Ikea Tradfri Starkvind air purifier sensors missing?

Configuration Zigbee
1

I just got an Ikea Starkvind air purifier and connected it to HA through Zigbee / ConBee II USB Stick (I don’t have an Ikea Tradfri Gateway).

Connecting the Starkvind was easy and I can turn the fan on and off and set its speed.

I expected it to also show an air quality sensor, but there is none. Am I doing something wrong?

Here is a screenshot of the found device (note the two “null” entries?) and of the device after pairing:

Please let me know if there is some way to get the air quality sensor reading.

Thanks

Perhaps try re-pairing.

I already tried repairing - same result, no air quality sensors.

Just for the record… the air quality sensor suddenly appeared in the sensor list when I checked again a few days later. I don’t know why or if I did anything to make it appear… weird.

Here is an updated screenshot for comparison:

Maybe it published some info.

Hi there, any idea where to check if STARKVIND Air Purifier and Air Puifier Table detects as Fan plus 3 modes (on, auto, smart) but without any sensors at all?

HA 2022.10.0 (build using haos_rpi4-64-9.0.img.xz)
ZHA + Sonoff Zigbee 3.0 USB Stick

Tried re-pairing and reconfigure (from device info page) not helping.

I have exactly the same, STARKVIND Air Purifier on detects Fan plus modes as above…
HA 2022.10.0
ZHA + Sonoff Zigbee 3.0 Plus v2 (E)…EFR32MG21 chip.

On a side note when I got the USB dongle I first tested on Zigbee2mqtt and it discovered all STARKVIND Sensors without problems… a few days ago I decided to change to ZHA as its built in.

Any updates on this? I can see the endpoint configure but it’s not displaying the pm2.5 sensor

Perhaps a clue or maybe just a ‘worked for me’.

After pairing my new Starkvind, it did the OTA update within about 10 mins and ‘reconfigure’ showed the air quality and pm2.5 attributes/cluster, but it wasn’t until I rebooted my HA instance that the sensor values showed up.

Can confirm. I set it up a few days ago and nothing helped (including restarts). I read your message now and did another restart, voila it’s there. Seems like we just needs to wait a day (?) then reboot and it works.
