Is it possible to add an IKEA device to Homey using the button method used when adding it to the IKEA gateway? I have a transformer that’s really hard to get to, and plug/unplug 6 times doesn’t seem to reset it…

No, ise the instructions of the Homey pairing wizard.

But there is a reset pinhole on the driver you could try.

Thanks for replying. I was pretty sure the button method wouldn’t work, but I was hoping. Plugging and unplugging didn’t seem to help, and getting to the reset hole will take me a few hours (to get things looking good again)…
