Update #3: I’m also able to control my Philips Hue lights using the IKEA Gateway and the HASS light component. :slight_smile:

The feature hasn’t been released yet. It most likely will be around April 22 though.

Hey folks - QQ
I saw on this youtube that a steering device (remote control) is needed to operate the system.
Hub + app and bulbs alone is not sufficient.
Is this limitation also in place with HA?

55

Great read! But why is CoAP being used? If I understand correctly it is used for communicating between app and hub. This doesn’t really require a low overhead protocol like CoAP. Trying to learn here so can anyone explain this a bit more?

56

I’ve gotten my own starter set yesterday and love it!
I was wondering, cannot seem to find it anywhere, is it possible to “intercept” button presses on the remote? for instance: when i press the lights off button, shut down all the lights in that room (not only the Tradfri lights).
I could off course read the state of the light itself, but that might not be handy at all times (when setting some kind of mood or whatever).

57

I think you need the streaming part of the API which the Hass community didn’t figure out yet… So possibly in the future…?

58

I’m going to go and buy some in a few hours, mainly because they have an e14 version and hue doesn’t.

I see that you can control hue lights from the ikea gateway. What’s the best thing to do? Control all bulbs with one gateway (can I use the hue bridge?) or can you/should you run both gateways?

59

Hue does have e14 now
From a month or so back

Hi guys, Im trying to make Ikea TRADFI lights work with 0.43 release (clean installation) but Im not able to. I have a getaway which is discovered in configurator of HA but when I type/paste security code it will not connect and write “unable to connect”. Do anybody have an idea what Im doing wrongly? Thanks!

Hi,

I needed to install also automake and autconf together with the libtool, maybe
sudo apt-get install automake autoconf

can be added to the doucmentation?

62

Having this exact issue, have tried both with and without the configuration in my configuration.yaml, and get same results either way.

63

The current integration needs a special version of libcoap. Install instructions are in in the tradfri component documentation. This should have been mentioned in the release announcement (imho). I think the goal is to use a pure python coap library as soon as it is compatible with the tradfri coap+dtls implemtation.

64

Same problem for me (coap-client built with dtls-support and installed in /usr/local/bin and working from prompt)

65

I have it working from cli just not within home assistant

66

I installed everything according to the documentation, but I am getting error messages in the log and the lights do not respond.

Does the motion sensor work with HA? (The IKEA one)
