IKEA TRÅDFRI - Wireless control outlet

Installation on the Homey:

We do not need a remote control to connect this adapter to the Homey. Because it uses the Zigbee protocol, it can be linked directly. The first step is to log in to the Homey. Then we go to the devices section and click on the plus sign.

After this we search for Ikea and click on Ikea TRÅDFRI and select the outlet plug. The APP will then be installed (if you don't have it yet). When all that is successful, you have to push a pin into the bottom of the plug. Then hold it for 10 seconds. When you release it, you will hear a click and the LED will flash. After this it took me at least 20 seconds until he was really found. So be patient.

After this I see it with my devices and can turn it on/off. The response time seems fine.

Example flow:

As I already mentioned in the intro, this intermediate plug can also be used in conjunction with your mood lighting. We are going to make these smart by combining them with motion detectors. We will use this as a trigger. Of course we also want the lights to turn on when it is dark. For this we use the "and" sunset card. Finally, we turn on the lamp.

AND:

Conclusion:

This intermediate plug works fine via the Homey even at somewhat greater distances. Have a little patience with adding it.
