I thought I’d just share my success with adding four Kajplats E27 1521 lumen to ZHA.
Had these previously connected over matter.
Started with 6 power cycles to reset the bulb. Waited for a few seconds to see the confirmation. Continued with 12 power cycles, waited for the cold white confirmation and a second after this, the bulb showed up in ZHA.
Like others have mentioned, it doesn’t show any manufacturer information, but everything still works.
Seems to be fully integrated with the rest of the Zigbee network
I want to thank you guys for these ideas here and want to share my experience as well if it helps others in future.
I have “KAJPLATS E27 WS G95 clear 806lm
IKEA of Sweden” lamp that i first tried to use under HUE bridge but that was misery, it kept dropping out of connection every night and required powercycle to reconnect.
I tried to connect it to ZHA with no luck using the 6 time powercycle reset. For me the 12 time cycle didnt produce any outcome -lamp didnt react anyway.
FOR ME the solution was to make the 15 time reset which led to the lamp continuosly dimming and during that period it was also discoverable by SONOFF Zigbee 3.0 USB Dongle Plus V2
Ah thanks for pointing it out. I did notice earlier that some were working on support.
With the generic profile it’s already functional (far I can tell fully functional).
I bought a Kajplats E14 806. I first added it to ZHA with Matter of Threads (I have Google Nest Hub as Border Router). Worked really well, even the firmware updates where possible.
With Zigbee first time 12 power cylces, did put it on pairing mode and interview started but hanged. 2nd time it was added over Zigbee. This time no firmware updates where possible and less functions also.
Both ways did not enabled some cool effects.
Kayplats Globe G95 did nothing at 12 power cycles. Start breathing at 15 power cycles, but no pairing with Skyconnect over ZHA… at first! After a couple of minutes it blinked and blinked again and it was paired and shown in ZHA. I t was on firmware 1.0.28.
But what a devices Ikea made! Matter is really easy to set up, stable and flexible. But it also supports Zigbee for legacy. Lights are much better and no coilwhine (for now). You can’t go wrong with these devices :).
OK, so after the extra replies I gave another shot. Or many shots. It looks like my bulb is freezing after a minute or so in zigbee mode. It often doesn’t appear, sometimes it gets to the interviewing fase, sometimes I can add it but it becomes unresponsive after a few seconds.
Also gave it another shot. After 15 cycles, the bulb starts pulsating and sometimes becomes detectable in zha. The interview phase starts, but never finishes.
