Ikea tradfi motion sensore and two ikea tradfri lamps

Devices & Integrations
#1

hi to all, i’m a new user, altought i’m not even a user bynow, since i have to buy a v3 hub from uk (the hub is intended to be used in italy). the problerm i would like to solve is this one:

i have a path that is served by tow ikea tradfri lamps, with two motion sensors, because i come come into the path from the studio room or from the living room. So the question is: is it possible to pair two motion sensors to the same two ikea bulbs? using the “pure” ikea system i can manage 10 lmaps with one motion sensore, but i think i cannot manage one lamp with two motion sensors. Is there any solution to my issue?

smartlighting app will do that for you, you can tag multiple sesors, into one event

#3

which app do ypu refer to? do you mean the ikea tradfri app or another one?

I don’t think this is possible. You want either sensor to turn on 2 lights at the same time. The problem is with the Ikea sensors. They are built to pair with a lamp or lamps and I never managed to get them properly integrated with Smartthings. My advice would be to get different sensors if you’re committed to the Smartthings route.

yes beacuse if i go outside the bathroom i need the light to be switched on, if i come from the living room i need the light on aswell. do you think that philips hue sensors shopuld solve the problem? i could buy a couple of them. i would like to have a solution on smart things because in the next future i will buy two fibaro switched to remotely open/close two roof windows

I’ve got a mix of sensors. I have an Aeotec Tri sensor in the lounge, an Aeotec Multi sensor in the bathroom, a Fibaro motion sensor (the one that looks like an eye) in the hall, Hive motion sensors in the bedroom, kitchen and utility, and a Hive contact sensor on the toilet door. They range in price from about £30 to about £50. The Hive ones are about £30 and my gut feeling is that they react the fastest. The others are still quick. I’ve tried the others for other reasons - the bathroom for humidity, the lounge for lux.

The problem, I think, is that what might work perfectly for me won’t work perfectly for you. I think there are environment factors that come into play as well with a lot of this stuff.

I don’t know if this is too late, but you can pair two motion sensors together so either one will trigger the required result. Here is a youtube video on pairing them https://youtu.be/6oGRHbfJyh8. I would recommend you pair both lamps to the first sensor, then pair both sensors.
