IKEA On/Off Switch Zigbee Issues and Troubleshooting Zigbee

Configuration
2

You’ve likely seen the battery drain thread, with my summary of experience.

  1. Don’t bother looking for a network analyser toolset. Basically, the Tradfri is dead and needs adding back to the Zigbee network again. Replace the battery, use the button on the back to reset it, and add it back to Zigbee.

    • Settings → Devices & Services → Zigbee → IKEA of Sweden TRADFRI remote control → `RECONFIGURE DEVICE’

  2. I’ve not updated the firmware in my Sonoff USB coordinator and similar problems to those you are seeing went away after taking the steps im my summary post.

  3. The updates happen magically over about 24h.
    Check the firmware version to see if it changes. The latest Tradfri seems to be 0x23080631 / 2.3.080.

  4. Attributes like battery level appear and disappear due to firmware bugs, and although Reconfigure Device* may help, my experience is it will fail again until the remote gets a firmware update.
