[APP][Pro] Innr Bridge (and WiFi)

Connect your Innr WiFi and Bridge-connected devices to Homey.

If any device you use is missing, please let me know.

Note: if you get any automated emails from Innr mentioning a Galaxy A51 (SM-A515F) smartphone has logged in to the account, this is completely normal. This Homey app pretends to be a Galaxy A51 to Innr’s servers, to prevent it from getting blocked.

Version 1.0.1

  • Added forum topic

Version 1.0.2

  • Fixed SVG

Version 1.0.3

  • Fixed SVG (again!)

I added the Innr bridge to my setup, and authenticated successfully with my account, but none of my Innr bulbs or RC250 wireless switches show up, it just says no new devices found. Does it only work for plugs?

Version 1.0.4

  • Added settings page for debugging

Hi,

I just published the new test version.

Please install it and go to the app settings page.

Retrieve the information there and click “Start capture” at your light or remote. Then, trigger everything on the device

  • Remote: single press all 5 buttons, long press each one, double press each one, triple press each one.
  • Light: trigger on/off, brightness, light temperature and color changes from within the Innr mobile app while the capture is on.

When you’ve finished all actions, click on “Stop capture” and then “Send”. Do this for each device that’s not yet supported.

Hi @smarthomesven
I have installed the test version, and will do as you’ve asked… but I haven’t migrated all my devices yet, just a couple for testing (I didn’t want to completely banjo my smart home until I had tested it ha ha)

The RC250, as far as I am aware, doesn’t do more than single press on each of its 5 buttons. And so far in the innr app I haven’t found how you assign different functions to the buttons, like you can in Homey… but that seems nuts, that the manufacturers own hub and app has less functionality than a third-party system :disappointed_face:

You can just use 1 light and 1 remote as well, preferably a color light. It’s not like 2 RC250 remotes sends completely different commands or something

I do realise that, but I also have LED strip lights (FL230C/05) up my stairs, and several different types of bulb (B22: BB287C & BB282C, E27: BB282C, GU10: RS242C, and their RCL231T fixture). As well as a number of their SP242 plugs, and a number of the RC250 remote buttons.

I think the lights all work the same way. Innr uses a generic platform/bridge (Arnoo) that even supports generic Zigbee devices from IKEA and other brands. So what I’ll need is the capture from a color light (doesn’t matter which one) and a capture from the RC250

Do you need the LED strip, and the tunable white RCL231T fixture (not RGB capable)?

Makes sense, their advertising on Amazon says they are compatible with Hue and other brands Zigbee, quite prominently too.

I need to pay IKEA a visit, and check out some of their smart home tech… from what I’ve heard the new Thread stuff is pretty much the cheapest about, and works pretty decent too. My Zigbee network is creaking at the seams with 90+ devices ha ha

Yes please. That would be useful as well

Just for my understanding:

  • Are you migrating INNR Zigbee devices, that are currently paired directly to your Homey, to the INNR hub? With the purpose of bringing them into Homey again bij linking the INNR hub to Homey?
  • Or are you migrating from another (non-Homey) platform?
  • And why would you not pair those INNR devices directly to Homey?

@SunBeech Yes, and because my Homey Pro is dying a death by a thousand cuts due to a large and growing number of Zigbee devices… and a serious lack of memory.

When I saw that there was an innr bridge app, and the innr bridge being cheap as chips (unlike a majority of ecosystems hubs) it would be an experiment to try that wouldn’t break the bank… to see if easing the load off my Homey Pro a bit made it more responsive and less prone to flaking out on running Flows when time or sensor triggers are triggered.

That sounds painful :smiling_face:!

Not sure how many INNR devices you have, but keep in mind that the INNR hub can handle up to 30 Zigbee devices. Though you can add a second hub for another 30 devices (separate Zigbee network).

That’s up to 30 less devices on my Homey’s Zigbee network… which would hopefully bring the number of Zigbee devices it has to manage back down to a more manageable number.

And I plan on upgrading the CM4 in my Homey Pro 2026 to one with more RAM and storage.

Between the two, it should hopefully make it work more smoothly again… cos at present it’s driving me crackers keep having to run Repairs on multiple devices a day, and frequently manually run Flows that don’t trigger when they are supposed to (so much so I have considered showing it a window a few times ha ha :rofl:)

You do know that Homey has many capabilities, but flying (and returning in one piece) is not one of them… :sweat_smile:?

How many Zigbee devices do you currently have connected to your Homey?

Currently 90, but I have a bunch more waiting to be set-up… but it doesn’t like me adding more.

All my house lights are Zigbee routers, and a good many plugs are too… so I’m not short on powered routers.

My other thought was to maybe get an Aqara hub, and offload a bunch of my sensor end devices… but that’s a big and more expensive thing, for just an experiment to see if it helps. Other options include Homey SHS with the link app, to offload a bunch of apps and devices. Or learning Home Assistant :grimacing: ha ha

:rofl::rofl::rofl:

That sounds like a lot indeed, though I currently have 74 connected to my Homey without many issues.

Are those permanently powered? So, e.g. not powered off by a physical light switch?
