Excellent

Just a comment after using for a couple of weeks. The Alpstuga sensor responds very quickly and is quite accurate but doesn’t seem to show correctly the tile Air Quality Level. I think this is an IKEA bug as my PM2.5 virtual Air Quality sensor does display the correct level.

The airQualityHealthConcern.supportedAirQualityValues has only three states: “unknown”, “good” and “unhealthy”. It’s going to take a while to figure out how it’s populated, how the airQualityHealthConcern is calculated and the threshold between “good” and “unhealthy”.

I’ll have a look at it later today.

Supported values:

{
    "name": "Air Quality Health Concern",
    "status": "live",
    "attributes": {
        "airQualityHealthConcern": {
            "schema": {
                "type": "object",
                "additionalProperties": false,
                "properties": {
                    "value": {
                        "title": "AirQualityHealthConcern",
                        "type": "string",
                        "enum": [
                            "unknown",
                            "good",
                            "moderate",
                            "slightlyUnhealthy",
                            "unhealthy",
                            "veryUnhealthy",
                            "hazardous"
                        ]
                    }
                },
                "required": [
                    "value"
                ]
            }
        },
        "supportedAirQualityValues": {
            "schema": {
                "type": "object",
                "additionalProperties": false,
                "properties": {
                    "value": {
                        "type": "array",
                        "items": {
                            "title": "AirQualityHealthConcern",
                            "type": "string",
                            "enum": [
                                "unknown",
                                "good",
                                "moderate",
                                "slightlyUnhealthy",
                                "unhealthy",
                                "veryUnhealthy",
                                "hazardous"
                            ]
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    },
    "commands": {
        
    },
    "id": "airQualityHealthConcern",
    "version": 1
}

Now we have to find out why only three values are supported by the device…

Johnnybegoode · January 8, 2026, 9:47am

This might give a clue as to why my Sonoff virtual sensor which comes across in Matter, shown here functioning correctly, will not map correctly for all states.
Would seem more logical 3 active states as per IKEA’s green, ambar and red?
Going off- thread here but if you’re interested you can see the problems in Matter implementacion of air quality on the Sonoff iHost thread here

New IKEA matter over thread light announced

Peter-M · January 8, 2026, 4:37pm

Quick update after trying some more of the new IKEA Matter stuff:

KAJPLATS bulb, E14 tunable-white version - works, dimming and full color range 2200-6500 available from SmartThings, acts as Thread forwarder.
MYGGSPRAY motion and light sensor - see above, works well with good reaction time. Ambient brightness sensor reports very low values, not sure about that one as yet.
KLIPPBOK water leak sensor - works, hooks into Home Monitoring, low trigger threshold (finger on contacts triggers it).
BILRESA two-button remote - works; both buttons support single, double, triple press plus hold.
BILRESA rotary dial remote - not fully supported. Reports as three button instances (the rotary acting as pushbutton, pushing below the three LEDs switches between 1-2-3). Rotary dial not represented. [An announcement from CES today has it that this will be added very soon.]

In only slightly related news, the dual button BILRESA also is the very first momentary (stateless) button that I’ve ever seen work directly on an Alexa Echo. Only single-press supported on either button, but it’s a start.

The water leak sensor pulled a firmware update straight out of the box, the others did not.

Here endeth my report.

regards,
Peter

I want to try that one, the 1521 lm one was disappointing with green-ish cool whites and strange orange-ish warm temperatures. Are the colour temperatures other than 2700 K easy on the eyes?

You can use the scroll wheel rotation with my custom driver and automate it in multiple ways as well as expose more events and add more features for both BILRESA models.

They added support for Matter buttons recently, Google Home still does not support them though.

Peter-M · January 8, 2026, 5:36pm

On the bulb - 2700 looks pretty identical to the Hue 1100 white in the other lamp. Yes 6500 is stone cold but doesn’t look greenish to me. 2200 is very orange as it’s supposed to be, pretty much in line with the LEDVANCE Sun@Home ceiling lamp in the same room.

The rotary BILRESA is back in the box until official support comes through. Thanks for the pioneering work though!

