- Let's take a look at IKEA Trådfri, some of the most budget friendly smart home devices on the market. Plus, the devices are easily available at IKEA, and quickly paired with Homey! You don't need the Ikea Hub if you're using Homey Pro or Homey Bridge, the Zigbee devices can be connected natively to Homey.
With Homey and IKEA Trådfri you can create the right atmosphere in any room, for any mood, at any time. Automatically turn the IKEA lights off and on, select your optimal brightness, and create presets for different times of the day. Choose from Ikea's range of remotes and create Flows that let you quickly control any room in your smart home.

Hi, and thanks for the video.
I am successfully adding the Fyrtur Blind, but when the blinds are connected and operated by Homey Pro the IKEA remote for the blinds stop working.
When i re-connect the remote to the blinds - the Homey Pro loose connection, and only the remote works. I have re-connected, re-paired, re-installed, re-booted, and re-everything multiple times but connecting one thing always disconnects the other.
Anyone knows if this is by design (or the lack of it), or am I missing out of something?
is it possible to connect tradfri devices to the zigbee hub in an eero router?
is there any app that has light control that allows the lights to gradually dim on and off as the day goes? I want to be awoken gently and be put to sleep naturally, thank you. I have the ikea system now, so if something is compatible that is great, but if you have another system that works, I would be happy. I dont want to notice the change in light strenght through the day.
So should i purchase the hub from Ikea or a 3rd party one?
I managed to connect rodret dimmer to lights but when i connect rodret dimmer to homey I loose connection to lights
I have a 90+ devices already connected to Tradfri Gateway. Is there some way how to transfer to Homey Pro 2.0?
Do Homey support all features as Tradfri Gateway like firmware updates or is it possible to connect it simultaneously?
Hey Jan, they can be used together check out this Homey App for a connection with the IKEA Gateway - homey.app/a/com.ikea.tradfri.gateway/
Can the Homey update IKEA device as well or is the IKEA bridge needed for that?
Hey Panzer, if an update is needed for an IKEA device, this will need to be done via the IKEA bridge. However, it is quite rare for manufacturers to send over the air updates for existing smart devices. Often these updates are shipped with the new generation of the devices.
Is the Ikea gateway compatible with Zigbee devices from other companies, such as Xiaomi?
Very unlikely... That's why we recommend a universal gateway like Homey! ;)
Hi! I have 6 IKEA smart lamps already installed (on the same wall switch) in the ceiling. Think it is GU10 connector. Can I pair all of them together by toggling the wall switch 6 times (making them all go on/off simultaneously)? Or I have to take them down and pair them one by one?
One by one. then you need to group them or light them one by one.
Hey Fredrik, you do need to pair these each one by one. You cannot pair multiple bulbs all at the same time unfortunately.
Will the round IKEA remote work? Earlier one remote in one room controlled all the IKEA lights in the house when connected with Homey..
Hey Arnfinn, in our Talks with Homey App Store you can browse all of our Apps (integrations) and see the devices, and Flows for those devices for each app. Check out homey.app/a/com.ikea.tradfri/ - You'll see the round remote is supported.
@@homey please answer his question
Thank you for the demo and your representation. The smart gear from IKEA looks interesting, I am just concerned about its electronics quality / circuits and protections. Any additional info for that? Thank you.
some of the ikea electronics have a fail-safe mechanism in which the device will shut down it self and cut the power if it faces a short circuit, the USB port chargers have that bulit-in, not sure if the blinds are included.
@@iamOmarmG Thank You so much for your reply. I am slightly more concerned about bulbs as it runs most of the time.
@@valkyrie_workshop IKEA is usually good quality! Wouldnt worry
Hi, can u use ikea(sonos) bookshelf speaker to homey?
