How to connect ikea smart light bulb and STYRBAR remote control to smartthings

[Richard_Li]

HI there,

I got both ikea smart light bulb and STYRBAR remote control, bought separately, so require to pair them manually. I know that they can be paired without SmartThings or a hub. However, I would like the bulb to be controlled by SmartThings and STYRBAR. I found that if I pair the bulb with SmartThings first, I will lose SmartThings control after pairing with STYRBAR. If pairing STYRBAR and bulb first, then pair with SmartThings, the right and left bots won’t work (can not change colours). any idea?

You can try this @lmullineux driver

@lmullineux

The remotes currently supported by the driver are

• Ikea on/off 2 button (tested and working by @lmullineux )
• Ikea open/close 2 button (un tested - presumed working)
• Ikea 5 button remote control (tested and working by @lmullineux)
• EcoSmart Remote Control 4 button (Tested not working by @milandjurovic71 )
• Added: Ikea Styrbar (Tested writing - by @lmullineux)

Thanks, I’ve tried @mullineux’s driver. The left and right channels still aren’t working. Also, the battery level display is inaccurate; it always shows 100% even after removing the batteries.

I don’t think removing the batteries is a very good way of testing ‘battery level’. How would an offline (unpowered) device send battery information to the SmartThings hub?
