Unable to pair IKEA Tradfri bulbs with ZHA using Sonoff ZBBridge

Configuration
1

I can’t get my IKEA Tradfri lights to pair with my ZHA instance. I’ve been able to setup zigbee sensors using ZHA successfully, a couple of Sonoff and Tuya sensors. I have been able to pair the light bulbs to the original IKEA gateway. So I know the lightbulbs are working correctly. I’ve then reset them into pairing mode.

My hardware setup

  • IKEA tradfri gateway — I have some other IKEA lights paired to this still.
  • IKEA tradfri wireless dimmer switch
  • Sonoff ZBBridge flashed with tasmota and setup with ZHA as an integration in Homeassistant.

What I’ve tried so far

  • Tried moving the Sonoff ZBBridge closer to the lightbulb, within 30-40cm.

I’ve seen these posts, but unable to get their solutions to work

Bump. I’m still unable to pair my IKEA bulbs with ZHA. Can anyone help?

3

I have a sonoff flashed ZBBriidge and I also do not success into pairing a Tradfri bulb and ZHA.

4

I’m not sure what to say but I managed to get all of mine paired. Try putting the device in pairing mode while the scan is running on the ZHA side.

I have one ikea light as well, that i cannot get to respond with my sonoff zbbridge. Log seems pretty similar. I’m able to pair it with a ikea remote control, but not with hassio through ZHA.

I resolved the original issue in the end. The mistake I was making, was that I wasn’t fully resetting the bulbs correctly. I think the instructions to reset them are slightly confusing. However, re-read the instructions, I think it was 6x on-off switches, the light needs to be turned on to begin with. You’ll know when the light is in the correct pairing mode because it flashes on and off like a heartbeat continuously (from what I remember).

Yes, pairing mode is hard to find at times.

My Lidl lights have this weird pattern.
start with power_on:
(2s power_off following with 0.2s power_on)*3 is hard for the brain after pairing ikea lights with fast on/off.

This light of mine i have been able to connect earlier. I manage to get all the other lights pair just fine, but this one light i can not get to pair anymore. It works just fine with ikea’s own switch, but not with the ZHA/hassio anymore.
Maybe it has something to do with the app_version.

I just left it out of my setup for now.

Guys I would like to ask a question about these Ikea bulbs.

I am interested to buy but I see in the description that they support 2200K, 2700K and 4000K.

When paired with zdbridge can you adjust the chromaticity on other kelvin values?

I would like to have about 3500K. The builds I am interested to buy are these ones:

Thanks
