Ikea Dirigera thru HomeKit missing motion/door sensors?

Questions & Help
,
1

Added an Ikea Dirigera bridge (where all my devices/automation lives for the moment) to my ‘new’ Homey 2016 using HomeKit Controller v1.3.15 with the intension to use Homey as a more capable automation umbrella without having to re-pair devices

Environment: Homey 2016 → Ikea Dirigera → Zigbee things

Works

All Ikea Tradfri lamps + control outlets + light drivers and Sonoff humidity/temp sensors appeared and works as expected! Amazed how easy it was :smiley:

Fail/Missing

Missing Vallhorn + Tradfri motion sensor and Parasoll door/window sensors

Odd is that I still can see/add the “Battery” of these devices…

Troubleshooting

Adding a ‘battery’ unit in Homey gives correct information on the tile showing things like manufacturer, type, name, no other difference

Ikea Dirigera “Assessory JSON” detected in Homey contain (from what I can understand) a complete description of the missing sensors and their type

Added the “Ikea Tradfri App”, this made no difference to the detection of tradfri devices seen thru HomeKit

Question

Is there a setting I have missed that’s needed to see the full features of the missing sensors where I now only see the battery information?

If you use the HomeKit Controller app, that’s the only app that can/will handle device support. The IKEA app only works with IKEA Zigbee devices that are directly connected to Homey.

You should probably ask in the relevant app thread.

Thanks Robert for confirming this,
Mentioning the outcome of testing the “Ikea Tradfri App” was just to tick of an already tested action that made no difference.

New to the forum (got my first Homey unit yesterday… ) so I’m still trying to get my bearings in this forum. I’ll try to figure out how to move this to the “HomeKit Controller app” section :thinking:

Update: With Homey firmware v12.2.0 + HomeKit Controller App v1.3.18 (Test) all my Ikea sensors now works connected thru the Ikea Dirigera gateway :blush: - This is a good day!
