I have a set of Zigbee GU10 bulbs at home. I control them with an IKEA Zigbee switch. It works great. Except…
Homey does detect when I turn the light on using the switch. The tile in the app turns white instead of light grey. However, it then shows the wrong color in the app (red, while the bulbs are actually shining white). And when I turn the lights off with the switch, Homey doesn’t detect this and still thinks the lights are on.
How can I fix this?
Thanks for your help!
It’s mentioned before, not sure if it’s an app or Homey related bug:
.
That’s normal behaviour in case you cut the power with the switch: without power, a smart device can’t send it’s new status.
Smart lights shouldn’t be turned off by cutting the power. Use a detached mode switch, which just sends commands to Homey (or directly to the light if supported).
Use of a Homey flow to turn off the light.
As I mentioned in my Dutch post, it is not cut off power. The Ikea Styrbar switch has power (is battery driven) and I don’t touch the normal light switch.
So I’m still questioning how it happens…
I don’t see a Dutch post here?
If you actually double posted, please mention it right away.
In general double posting is not appreciated.
(it’s not nice to have people spend their time for you while the other post is already solved for instance)
@moderators
I posted it again in English because I realised thats the most used language Here and of perhaps more people can understand, help or if we find a solution also have bennefit from it.
So I hope you or somebody else can help me with the issue.
