Hi, I’m still new to HA and have a problem with 2 Ikea Tradfri lights. I have them connected via DeConz and a ConBee II and most of the time they work without a problem. Sometimes however, they both become unavailable, usually between switching on (sunset +10 minutes) and switching off (11pm). Also occasionally, one of the 2 will come on during the day for no apparent reason. I also have a Xiaomi open/close sensor attached the same way which hasn’t suffered any problems.
Apart from looking at the DeConz logs (where I can’t see any obvious errors but that doesn’t mean much) I don’t know how to start diagnosing this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I have several Ikea lights bulbs. One is no working (I can’t event pair it with deconz as Ikea seems to have change firmware.) When did you buy those bulbs?
Is deconz up to date?
Are the bulbs far from the gateway?
Which zigbee channel do you use? Have to tried to change channel?
Do you power them off (electrical off) with conventionnal wall switch?
I already had had that issue, so I decideted to change the switch by a Xiaomi battery powered switch or by including a shelly 1.
The bulbs are only about 20 feet from the gateway although they are outside
DeConz says the current channel is 15 and I haven’t tried changing it (if it is worth trying can you tell me how please?)
They are powered from a standard wall switch and if I can’t solve this I was also going to look at putting standard bulbs back in and using a smart switch of some kind instead.
