Ikea Tradfri Wireless Dimmer

[smulle48]

Version plugin 1.2.2 Version lib 0.28.1 / 0.28 Version firmware 3.0f

After upgrading the lib, the IKEA wireless dimmer does not work. When added is shows up as an generic device with only refresh. If I downgrade to 0.27.9 it works, and the dimmer is added correctly with all values and commands

[doudz]

will be fixed by lib 0.28.2

[smulle48]

sounds great :-)

@doudz Hi again

Something is completely wrong with the IKEA support.

Tried to update to 0.28.2 and the dimmer is recognized as an IKEA dimmer, but the link quality is 0. I tried to refresh the dimmer and the "Commandes" page is filled with "weird" information :-)

I then tried to downgrade to 0.27.9 and the link quality is shown correctly.

One problem with all versions of the lib, is that I can't connect the dimmer to any bulb.

For testing purpose, I tried to install Abielle and everything work as it should. I can add the dimmer to the ZigBee network, connect the bulb to the dimmer, and control everything from Jeedom.

Is it correct that I can't see the dimmer state in Jeedom when using this plugin?? (eg. 10%) In Abielle I can see the dimmer state and the bulb state.

[doudz]

The remote_level_button is not getting change using the remote ?

[smulle48]

No. Not at all.

This is how it looks on the dashboard

[doudz]

Looks like the device "type" is missing, maybe discovery hasn't work. Could you try to call "Découverte" on that device ? Remember to awake the remote to get change.

[doudz]

About the Link Quality, it should works, if not maybe the device is not paired ? When you said you can't connect the bulb and the dimmer, what are you doing with abeille ? and with zigate ?

[doudz]

I ordered a bulb and a dimmer, it will be more easy to test

[smulle48]

I have tried to include/exclude it multiple times but nothing changed. I even tried to PDM reset. It’s like something is blocking the dimmer when included so I can’t connect the dimmer with the bulb. I tried “Découverte” and it was after that, that all the entireties when number showed up on the commandes page.

In Abeille I can connect the dimmer to ZiGate and it shows on the dashboard as a dimmer correctly. I can then afterwards connect the dimmer to the bulb as original with the Ikea Tradfri. It then afterwards shows up on the dashboard correctly as a bulb, so both a bulb and a dimmer is on the dashboard

[doudz]

ok I understand, there's some things that need to be clarified :

• The dimmer can be paired to zigate : before 3.0f, zigate can only get some info like battery, with 3.0f zigate can catch more events, like on,off or level change. To do that both dimmer and zigate need to be in the same zigbee group (and in the future I'll try to do it automagically) because the dimmer can control zigbee group, not direct device

• The bulb can be paired to zigate and can be control by zigate

• When you pair the dimmer to the bulb using Ikea style, technically the dimmer create a zigbee group and put the bulb into the same group in order to control it because the dimmer send commands (on/off/level) to a zigbee group not to a device. So if you put the zigate in the same group, you'll be able to catch events from dimmer. (group list can be retrieve using zigate command 0x0062)

Beside that, as convenient functions, for the dimmer Abeille add commands on the jeedom object to send on / off and level to the zigbee group but really it as nothing to do with the dimmer Any time we could create a button and send a ON command to a group and if there's some bulbs in that group they will turn on.

[doudz]

You can't control the dimmer using zigate, Abeille just mimic the dimmer. If this is what you want, maybe we can add it in a next release

[smulle48]

As long as I can see battery status, link quality and be able to add bulbs directly with the dimmer, I’m happy :-)

One thing though that could be nice, was to be able to see which devices in groups just like the ikea app, and to be able to move a device from group to group.

[doudz]

This will be added soon ;)

[doudz]

I planned to :

• Automatically add zigate to group 0000 (to be able to catch event)
• Automatically add ikea remote to group 0000 (to catch event)
• Add UI to manage groups per device

[smulle48]

You are a champ :-)

I really appreciate the great work you are doing.

Btw. Is the plugin working better in HA? Maybe I should try it again. Been over 6 months since I’ve tried it last time:-)

[doudz]

IMHO HA is better :smile:

[smulle48]

Is the zigbee plugin for HA just as good as yours for Jeedom?

[doudz]

Since you seems interested by battery informations you have to know that there's no battery panel in HA (not natively) but you can still check battery level per device some screen of my HA

[smulle48]

That’s really nice:-)

Think I’ll take it for a spin later today:-)

[smulle48]

is it only the ZiGate folder I have to clone into custom_components ?

What about the panels folder?

[doudz]

The zigate folder should be in custom_components and the panels folder at the same level than custom_components

[doudz]

And you can copy your zigate.jso n file from Jeedom to your ha config folder to keep your config

[smulle48]

can I expose it to HomeKit? :-)

[doudz]

Yes https://www.home-assistant.io/components/homekit/

[smulle48]

Which one will you recommend. Hass.io or Hassbian? :-D

[doudz]

No Idea, I use a custom install. https://community.home-assistant.io/t/what-is-the-difference-between-hassbian-and-hass-io/35108

[doudz]

Closing, since I made a test and it's working

[smulle48]

@doudz

Maybe I'm just a complete fool, but now the Link Quality is not shown in Jeedom. I can see the LQI values in the json file though.

And now my Aqara wireless switch gets disabled after a day or so :-(

Version plugin 1.2.2 Version lib 0.28.4 Version firmware 3.0f

[doudz]

If you click on "Synchroniser" the LQI should appear. You could also try to open "informations" of the jeedom object to see differents values like lqi or lastCommunication

[smulle48]

It did not work, Now I'm installing on a fresh Jeedom to see if it helps.

Looks like Xiaomi problems are known, sadly :-( Hope it will be fixed soon. I'm planning to use the switch as a door bell, but that's not an option atm, when Xiaomi devices are so unstable

[doudz]

I'm not sure you use the last release of the plugin, on the "Santé" page I see "Rssi" but it has been renamed LQI

[smulle48]

I'm not sure you use the last release of the plugin, on the "Santé" page I see "Rssi" but it has been renamed LQI

I'm on the latest release, and it still says Rssi. Maybe it's changed in the pre-release?

[smulle48]

Do you know how long it will take before the update is pushed to the Jeedom market? :-)

[doudz]

Jeedom Market is updated every night

[smulle48]

Okay. Then I have to wait until tomorrow to test it, unless there’s a way to update it manually

[smulle48]

working now :-)
