I’ve got a couple TRADFRI light bulbs I’m trying to add via DeConz. I’ve got ConBee ii stick installed and I know it works as I have several Aqara senors up and running. But, I cannot seem to figure out how to had the TRADFRI bulbs. It’s my understanding that I don’t need the TRADRI remote or gateway, I should be able add through DeConz. Is that correct? If so, any assistance on the required steps to pair would be greatly appreciated!
Tried the 6 times on/off to reset the bulb? then try to add the lightbulb via the conbee controller.
yes that’s right, pairing is possible and it works too. occasionally had problems if the bulb was too far from the Conbee module. If the bulbs have already been connected to a hub, they must of course first be reset to the factory settings, see entry above …
Yes. I did the six on/off (longer off than on). On the sixth on, the light dimmed a bit. I then opened DeConz > Lights > Add New Lights. It runs and never pairs.
For whatever reason it appeared to me that the bulbs wont route through anything when in pairing mode. I had to take my smart bulbs and put them in the same room as the PI/Host with the Conbee to get then paired at first.
I could then put them wherever I wanted and they were fine.

yes, that’s exactly what I suspect …
It also helped me to carry out a reset (6x on and off) while Conbee is trying to pair. One light wouldnt pair at all until I tried this way.
Thanks everyone. I got it to work. Doing the reset is what I needed.
