Hi there. How do I link an IKEA motion sensor to the HE? Is it better to link it up via HUE bridge? Thanks Kasper

I am not sure if the integration of Ikea Tradfri Motion Sensor with Hubitat is still an issue or not. I wrote a simple driver (based on code from others) to use the sensor to turn my lights off when inactive for a period of time. No Ikea hub is needed. code is here: BMX4605/Hubitat/blob/m…

Just bought one of these yesterday, got home and couldn't get it to show up in Hubitat :frowning: Is there a reason these can't be paired? I searched online a bit and it seems they use ZLL, which other devices supported by Hubitat use. There is a Zigbee library for RPi that can pair with them (de…

These only work with local link They will not be supported and there’s no way to make them work. If you do a search on the forum you’ll find that question has been asked quite a lot.

I looked briefly at that link. It appears they are using MQTT as a bridge. Not directly to the SmartThings hub. Why you would want to go to that kind of effort for those big ugly motion sensors is beyond my understanding. There are many compatible sensors that are much better and nicer looking. @mi…

I have not tried the motion sensor.

Really? Could have sworn you wrote that you had and it was a no go. Maybe I’m confusing it with the remote. OK. Fair enough. If you can work your magic, I suppose there is some interest. I still think they hideous though :wink:

[image] SmartHomePrimer: I still think they hideous though Another reason it's not on my list... I'm not a fan of Ikeas wireless devices to date... Sure, they are cheap, and this is reflected in their firmware.

Well, turns out the large furniture item I bought from Ikea was unsuitable, & it has to go back. So I'll take the motion sensor back too (wasn't going to head back there on a one hour round trip just to refund the cheap sensor!) The Ikea stuff is not only cheap, it's accessible; you can walk into a…

I have the same problem. I still hope that one day manufactures understand that there is more to life then the US :see_no_evil:. Because it's really hard to find HA stuff in other parts of the world. And I agree on the design of the Xiaomi sensors.

IKEA Trådfri Signal Repeater 💬 Lounge

My understanding is these are only capable of pairing with bulbs. Very simple. If you're looking for inexpensive, fast, small motion sensors with great battery life, the Xiaomi are something to consider. You can just buy some IKEA Trådfri Outlets or Repeaters, the Zigbee mesh strengthens, and the Xiaomi seem to be very stable. I have only dropped a Xiaomi leak sensor in the basement by the water main since November 2018 when the outlets were installed. The only thing you need to do is wait. Av…

The motion sensors don’t pair with the hub, but are designed to pair directly with the light bulbs and the outlet. So you could use them in that way to know when they have activated and thus control other things. However, if these outlets work reliably as inexpensive Xiaomi repeaters, the Xiaomi Aqara motion sensors are much smaller, faster, nicer looking, cost less, measure ambient light in lux that reports back to the hub ( not the simplistic react/don’t react approach of the IKEA motion sens…
