So i bought Homey thinking it was an easier User friendly Solution. But when it comes to trying to get devices attached is just does not fit that description.
I have been trying to pair some Myygspray Sesors. Managed to do 4 sensors in 3 days… Even with the devices actually next or sat on top of the Homey Pro 2023 they do not connect. Surely it cannot be this hard to a simply sensor…
What am i missing? Please somone point me in the right dorection. I have read the community threads (no pun intended) but failing at each attempt…
I heard the Ikea devices were problematic… But this is crazy…
I could be corrected on this but im sure there have been ongoing issues with Ikea devices, certainly the newer ones. I dont know if this is over all platforms or just on homey.
Have you got the ikea app? have you got an Ikea hub Ive got all mine connected to an Ikea hub and then bridged over. They still drop off quote frequently unfortunately but its a quick refresh of the ikea hub and they are back.
Hopefully someone here has a better clue but im sure ive seen others have issues with these sensors.
Sorry that isnt a massive help but hopefully it means someone else has got a solution or one is on its way
Maybe not identical issue but my solution might still be valid:
In short:
I took my old phone, did a full factory reset, and only installed & configured Homey app.
By keeping all really close together (<50cm) the connection was possible via Homey.
It took a couple of tries but all the sudden it worked just fine and I was able to install & config MYGGSPRAY and GRILLPLATS!
I’ve only used some IKEA buttons and smart plugs years ago and they work fine. I’ve got 100+ devices and only had an issue with a single device, the simpl display which seems to only happen because I also have aqara devices and they don’t play nice together. My advice is to limit mixing brands and stick to the ones that work for your setup. I do not have any IKEA stuff in my home setup (only in the office). If IKEA isn’t working return it and try a different brand. There’s a lot of info on this forum so before buying you can probably already find out if certain devices are known troublemakers.
How do you Connect it? Through Homey or iOS? Have you connected it to another controller (Apple home m for example) first? Do you use the Ikea app? Do you have Homey on WiFi or Ethernet? If the first, try connecting it through Ethernet. This solves many matter/thread issues.
Homey is easier than others. Smart Home is more than its server. Your network setups (Ethernet/wifi, Zigbee, thread, …) play a big role, too. There’s not too much homey can do about it.
Try adding a TBR. After Installing a Google 4k streamer and adding is a device in Homey I could suddenly connect KLIPPBOK, MYGGBETT and BILRESA without any problems.
I did and I have. Still did not work. So as i said the i have an Aqara M200 (already had a Aqara D100) so linked that aswell. The M200 supports Matter. Then it worked no issue. So hopefully i have a stable robust Matter setup now.
On what network did Your IKEA devices connect?
When I did similar thing a while ago some devices ended up on “Homey Pro” network whilst some ended up on “Google-####” network.
