Thanks for the great info on the gateway setup. However, your wiring diagram picture seems to be missing, could you by any chance re-upload it to somewhere we could see it?
EDIT: Never mind, I now saw that the picture is here: https://github.com/Genestealer/Home-Assistant-RFLink-Gateway-ESP8266
Thanks!
Hey Will this one work

I’ve seen these before but never personally tried one. It’s a brilliant idea and I can’t think of any reason why it wouldn’t work. It takes all of the worries of powering the two devices and sorting out level shifting. You have a number of choices of different pre-made firmwares to install on the esp8266 module which will form a Wi-Fi to serial bridge to the RFLink Gateway running on the Arduino CPU.
Are you planing making a esp8266 with CC2500 ?
No. But the ESP is not communicating with the CC2500 directly. It’s controlled by the RFLink gateway firmware running in the Arduino.
I heard somewhere that Ikea are releasing a Trådfri version of the Ansluta transformer in a couple of months, meaning it will be controllable like the other Ikea smart lights. Hoping for it to happen sooner rather than later. 
If you can’t wait, you can use an this hardware: https://github.com/Genestealer/Home-Assistant-RFLink-Gateway-ESP8266 the CC2500 can control the Ansluta transformers.
I’ve also got some OMLOPP strips under my kitchen cabinet. I chose to use a Sonoff to controll them, the cheapest and one of the most reliable solutions imo!
Hey @CarlE, just be wary, those Sonoff controllers don’t have CE or FCC marks. Consider that the lack of CE marking means a lack of CE/BSI safety approval, their would need to be evidence proving conformity to various EU directives. I can assume an insurance company leaping on this (i.e. - no CE accreditation) as a reason not to pay out in the event of something going wrong.
CE marking is complex, but in essence, it’s applied by the manufacturer to say their product complies with EU safety, health and environmental requirements.
Do you have any sources on this? Would be stoked to get a Trådfri enabled transformer!
No can’t find it now. I believe I read it on a Swedish home automation forum, but I’ll post an update once/if I know more.
Folks are trying to duplicate the Ansluta signal using a Pi and java: https://github.com/mdeverdelhan/Ansluta-remote-replication
Just tested: it’s not working but maybe it’s worth diving into it.
I was in my local Ikea today buying some TRÅDFRI bulbs and a gateway. I already have some OMLOPP under cabinet lighting with an Ansluta transformer. The assistant who was helping me showed me the new tradfri enabled transformers that they have now, so I bought one intending to swap it out. Unfortunately when I went to swap it I discovered that it needs a different power cable to the ansluta transformer I already have. So I’ll need another trip to Ikea before I can try it out!
The assistant said the tradfri transformers just appeared one day. They hadn’t been told about them in advance, and they’re still not on their website. Just hoping they actually have the power cables for them when I go back!
Which ikea was this? Need to get one as well.
It was Coventry Ikea in the UK.
I’ll take a couple of photos later (although it basically looks like the Ansluta transformer).
Great! Hoping they have released them here in Sweden as well.
Awesome, doesn’t look like they have this on their USA website yet.
The weird thing is, they’re not on the Ikea UK website yet either.
