Has anyone tried to get the Ikea Starkvind air purifier working on Hubitat? It pairs right away and shows up as Zigbee etc, but does not provide any actual integration. I can't turn it on or off or set the level. I can't get the readings on VOC or CO or whatever I normally would through the Ikea hub.
I guess it works nicely as an air purifier, but the whole point was integration.
The Type is the driver that the HE hub has identified as the best fit. Based on what you have posted and my own understanding, I think Device is what is assigned when the HE hub can't identify what the device is, in terms of devices it knows about.
I can't offer a lot more advice aside from my interpretation of what you are seeing, hopefully someone else can provide some options for you....
In terms of "what I meant"... This is what I was referring to from the Device Edit page:
Ok, feels like the HE hub has been able to establish communication with the device and received the basic info that you posted earlier from the logs, but it doesn't know what it is from the list of supported devices and drivers that are built-in. You may be able to find something built here on the Community or some integration via another platform that integrates with HE.
I haven't heard anything, and didn't progress on it myself. I wish it had, but it seems to be yet another zigbee device that I'll have to bridge through some other platform.
So, with a little testing, I found out how to have some minimal control over this device. If you set the type to Nue Zigbee Fan Controller, you will be able to set the fan speed to 1, 3, or 5. Clearly no Auto or air quality stats. For my immediate purposes, this will do as I intend to have to turn to 5 at night and when we are away and 1 when we are home. So, if that works for you, itโs possible to use it now and not purchase an IKEA hub.
Okay, this is exciting! Nice find! I tend to put it on high for a while, then back to auto when I'm done. I didn't really need the air quality stats feature, although that would be nice too.
I wonder if some driver wizard can see what is working here to actually add this to Hubitat native?
I recently got an air purifier table from IKEA (with the 10% December discount) and managed to put together a driver for it. You can find it, together with the other drivers for my IKEA toys, here:
