Trouble pairing Ikea TRÅDFRI Wireless control outlet

Configuration Zigbee
1

Yesterday I bought an Ikea TRÅDFRI Wireless control outlet to be able to pair with Home Assistant so I could use it to turn my Christmas tree lights on/off. I run HA in a docker container on unRAID, and it was running version 0.102.3 and I upgraded this afternoon to 0.103.0. I have a HUSBZB-1 connected to the server which I pass through to the docker container without any issues. I have other Ikea TRÅDFRI lights that are connected to HA without any issues. They were however paired to HA in a previous version. When I plugged the outlet in and hit the reset/pair button on it, I checked HA to see if it would show up. I did not see a new device showing under the integration, but I do see this in the logs:

Any ideas what could be causing this? I assume now that HA doesn’t have an option to listen for new devices anymore, it’s always listening for new devices. But I don’t see a new entity showing up in HA for the outlet so it does not seem like it’s being added at all.

Hi!
How many devices do you have linked to tradfri hub? It has a maximum.

I don’t have a Tradfri hub. I’m just connecting my Tradfri devices directly to HA using Zigbee. Here are the other devices:

So I found this post that has a similar error, and I followed the directions to look in .storage. Inside core.device_registry there is this entry:

{
                "area_id": null,
                "config_entries": [
                    "1f2b5e237863490f9149910d1fd5843c"
                ],
                "connections": [
                    [
                        "zigbee",
                        "00:0d:6f:00:12:00:b1:81"
                    ]
                ],
                "id": "bbd8b921b74d4c82b987504d6342a233",
                "identifiers": [
                    [
                        "zha",
                        "00:0d:6f:00:12:00:b1:81"
                    ]
                ],
                "manufacturer": "ZHA",
                "model": "EZSP",
                "name": "Zigbee Coordinator",
                "name_by_user": null,
                "sw_version": null,
                "via_device_id": null
            },

I also checked inside the zigbee.db and there is no device showing in the attributes table with that ieee but there is one in the devices table. However based on the information in core.device_registry it would seem to me that this is the USB stick itself and not the Ikea outlet. Is there any way to confirm this?

So, looks like this problem was a two-fold me problem. I wasn’t pushing the button long enough for pairing:

To factory reset the TRADFRI control outlet, press and hold the reset button (pinhole underneath the light, located at the top (bottom if UK) of the outlet) with a paperclip until the white light starts fading. Hold onto the button for a few more seconds, then release. After this, the outlet will automatically connect.

And I also forgot that the ZHA section was further down in configuration where I had to go in there and hit “Add Device”. Once I did all of that, it showed up.

I have the same problem, tried pressing the button long enough on the plug, I’m hearing an audible click but ZHA still doesn’t find the device. Anyone an idea?

My zigbee controller is a Sonofd USb-p dongle
