Smart bedside light

It's got some weirdness when paired to the hub. Double events that drove Mike crazy. A workaround was hopefully found to see if we can get a working driver. In the meantime I paired it successfully to the hue bridge and then touchlinked to my bedside bulb. Working great for turning on the lamp and dimming it. It's pretty smooth dimming as well, but a little janky when changing direction.

I paired via "add device" in habitat. I recognizes but no driver of course. How did you pair it to the "hue bridge"? Via Hue app or Habitat? In the hue app, what device are selecting to "add"?

Check my post here, it links to a YouTube vid on how to touchlink Ikea stuff. I used Hue Essentials app on Android.

I'm busy planning a similar thing. Got bedside lamps with Hue bulbs and I'm going to add Xiaomi buttons to control. They're cheap and have 4 different triggers (click, double click, hold and shake) for the new model (no shake for the old). That way I'm planning on having:

  • click - on/off
  • double click - all bedroom lights on/off
  • hold - lowest dim. We only usually have the bulbs max or low if someone is sleeping.
  • shake - nothing as they will be stuck down :stuck_out_tongue:

There is a workaround driver to get the Sonos remote paired and working. Tested it with a rule machine button controller rule and it worked well.
