I have the same problem, Xiaomi sensor dropping off, too far away.
Now I have a Tradfri GU10 from €6,95/$8,99 as a repeater. I have the bulb turned off, only working as a repeater and the Xiaomi stays online.

I have a 10W driver and like you pairing was a nightmare. In my case I was also trying to pair with a 5-button controller too. I thought I described the sequence somewhere in this thread or maybe a related one, as I have no forgotten.
Persevere, it does work eventually.
I may have been lucky but my 10W driver paired first try. Cant remember any special procedure either.
Hi!
I’m new to SmartThings. I’ve seen that IKEA will release a smart plug soon. Do you think it will be supported in SmartThings?
These are already sold in IKEA Denmark - i saw them on the shelves last week… Think the where sold for around 14$… Very interesting…!
Have anyone tried to pair one these…?
Hello all,
I have just released an updated version of the device handler for the Ikea Tradfri dimmer puck and I’m looking for people to try it out. For me and some others it always worked fine but for some people their dimmer was not recognised, probably something changed in the device in a later version.
Anyway, please give it a try and let me know how you get on:
I use this together with the SmartLighting app to dim multiple bulbs.
Thanks,
Kris
Thanks for the tip…! 
I have four Trådfri E14 400lm and now two of them has lost the connection to Smartthings. Have tried to pair them again (with the six click) several times but it does not work. Any suggestions?
Just keep trying. they can be a complete pain.
Is it the golf ball type or the candle type bulbs? because Ikea appear to have discontinued the candle bulbs and when I last tried to buy some the assistant told me they were having some serious QC issues which was why they had no stock… could actually be an issue with the bulbs…
It is the ball type (very big golf balls
). Have not had any trouble pairing before but these two that has been paired before is not working. Is there any other way to reset them?
Not that I know of, although, if you have a spare dimmer it would possibly help you to pair it directly with the bulbs and dim them right down. That makes it easier to see when they reset into pairing mode as they will brighten up again. I’ve found the most awkward thing about using Tradfri bulbs is definitely the reset process, and without dimming them first it’s very difficult to tell if they have actually reset.
How did you get it to pairing mode? Live logging doesn’t show any new device network id and the app doesn’t add.
Dumb question, just reset the damn thing by needling the reset button.
Just pressed button 3 times and in parallel started device discovery.
Same here. Shows battery
- that’s nice. By Reading the code I see that it should send messages to log, atleast.
Does anyone know if there has been released a firmware update to the bulbs?
I kind of hope that they have changed the lowest level (1%) brightness …
My firmware versions is: 0x12217572 for all my different kind of bulbs…:
TRADFRI bulb E27 W opal 1000lm
TRADFRI bulb E27 WS clear 950lm
TRADFRI bulb E27 WS opal 980lm
TRADFRI bulb E14 WS opal 400lm
@tridas , did you ever get this to work? The device handler that others use seems to work fine in the classic app, but now that I’ve completely reinstalled my network and am using only the new app, I cannot seem to operate the 600lm IKEA color bulb.
I had previously also used another device handler for the regular dimming lights, but those also never worked with the new app. Selecting the ZLL Dimming Bulb did the trick for those. Now to get my color lamps working…
And also for anyone else reading this, have you managed to get the TRADFRI bulb E27 CWS opal 600lm bulb (the color one) to work with the new app? Using the custom device handler (v1.1 I think, the latest, from a year ago) works fine in the classic app, but in the new app, the light cannot even be turned on or off. It just says that it cannot connect to the device…
I don’t know if this is the right place to post this or not, but I’m trying to work out what devices we have device handlers for so far.
For the wireless dimmer:

we have this:
Device handler on post 64
For the Remote Control (5 button):

we have this thread:
but no working DH and some confusion about what the thread is for…
For the bulb E27 600 lumen (Colour and white spectrum grey/white)

we have this thread:
With the DH in post 1.
The standard dimmable and colour temperature changeable bulbs work with the standard device handlers (well, they do for me at least… anyone else had problems?)
ZLL Dimmer Bulb and ZigBee White Color Temperature Bulb respectively.
Any other devices with a working handler that i’ve missed? or any updates on what i’ve included in this post?
