IKEA Trådfri

Devices & Integrations
201

It’s “authorized” by the hub when you pair it as a “Thing”, but currently cannot influence other devices paired with hub. This may be possible in the future if a Device Handler is written specifically for the IKEA Trådfri motion sensor, but I can tell you that the IKEA Gateway (hub) currently handles the motion sensor in exactly the same way.

At this time it only controls the bulbs it is paired with. It can be paired with multiple bulbs, as long as it is paired with the SmartThings hub before pairing it with any bulb. If you don’t pair with the hub first, each successive bulb will just “steal” an exclusive pairing with the motion sensor.

So in order to use the IKEA Trådfri motion sensor with the SmartThings hub, the simplified steps are:

  1. Pair the bulbs you want the IKEA Trådfri motion sensor to control with the SmartThings hub (any zigbee bulb SmartThings can control should work).
  2. Pair the IKEA Trådfri motion sensor itself with the Smartthings hub
  3. Pair the IKEA Trådfri motion sensor with each of the bulbs you want it to control
