The drver I use is the following one;
Ikea Zigbee Sound Controller
This device enters stand-by mode quite rapidly and that makes it sometimes difficult to discover.
The trick is to maintain it awake while "discovering", configuring and saving the device.
Detailed recommendations are found in its thread discussion, as I was mentioning before;
It is somewhat lengthy, but I recommend going through it.
Really Gentle
Thanks
You was right
This Ikea device work great
Thank Thank Thanks
Great!
enthusiasm is gone
I think it devours the batteries in 3 days
and what's worse every time I change the battery or disconnect the power it won't reconnect I have to remove it and reconnect it
No need to remove them. Simply rediscover the Zigbee device.
Battery reporting does not work. Battery life in my case (used daily as bed light dimmers) is 6 mo. with IKEA batteries.
How to.do it?
if i rediscover it made a new device, or not?
One more question
Why if now is paired and working, i can't find it in the child list?
the name is Regolatore lettura

Just repeat the discovery process, without erasing the device.
It will say “Existing Device Discovered”. Go to the device page and hit “Configure”.
It will not create a new device, it will simply update the device access.
Battery operated devices only make it to the list if used within the time frame of listing. They do not report constantly as plugged devices do.
Thanks
During my experience with the (SYMFONISK) IKEA
I have noticed that
What can I do?
Battery reporting is not reliable with this driver. I have three that I use on a daily basis and they report 2,5 (%?), 0,0 and 0,0 ??!! And they are working perfectly.
Yes, changing the battery requires re-discovering them. A pain in the ***.
In my case batteries easily last more than 6 months.
Strange, mine is eating batteries like chocolate
Did you press “configure” on the device page when rejoining?
You are not the only one complaining from rapid battery discharge. The original post had repeated complains.
Some said it was for faulty units. Mine were bought at different times and have acceptable battery performance (still bad reporting).
I suggest you try a couple of things;
Rediscover the device and be sure you press configure rapidly once it is discovered (have the device page open before you start the discovery process).
Try discovering the device from the place you will use it, and not near the hub. (This sometimes works if your Zigbee network is strong and fast.)
just for info
Mine have always reported battery level wrongly, but their battery lasts months. I currently have three of them used on a daily basis.
This is strange, although some people find them quite unreliable.
The Symfonisk Sound Controller just does not stay paired with HE, even with adequate IKEA repeaters. I moved mine to a ConBee 2 on HA and it’s been fine. Battery is still going after 2 months, but drain is still much higher than most button devices.
When joined to HE it was dead in a week.
I have to found some solution ...
Or someone need secondhand IKEA devices ?
Good price
