Ikea OMLOPP/ANSLUTA; anyone have experience with this?

The firmware for the RFLink Gateway is for the ATmega2560 (Mega), the Uno uses the ATmega328P. So no it will not work.

You could try the: yasiralijaved/ Arduino-CC2500-Library

Most homes more then a few years old, are equipped with 12V G4 halogen downlights.
The IKEA TRADFRI driver (transformer) delivers 24Volt.
So, I guess it cannot be used to drive existing 12V halogen light rows.

Hey. I know this is a very old topic but would you be able to elaborate on this?
Ive got UTRUSTA lights, with i am controling with ANSULTA remote. Is it 433MHz or 2400MHz communication. Ive got RFLink 433.42MHz (not 433.92MHz) gateway and it doesnt see any commands sent by ANSULTA remote. This being said, ive been googling my lights and some sources say that my lights are being controlled by 433MHz, while others say that the lights are being controlled by 2400MHz. How can i found out? RFLink gateways are quite expensive so dont want to spend money on another two just to check if and which one will work.
Also assuming that UTRUSTA are controlled by 2.4GHz will not that interfere with my existing wifi and Zigbee networks?

PS. Ive seen online howtos how to upgrade UTRUSTA with Tradfri transformers, to be able to pair it with Trafdri - unfortunately this wont work for me, as im also using 230V sockets on my UTRUSTA strips

Hi!

Don’t you have any instructions on how to put everything together in one device.
What is better to buy?

  1. MEGA+WiFi R3 ATmega2560+ESP8266, flash 32MB, USB-TTL CH340G, Micro-USB - https://robotdyn.com/mega-wifi-r3-atmega2560-esp8266-flash-32mb-usb-ttl-ch340g-micro-usb.html
  2. CC2500 2.4GHZ Transceiver
  3. E.G. Resistor based logic level converter (For CC2500).

Or .

  1. UNO+WiFi R3 ATmega328P+ESP8266, 32Mb flash, USB-TTL CH340G, Micro-USB - https://robotdyn.com/uno-wifi-r3-atmega328p-esp8266-32mb-flash-usb-ttl-ch340g-micro-usb.html
  2. CC2500 2.4GHZ Transceiver
  3. E.G. Resistor based logic level converter (For CC2500). (whether it is needed for UNO)

How to connect?
What to stitch?
So you can use RFLink (Living Color) and Home Assistant.

Thank you in advance for your answer.

Interesting.
Well RFlink firmware only works on the ATmega2560, so so you would need to use the MEGA+WiFi. The UNO+WiFi would not work as it’s a different processor.

I think that would be fairly straightforward to wire up.
First you need to set those little dip switches into the mode that allows you to load the ESP-link firmware into the ESP-8266. Then set the dip switches to the the Arduino, programme in the RFLink firmware. then set the dip switches to allow serial communication between the two devices.

In my setup I have a separate esp8266 and Arduino mega.

I hope this helps.

Found this https://github.com/ksjoberg/ikea-ansluta-bridge
Looks like simple and elegant solution.
It doesnt work with new NodeMCU firmwares, but it runs on 1.5.4.1-final.
Unfortunately doesnt seem to work, I don’t think it connects to wifi at all.

Hi. I have create an ESPHome custom component to convert the Ansluta controller into a dimmable light.
I have it working in my home assistant.

I know it’s an old topic, but if someone have this lights and controller installed (like me) maybe it can be helpfull…
