Since I have a lot of Ikea Trådfri devices (Zigbee) and Ikea is now shifting 100% to Matter/Thread for their new products, I thought maybe some precautions should be taken. There have been signs that the new bulbs might support both Thread and Zigbee and that would of course be good for future comp…

I have now connected the light bulb. I needed to update the firmware via Matter/Thread to version 1.1.0. I also had to work with Touchlink. This is my solution: Update zigbee2mqtt and the coordinator to the latest version Update the light bulb via Matter/Thread to firmware version 1.1.0 or higher…

For anyone struggling with this, try changing your Zigbee channel to 11 or 17. I was ready to give up after having my Kajplats E27 470lm light touching my ZBT-1 coordinator whilst it was pulsing following the 15 reset cycle and just couldn’t get it to join. My network was on channel 20, I tried ch…

Experimented a bit with 3 different KAJPLATS E14 WS globe 806lm bulbs. (white ligths) A is added normally via Matter: - out of the box firmware Firmware: 1.1.0 Hardware: P2.0 - when controlling i get the option of controlling color (doesn’t really work - only for white lights) B is added via no…

Move one of them to Channel 20 or 25, do they don’t fight overr the same Channel.

Having fiddled about a few times, a strict 12 on/offs will flash the bulb to cold white and allow it to be adopted

I’m experiencing the same issue; when I try to set the light to red in Home Assistant, it shows up as pink instead. I’m using a FUT089Z remote, and when I select the built-in red color there, the bulb displays the correct red. As a workaround, I created a dedicated button in Home Assistant to force…

Yeah. The KAJPLATS bulbs have a wider (better) color space, and Z2M / ZHA does not know how to handle it yet. They primarily use MoveToColor (X, Y) after some color conversion that does not match them. Indeed, the fix is to use MoveToHueAndSaturation instead. This gives the full capabilities of th…

Did someone managed to get the E27 470lm whitebalance clear bulb to run with ZHA? I bought one yesterday, 15 off-on switching and it’s in pairing mode but my HA (ConBee II as coordinator) does not pick it up at all :frowning:

Kajplats E27 1055lm. Could not connect via Thread and the 6 switches on/off to enter pairing. Instead, used the 12 switch on/off to change to ZHA. Home Assistant control of light with ZHA is lagging but not critical. But. What is painful is that when I proceed to pair the remotes to the lights that…

Check this blueprint.

Use a smart socket to automate turning on/off the bulb to get it into pairing mode.

Works for both older IKEA Tradfri Bulbs and the latest Kajplats.

Huge time saver!
