I didn’t do anything special however it took me several retries to get them added. I also put them next to the zigbee stick when trying to pair which often helps.
I did not continue experimenting and returned my set to Lidl. I have a lot of Milight lamps at home and thought it would be more convenient to switch to lamps without the intervention of an extra hub and directly controlled by Zigbee. In the meantime, I’ve continued with Milight and finally gotten them working with HA. The esp8266 hub works fine in itself.
Anyone knows If the colored bulbs use separate white spectrum LEDs?
Got some tradfri bulbs at the moment, which don’t have it and white tones aren’t very good, so looking for a good alternative.
There are some new devices available from Lidl.
The irrigation controller (battery powered zigbee valve) looks interesting. Not mention the ceiling lamps and the bloom like lamp.