Hey Snickarns, yes you can! You can add these via the Sonos App for Homey - homey.app/a/com.sonos/ - It's one of my favorite integrations, there are lots of cool functions to explore. Make sure to check out my video on Sonos to learn more. :)
Hi there. When operating the blinds with the Ikea remote in "Ikea mode" (by either connecting the remote directly to the blind or connecting the blind via the ikea hub) you can stop the blind while it is moving by pressing the button a second time. This does not work when the blind is connected through homey. Can you fix that please 🙏. Also, we need to be able to just start the blind moving up or down instead of setting it at a certain percentage. Please fix this too 🙏🙏
So, to sum up, we need to have 3 more actions that we can add to our flows. 1. Start blind to roll down. 2. Start blind to roll up. 3. Stop blind. Thanks 👍
Hey Lars, thanks for the suggestion! I've passed it forward internally, hopefully it can be added in a future update. For the Up and Down controls, you can use the % position and use 100% or 0%, but we are indeed missing a 'Stop' Flow card which i've requested to be added. :)
Is there a possibility to stop the blind now? I have 9 of them and this feature would be very nice (like in „Ikea Mode“ with the remote only connection)
Does the bulbs need to be an ikea product or just any smart bulb will work with the ikea tradfri remote?
Hey Renwick, if you're running it via Homey, then you can pair any smart light with any remote. Homey acts as the middle man! :)
Sad, I can't connect even one lamp of IKEA to homey... I know it's beta with the cloud, but out of eleven lamps, it's a bit of a pity Homey doesn't work properly
Hey Stefano, sorry to hear that. IKEA Tradfri lights have been well tested, and these should be working without issue. Are you sure you are following the pairing process correctly? Depending on the strength of your Zigbee network, it can help to pair the Bulbs in proximity to Homey. Once paired, you can move them further away, but it needs to remain in range of the Zigbee mesh network or in range of Homey directly.
Onde está o meu hub?
Is there going to be support for the PRAKTLYSING blinds?
Hey DJ Whacked, I can't make any promises, but we're looking into it. Stay tuned for upcoming App updates.
Can I pair Apple Homepod mini to homey?
Hey Filip, there is no officially supported App for the Homepod mini, but there is a community app for an integration with HomeKit. (homey.app/a/com.swttt.homekit/) or you can use Siri Shortcuts - czcams.com/video/ukfg5u2-xDk/video.html
@@homey okey thanks
Does ikea rotating dimmer works properly? Can you actually rotate to smoothly dim lights?
No unfortunately it doesn’t. The all even says that the device support for the rotating dimmer might be removed in the future
@@martinligtenberg7618 sad. Do you know any Homey compatible wireless rotating dimmers?
@@polischuk16 As Martin said, the rotating dimmers are currently not properly supported. We are working on these, but it may not be feasible with the way Ikea has designed them. I can suggest the AWRT-1000 rotating dimmer from Trust Smart Home. Connected via homey.app/a/nl.klikaanklikuit/
I can anyone advice not to use Ikea Smart Home gear. Made the mistake of using it all over my flat. 1.5 years and a switch to the new hub later, 2 smart power switches and one light broke down completely.
Most fun though, that the hub casually forgets every connected device from time to time, with no power cut. This means the devices are still in the app, but you have to remove, reconnect, name and assign EVERY device. Most fun are the ones you need a screw driver for. Too expensive for single device use, but unsutible for real smart home applications, unless you have the time to reinstall the whole setup every 6 month or so and have no problem with gear breaking down within a year...
Not Tr(ah)dfri. More like Tr(ohw)dfree. ;)
Haha, thanks for the correction Patrik. I will keep it in mind for future videos!
is the "å" sound always the same? i know it is for månneskin, and åkerfeldt. but do not know if there is any exception
@@cocotug0 Im not sure what Måneskin is tho. but yes its the same sound on most words. Its ofc hard to type, but th phonetic is [o:]. You say it from the throat as you breath out. So its a pretty hard sounding letter. A good example in English would be saying "oh my god" the first sound you make in "oh" is a Å. So you wold say "ouw" and then remove "uw" to get the Å sound.
Too fast, poor pedagogy...hej då
Hey Victoria, thanks for your feedback. I'll try to take it a little slower in upcoming, more technical, videos.
I suggest DO NOT use the Ikea batteries. They don't last long. Might as well use your own batteries.
Good to know! In my experience, I haven't noticed an especially short battery life with the standard IKEA batteries, but replacing with other batteries is relatively easy.
Really useless video