Echo - did not support stateless buttons of any kind besides the long defunct Echo Button. Zigbee buttons (e.g. Sonoff) detected as a “switch” and didn’t work at all. The Matter button reports as a “remote” and actually does work. This fills a big gap in the Alexa/Echo system (albeit poorly).

Johnnybegoode · January 8, 2026, 7:51pm

Exactly, the Alpstuga shows these options for a routine

while my Matter virtual sensor shows these - although I can’t use them!

Andreas_Roedl · January 8, 2026, 8:05pm

I don’t know what that is, but I’m guessing you created it on the “iHost” platform? A virtual device can support whatever the developer wants, of course. I could just as well build a virtual air-quality Edge driver that reports completely made-up supported values.

It would be easy to figure out what’s going on if we had the logcat output from when the device is added. Matter drivers usually probe the device to populate the list of supported values. The problem is that I don’t want to delete my devices, because I’m collecting long-term air-quality data.

I’ll read through the code later today, though.

From a first look:

It starts with a baseline set:

unknown, good, unhealthy

Then it adds more enum values only if the device reports the corresponding Matter feature bit:

If the Air Quality cluster supports FAIR → add moderate
If it supports MODERATE → add slightlyUnhealthy
If it supports VERY_POOR → add veryUnhealthy
If it supports EXTREMELY_POOR → add hazardous

So the supported-values list gets “richer” only when the underlying cluster says those extra levels are meaningful for that device.

                      return true
                    end
                  end
              end
            end
            return false
          end
          
          local function get_supported_health_concern_values_for_air_quality(device)
            local health_concern_datatype = capabilities.airQualityHealthConcern.airQualityHealthConcern
            local supported_values = {health_concern_datatype.unknown.NAME, health_concern_datatype.good.NAME, health_concern_datatype.unhealthy.NAME}
            if #embedded_cluster_utils.get_endpoints(device, clusters.AirQuality.ID, { feature_bitmap = clusters.AirQuality.types.Feature.FAIR }) > 0 then
              table.insert(supported_values, health_concern_datatype.moderate.NAME)
            end
            if #embedded_cluster_utils.get_endpoints(device, clusters.AirQuality.ID, { feature_bitmap = clusters.AirQuality.types.Feature.MODERATE }) > 0 then
              table.insert(supported_values, health_concern_datatype.slightlyUnhealthy.NAME)
            end
            if #embedded_cluster_utils.get_endpoints(device, clusters.AirQuality.ID, { feature_bitmap = clusters.AirQuality.types.Feature.VERY_POOR }) > 0 then
              table.insert(supported_values, health_concern_datatype.veryUnhealthy.NAME)
            end
            if #embedded_cluster_utils.get_endpoints(device, clusters.AirQuality.ID, { feature_bitmap = clusters.AirQuality.types.Feature.EXTREMELY_POOR }) > 0 then

This means that the device doesn’t “report” these values in the feature map. Interestingly, I have seen the value “unhealthy” reported in the event history before.

Klippbok firmware update.
Any tips on getting this to actually complete.
SmartThings keeps prompting me to update , I click the update butting and the device card suggests it’s “updating…” but it never seems to complete and then prompts again later. I tried placing the sensor within 1 metre of the hub, no difference

Andreas_Roedl · January 9, 2026, 1:49pm

Now show me yours!

Declankh · January 9, 2026, 1:55pm

I’ve been attempting updated via the app, because it keeps prompting there. Will try AWA too when latest attempt finishes

Andreas_Roedl · January 9, 2026, 1:57pm

Wake the device up, right before you start the firmware update. Yes, that means to trigger the sensor… Edit: or remove the batteries for a few seconds.

Declankh · January 9, 2026, 2:43pm

Tried triggering Device to wake it up, also batteries out and back in, no joy.

Andreas_Roedl · January 9, 2026, 2:54pm

Since the firmware is temporarily stored on the hub before the device downloads it, I’d reboot the hub. Who knows if it’s stored in the /tmp partition…

Declankh · January 9, 2026, 5:03pm

Rebooted and the update applied itself after the reboot.
I’m noticing I am needing to reboot a lot these days to add new devices or for update firmware
