I went and grabbed one of each Bilresa units to fiddle around. Pairing was quite slow (first time with Thread for me), but after that I was pleased to find a load of flow cards for the buttons. The names not quite descriptive, but manageable by trial and error. It even sent a long press before release and the release itself as separate events – so basically a door opener for dimming by long press. However the events fired unreliably, also the button froze at one point and I had to restart it. So I decided to **restart the Ikea app** and now **all cards are gone** except the ones for battery status which are utterly useless on their own. Has anybody here experienced this? Which flow cards do you have available? ---

OK never mind. I removed the device and included it again – this time as a generic Matter device. All cards are back – let’s see for how long … 😅 ---

I had the same issues, and hope that a fix is on its way! Can’t wait for Homey to support OTA updates cause the new IKEA line-up really needs some fix.. ---

Oh yes, I do hope that will be possible with Matter devices. As much as I love my Homey, not being able to update device firmware without going through the tremendous hassle of removing the device from Homey and having to own the proprietary bridge is my biggest gripe. My Bilresa ist still up and running now though. And I got dimming by turning the dial implemented easily. It’s not an instant experience as with a conventional dimmer, as it treats every notch of the dial as a single event, but better than nothing. And there’s a lot to like about the device: form factor, AAA batteries and the price of course. The dial could use a little more grip. ---

This button sometimes falls asleep. Removing and reinserting the batteries fixes it. Hoping that Homey introduces OTA fw updates soon. ---

Was somewhat puzzled as well, but with something like this you can make a variable shrink or grow. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/6/9/6937cd85f468df97bb7f3c1cb36dee3aeb09c842.png) And thus use this for dimming. ---

I did it pretty bare bones as you can see. Every notch triggers a relative dim and pushing the dial toggles the light on and off. I went with single clicks though, because the multiple notches seemed a bit hit and miss. Retraining muscle memory to gently scroll the wheel notch by notch instead of trying to perform multiple turns as on a legacy dimmer is no big deal though. If the wording of the actions in the flow wasn’t as utterly confusing building this would obviously take less than a minute. ![Bildschirmfoto 2026-01-22 um 16.56.15](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/d/4/d4464c2eab3680c6713ff62ce3c17b3ce0a88071.png) ---

Only thing missing in Homey: set relative color temperature as is possible with the dimming. Could that be done with Better Logic Library @Lacobo ? ---

Has anyone managed to get these working properly? Everytime I restart my Homey, the buttons no longer have the actions for flows. When that happens I need to repair it. I tried using generic matter device, but it just goes back to an ikea device. For now this seems very unstable and not really usable. ---

I noticed that when buttons and flow cards are gone or the device becomes unresponsive one can try to interview and then update the devices in the matter node via developer tools ---

If you share the ikea matter devices to an iphone Home app, IOS will automatically update it to the latest firmware. ---

Me too. After the purchase, I tried the device by adding it to my home and creating a test flow, and I saw that there were many options such as double press, scrolling, etc. Today I wanted to set it up to control my LEDs, but to my surprise the “When” cards had disappeared. I can only see flows related to battery status. Where did the rest of the flows go? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/2/2/2264ac0425118d61c329c19c2334c660edf895d0.png) ---

The slippery scrollwheel cam be fixed with a tiny, cheap silicone button attached to the wheel. I had some 6 mm wide, attached one and it was quite a difference. ---

> [@Victoryus](#): > > Where did the rest of the flows go? I was wondering the same thing. I do not have one yet and was planning to get a few, but then I noticed on the Homey IKEA app page that there is only one card listed for it: “The battery level has changed.” Can anyone with the Bilresa Scroll Wheel confirm whether it works or not and which cards are actually available? I read through this entire thread and the information is conflicting and confusing. ---

If I add/repair the device, it works. But after Homey restart (or power loss, etc), I can only see the battery status flows, and it stops working until repair. ---

Is there a list of cards that are supported when it works? Strange that the offical app lists only one card, the battery one? ---

It is a bug In first add, you will se every card and those works perfectly, but after a restart (ot something else also mayba) all of cards will missing, except the battery hope they will resolve this problem soon [Previous page](https://community.homey.app/t/ikea-bilresa-scroll-wheel-on-matter/147199.md?page=1) [Next page](https://community.homey.app/t/ikea-bilresa-scroll-wheel-on-matter/147199.md?page=3)
