light.
Thanks @donnib I got it working as you said, the key was to open the network and then switch the bulbs on (I totally misunderstood that part) and also my systemd service was incorrect, it was running as my user rather than root. Sorted those two out and I now have the dimmer and bulb connected in deconz. Let the tinkering begin! thanks again.
