ik verbind eerst alle nieuwe componenten met de ikea app zelf

daarna open ik homey en lees ik in 1 beweging alle nieuwe componenten in homey

Just as a side note, I am able to add the sensor to Apple HomeKit for some reason.
Isn’t that strange?

I understand what you’re saying @bart_ghysel since I’m Dutch too, but please use the English language in this part of the Community , so everybody can understand your reply :laughing:

You can use the QR code or de codes

Interesting, although yet to discover if I received a faulty or damaged in transit Homey Pro, but it took two days for me to connect a dozen or so IKEA devices, to the Homey Pro.

However, once obtained a matter capable Apple TV, it took twenty minutes!?

Think Homey has an issue?

This did the trick. update ikea app, then i went to ikea app and restarted it and immediatlky after 2 days of fighting i worked.

yep, that is how I do it: connect Matter devices to Homekit first and then share them to Homey. Added advantage is that you will get OTA updates via Apple Home every now and then.

I have 17 different Ikea Matter devices connected directly to my HP23. They work perfectly when pairing them. Just insert the battery or plug in the lamp and the devices automatically go into pairing mode, and Homey finds them immediately.

However, four Kajplats lamps broke within a period of five days. They were only about 1.5–2 months old. That was very strange, and it certainly makes you wonder about the build quality. But Ikea replaced them right away — excellent customer service.

Hi, i managed to pair 2x IKEA GRILLPLATS Smart Plug and 2x IKEA BILRESA 2 Button Remote directly to my Homey pro (V13.1.5).
Steps:

  1. Enable IP6 in your router
  2. Install the IKEA Home Smart app on your Homey Pro (This will give you instructions how to set the devices in pairing mode
  3. First install the GRILLPLATS Smart Plug(s) (That are also Thread Routers)
  4. Goto Add new equipment and select the GRILLPLATS Plug. Presss Install.
  5. In the next window (Matter) you can select “Connect with Homey” or “Connect via Android”. Select the “Connect via Android” method.
    Now you get a dialog on how to put it in pairing mode ((Keep ON/OFF switch pressed for 10 seconds)
  6. Keep your phone near the GRILLPLAT (Detection is done via Bluetooth)
  7. Scan the Matter QR-code of the device.
  8. The device will be added and you can select the location of the device.

After the pairing is done most of my zones didn’t show anymore, but this is fixed after re-starting the Homey app.

Hopes this will help some people.
