Released version 3.7.1 with the following small change:

Added

  • Add "Start Zigbee Pairing" command on all devices with Zigbee routing capability

Instructions for pairing a new IKEA device using the new "Start Zigbee Pairing" command

  1. You need to have at least one mains-powered IKEA Zigbee device (one of: E1603, E1836, E2006, ICPSHC24). On the device details page, you can find the new "Start Zigbee Pairing" command (don't click it just yet!)

    See screenshot

    start_zigbee_pairing

  2. Go, as usual, to "Devices" -> "Add Device" -> "Zigbee" -> "Start Zigbee pairing"

  3. Now is the moment to click the "Start Zigbee Pairing" button from Step 1 with parameter "0000" (address of the Hubitat Hub).

    Technical details

    This action broadcasts the "stop pairing" command to all devices in the mesh, waits for 5 seconds, then sends the "start pairing" command only to the specified device.

  4. Wait for 5 seconds (also check the Live Logs for instructions)

  5. Put the device you want to join in the pairing mode; for IKEA devices this usually means pushing the pairing button (:link:) 4 times in 5 seconds.

  6. The device will now join the Zigbee network by talking directly to the Hubitat Hub, no need to keep the device really close to the Hub anymore.

  7. Profit!

Have fun!
