Hi Guys, I have a problem with Ikea tradfri outlets. I initially got about 20 of them as well as two repeaters to help fix my Aqara sensor problem, but it has not worked over the last year or so. Essentially, I had 1 outlet in each room within 5-10 feet of any Aqara sensor. The problem was that the…

Wow, you went full in on the TRÅDFRI/Xiaomi combo. Most Xiaomi sensors eventually fell off my network too. What seemed like a sure thing in the beginning turned out to be a royal PIA for me too. I know some owners like @gavincampbell had good success in the beginning, but I have not read anything ab…

I have 5 of the Tradfri control outlets. Have not had any fall off in the 5 months I have owned them. I do not use Xiaomi Devices. 4 of them are using the Tradfri Control Outlet built in driver. The 5th I realized I missed changing the driver and it is still running the built in Generic Zigbee O…

[image] SmartHomePrimer: I’m getting almost instant response from mine using @dan.t ‘s MakerAPI version of the Homebridge I’ll second that. @dan.t ‘s makerapi and HubConnect versions are based on @tonesto7 ’s version and tonesto only has been updating the SmartThings version. I’ve used all 3 a…

That makes sense. I just got a new pi, so I will try the @dan.t 's MakerAPI. I have way too many other things on the other pis and don't want to mess them up:) Thanks

I had 2 tradfri plugs, both of which are back at the Ikea store. thank God for the 1 year return policy. Mine kept falling off too. Others here report no issues. I hated them, no manual switch and calls from the wife "light is NOT on/off" got the tradfri signal repeaters , they are solid. Not very…

[image] SmartHomePrimer: I know some owners like @gavincampbell had good success in the beginning, but I have not read anything about how it’s going for him now. You don’t hear much from me because my system is working great. It did take me a while though to get my xiaomi devices to be this r…

I agree that the repeaters are more reliable than the outlets, but both mine consistently fall off every month or so.

Thank you. That was very helpful. I think not being a network engineer or having any computer science background, I have reached my limit of diagnostic work for now. I'm going to wait for the aqara hubs.

I've moved the basement to the aqara hub with @dan.t makerAPI. They're much more snappy and have not fallen off. I'll wait for the other 2 aqara hubs to arrive for the rest of the house. Thank you for your insights.

I'm having the same issue as yourself. Most of my Xiaomi contacts and motion sensors are now off, they routed through Ikea stuff, but then when the Ikea plugs dropped, so did Xiaomi. And despite having 3 Xbee 3's they never did re-route. Thankfully nearly all my end devices are now routing through t…
