Anyone used Trådfri Remote or Dimmer?

I have 5 on HE working.

Sure did. Not the 5 button just to clarify. The little white or yellow one works perfectly. You can start zigbee pairing mode and insert the battery and it picks it up. It's best to use the tradfri dimmer puck driver mentioned in this thread. Otherwise it picks up as a generic dimmer.

Hello I am using 3 devices ->ikea 5 button<- on smartthing, Can I use it on hubitat?.

Thanks.

Hello, anyone get working new Tradfri on/off button?

Is is working with SmartThings like a charm!

Just picked up one of these with a bulb for $10 CAD. It works with the diver, but I see that the levels jump up and down when adjusting. Is there a way to stabilize the dimmer levels, or that’s just the nature of this device?

bertabcd1234 · November 1, 2019, 6:22pm

I'm pretty sure that's par for the course with these devices and one of the problems Mike noticed. Even on ST with the official DTH, it seems to be a bit "sensitive" too. You might be able to do a little math and discard some values based on whatever criteria, but I'm not sure how well that would work or what the best algorithm would be (is it as simple as discarding any value more than x away from the current value?).

SmartHomePrimer · November 1, 2019, 6:23pm

Thanks. Are there other creative uses you’ve heard of for the accelerometer?

bertabcd1234 · November 1, 2019, 6:26pm

No, but that got me thinking. These are so sensitive: has anyone used it for a "door knock" sensor or something? (I would say "laundry monitor," but I can't imagine the battery lasting that long...)

SmartHomePrimer · November 1, 2019, 6:32pm

Yeah I thought about the laundry too. You would have to convert to powered by an adapter for sure.

helene7t7 · November 3, 2019, 7:16pm

No. The five button remote does not work with Hubitat. There is no dev interest for that device to work here either.

akitamostodos · November 3, 2019, 7:41pm

Why no interest? It's a zigbee device cheap and works fine fine, I use it on smartthing.

Thanks.

How exactly do you use it on smartrhings? And what driver is it using?

SmartHomePrimer · November 3, 2019, 8:09pm

I'm talking about the puck dimmer. The one you have pictured does not work and I've seen no driver here or on ST.

But the puck isn't worth playing around with in my opinion. I couldn't pair the lightbulb I bought with my Hue bridge because its firmware is too old, and the puck is just a piece of crap. I'm returning them. Not even worth it for $10.

I messed around with using just the accelerometer, but it needs motion in a very specific way and then seems to sleep to the point where it had to be moved significantly to wake it up. Plus it chews through batteries. No sir. Not for me.

@mike.maxwell It looks like you can use the Ikea 5 button and the Ikea motion sensor directly with Smartthings. It looks they are able to use group messaging.

Hello, and the Ikea 5 button can be used on hubitat?

Thanks.

gdkramer · November 4, 2019, 2:35pm

NO !

It can be used on SMARTTHINGS.

helene7t7 · November 4, 2019, 2:57pm

You seem to have a smartthings hub. I know it isn't ideal but you can connect smartthings with the hub connect app. I don't have smartthings but maybe you could connect the 5 button that way?

akitamostodos · November 4, 2019, 3:53pm

Perhaps I can use it thought something but I want to substitute smartthing but hubitat....

akitamostodos · November 4, 2019, 3:58pm

Thanks, and on future will be able to use on hubitat?
