[RELEASE] IKEA Zigbee drivers

Nice one. On point three in the instructions you mention this:

If you don't see an "Update Firmware" command in the device details page, change the driver to "Device".

Anything snazzy need to be done in a driver to add that "Update Firmware" command? Just to avoid the need for users to switch driver, I could add it in next time I'm tinkering.

Implement a custom hubitat command that just sends this zigbee command: zigbee.updateFirmware()

See example here.

That's much more straightforward than I'd imagined, thanks!

I tried updating it using that method but kept getting the same "make sure it is compatible with OTA updates" error. Will try again later and update!

Released bugfix version 4.1.1 with the following small change:

Fixed

This version fixes a problem introduced in v4.0.0 that manifests when pairing the Vallhorn Motion Sensor (E2134) and the Symfonisk Sound Remote Gen2 (E2123). After upgrading to v4.1.1, you need to re-pair the affected devices.

There is no need to upgrade to v4.1.1 if your devices are already paired and work fine.

Have fun!

Good evening @dandanache. Thank you for all these drivers allowing you to use Ikea products. I really appreciate. I have a quick question about the IKEA Starkvind Air Purifier (E2006). There is a “Dark mode” function. However, it is not possible to create a rule to activate this mode during the night to keep the room in the dark. Is it possible that this feature can be turned on or off with a rule? Thanks in advance for the response!

Thanks very much for the update. I'll swap over to the new versions soon.

I'm wondering on the known issue for the Styrbar Remote Control where the hold and release events don't work properly. Is it possible to get that fixed? Is it an issue with the driver or something odd that the device does?
Getting the hold and release working would effectively add 2 more actions that could be triggered with the remote and make it more useful being able to effectively have an 8 button remote

When you press and hold one of the Left/Right buttons on the Styrbar, I takes about 2 seconds for the driver to figure out that you want to "hold", no way around this. If you assign the startLevelChange command to the hold event, you must keep it pressed even longer until the desired brightness is achieved.

The 2 seconds lag makes it unusable in my opinion (read as: the wife might start throwing things in my general direction :slight_smile:). That's why I didn't bother to implement the hack for it.

The Symfonisk Sound Remote Gen2 has about the same form factor as the Styrbar but 3 more buttons. Plus, the shortcut buttons support push, double-tap and held/release. Note that the up/down buttons only produce "held" events (every 300ms), but does not support "release".

In our bedroom we each use one of the Symfonisk Sound Remote Gen2 (E2123) to control music (same Sonos radio stream with country music that somehow calms us and makes us sleepy :sleeping:), the ceiling light, and the 2 reading lights above the bed:

Is this fix in the new release as well?

Does this mean only devices that were paired using v4.0.0 need to be re-paired, or do all Vallhorns (in my case) need to be re-paired?

Fixed now in 4.1.2 :slight_smile:

You'll know when you need to re-pair. Vallhorn does not report motion if paired with 4.0.0. For the Symfonisk Remote Gen2, the shortcut buttons do not work if paired with 4.0.0. If this happens with any of your devices, please upgrade and re-pair them.

Hello, I just installed "Knycklan" dishwasher valve and leakage control from IKEA but I can't find any suitable driver for the remote button that came with it.
The button type is E1841, Knycklan Open/Close Remote.
The valve (E1842) itself seems to work fine with a generic driver.

Any plan to include this in your fantastic Ikea package? Or any other suggestions?

I like those, It's a shame that they sell them only in Sweden (and probably Norway).

You can try setting the driver to "Tradfri On/Off Switch (E1743)", then re-pairing the remote. I believe it should work.

Yea, but it does not include support for the connected water leakage sensor.

I am willing to add 2 drivers (one for the remote and one for the valve), but I will need your help in order to do that.

I believe this will require to move this feature from the Preferences section up to the Commands section. I'll see what I can do.

Thanks! I got it working when repairing.

Great work on these drivers.

I have a newer version of the LED driver that's supported with these drivers, purchased a few days ago. It is no longer named "Silverglans". The new product name is "TRADFRI Driver 30W". The physical appearance is identical, but it includes a dimmer function. The dimmer is not available in the current Hubitat drivers.

The IKEA product code is 603.426.56, which is actually listed as a product code for the Silverglans in these community drivers. I think's that's incorrect. This IKEA code is used for the updated LED driver with dimmer function.

Is there a chance the dimmer function could be added if I supply the necessary information here? If yes, what is needed?

In the device registered I can collect the following:

  • firmwareMT: 117C-4109-00010002
  • manufacturer: IKEA of Sweden
  • model: TRADFRI Driver 30W
  • softwareBuild: 00010002

Thanks :slight_smile:

These are great products, I have 3 of them working without problems. They should work with the "IKEA Tradfri LED Driver (ICPSHC24)" driver. Unless I messed up something, you should be able to control the level (dimmer) for the attached lights.

If you isntalled the HPM package but did not select this driver, use the "Modify" option in HPM to add it later:

Wow!

You nailed it. Thank you :smiley: Works smoothly now. I had indeed not installed the driver correctly, so Hubitat used a built-in driver, which didn't support the dimmer. So error code 40 (error was 40 cm. away from monitor).

Which drivers are best for IKEA Trådfri CT bulbs? I am using the "Generic Zigbee CT Bulb (dev)" because of issues with the "Advanced Zigbee CT Bulb" driver. It would occasionally make the bulb unresponsive until a power cut. Or make the bulb flicker at brightness above 86.

What's the best-practice recommended driver for IKEA bulbs?

My specific model is "TRADFRI bulb E27 WS globe 1055lm" but I am assuming the same driver should work for all CT bulbs...

I am working right now on 3 new drivers for the bulbs (actually just 2, since the LED driver you now use can handle all dimmable bulbs). The code is done and tested with the 3 bulbs I have (2 CT and 1 RGB).

@UncleAlias is super helpful with tests against his impressive bulbs collection; he is afterall, The Lord Of The Bulbs :+1:

So please wait for the 5.0.0 release.
