Upgrade to 0.55.0 Ikea Tradfri not working anymore

Installation
63

I can confirm that this works. I only had to add

allow_tradfri_groups: False

to my configuration.yaml file to prevent ‘group’ errors.

I also can confirm that Transitions are working on hass.io 0.55 @ RPI3 but transitions are only working for light turn_on command.

I have just reinstalled using the latest Hassbian 1.31 and now my Tradfri works with the additional functions and info.

Thanks

67

Yes, this works for me as well after installing the latest version of Hasbian. (No need for the other steps above when using this latest version of Hasbian with hass-0.55).

Note that compiling and setting up can take up to 40 minutes (just so people know you have to be patient).

68

Trying the new hassbian as well but run into a strange error :(.

69

I think I got hassbian working now (I ignored the errors and continued with copying over my config files).

So now I have a sensor.tradfri_motion_sensor in Hass.
But I don’t see any change in attributes/status when motion is detected.
Anyone know how we can receive this?

I have a sensor.tradfri_remote_control showing the battery %. Can you do anything else with the remote now?

71

Hi Stimo,

It depends. I think you can just keep using the remote in parallel to home assistant if you prefer. Homeassistant keeps track of the state as well ( i.e. if you switch with the remote, hass will know).For the rest I only see ‘60%’ battery ( for my newly purchased remote…).

But there is no useful information coming from the remote itself as far as I know, if that is what you are asking.

Alex.

I meant using the remote to control things there HASS

Anyone upgraded to 0.55.1? Tradfri still working? (Rasbian Stretch + Virtual environment + workaround from @rubyan)

74

wait… there is an update? I’ll check this evening and will report back.

75

Update to 0.55.1 went OK. Tradfri is still working.
Transition time has also been fixed; ‘transition’ => 10 is now 10 seconds instead of 1.

76

Does transition work also for turn_off?

77

Unfortunately not. But you can use turn_on with a transition to brightness: 0 instead.

78

Yeah, but then, when turning the light back on it is set to the lowest brightness possible (above 0).

79

I got it working but it needs some polish.

Hi Guys,

Did someone experience the same?

Did your IKEA gateway get updated today? There is a known issue with the new update that the developers are working on as we speak.
