What are you trying to pair with/what do you have available to pair with? You might end up needing to buy the Tradfri hub. If you have a Hue hub try putting the driver directly next to the hub and using Touchlink in the android app Hue Essentials. ---

I set the transformer up near ST and paired there. I’ve not had any luck pairing Tradfri devices any further away than a foot. It was recognized as a thing, so once paired I unplugged it, moved it to the kitchen and changed the device handler. I should add I just came home with a tradfri outlet that I cannot pair. This is new, as they’ve been pairable in the past, and there are a few folks with the same issue. Wondering if there’s been a firmware update on those. ---

Update: the outlet seems to be pairing now, I’ll test mine after breakfast. > [@IKEA tradfri outlet](https://community.smartthings.com/t/ikea-tradfri-outlet/136572/63): > > Sorry everyone, I just found this thread as I went about pairing my own Ikea outlet. There was a recent issue with joining certain devices that we fixed a few hours ago and that was likely what was causing the problems you had recently with pairing this device. ---

Just managed to pair the 30W led driver. Press reset button until it appears as a thing. My Trådfri devices have connected a couple of meters from the hub.
