I hope you have some IKEA Smart lighting products.

I believe decONZ and the Conbee II support the IKEA products in Home Assistant directly?

Yeah they don't work properly. Ikea has this concept of a steering device. For the bulbs it's easier to use an Ikea gateway and Home assistant integration.

The lights come in fine, a lot of the other stuff like dimmers and motion sensors don't come in so smoothly. Admittedly I haven't tried for a while, it might be better now as it seems they are on the compatibility list. 

https://zigbee.blakadder.com/Ikea_E1810.html Might be switching to ZHA shortly anyway as the Centralite Pearl Thermostats I just got are not behaving nicely with deCONZ yet in ZHA they are full functional. With over 50 Zigbee devices, not looking forward to that!

cant wait for the sell post on that lot!

Ikea is tradfri is zigbee is hue compatible, so ConBee II and deCONZ is the right way. ;-)

I have tradfri light combined with tradfri and hue dimmer/switches.

@xmbcnut

Those are sold out and EOL here in EUR and replaced by STYRBAR in white and steel (yesterday, I’ve been at ikea).

Since the hue dimmer is the same price (here) as the ikeas in the US, it doesn‘t make much difference for me. But the Styrbar uses 2x AAA instead of a CR2032 cell.

Thanks @Tinkerisk.

I'm aware of the new model but you can't buy them in Aussie on their own but the older one is still available so might gobble some up then.

FYI in case of trouble (quote from Home Assistant)

“The general recommendation is to only use channels 15, 20, or 25 in order to avoid interoperability problems with Zigbee devices that are limited to only being compatible with the ZLL (Zigbee Light Link) channels as well as lessen the chance of Wi-Fi networks interfering too much with the Zigbee network. Note that especially using Zigbee channels 11, 24, 25, or 26 on your Zigbee Coordinator could mean it will probably not be accessible to older devices as those Zigbee channels are commonly only supported by relatively modern Zigbee hardware devices with newer Zigbee firmware.

Regardless, note that the best practice recommendation is, however, not to change the Zigbee channel from default as not all Zigbee devices support all channels. If you have issues with overlapping frequencies, then it will generally be a better idea to just change Wi-Fi channels on your Wi-Fi Router or all your Wi-Fi Access Points instead.“
