bought a Tradfri control outlet and remote switch and installed these just fine in the Ikea Tradfri app.
they appear as sensors but no on/off for the outlet and state unknown (no matter if I switch it on or off), or switch option for the remote switch. Is this not yet supported?
Do you get any other information back from these other than on/off state? For example some sockets can show current kWh or total etc was hoping to use these due to price but wanted the monitor capabilities also.
Thanks
Do you need to have the gateway for these to work?
I was looking at other more expensive and not safety certified options and these are the better option.
Just want to know how you connected them to HA.
Is the IKEA “on-off switch” available only when you purchase it packaged with the “control outlet kit”? I’m not seeing anything in the IKEA store that’s any semblance to an on-off control other than what’s in this package??
The IKEA app allows one to add a “wireless on-off” and this appears to be the only thing I can find that’s purchasable from their web site.
I’m hoping to use this “on-off” remote to trigger other automation scenarios. I’ve got the wireless remote control dimmer as my initial “steering device”, however, there’s nothing consumable in hassio that I can see from this remote device (other than battery level?).
Thanks in advance to anyone for assistance/clarification
Thats it yes. Only as a package, at least here in Nl.
You’ll have 2 entities: a switch (the outlet) and a sensor (the remote switch…) was a bit confusing to start with .
See below for 2 sets in my setup
You can see the states of the remote (battery) and switch (on/off), so yes, you can use these in automations. It’s what I do myself.
Btw, there are 2 versions available. With and without remote (switch) so watch closely when ordering
