Does anyone else have problems turning Ikea lights off with the Homey app? If I use the imported group I can turn the lights on and off but when I use a imported light I can only turn it on but not off. I can dim the device to 0% to turn it off but not just turn it off by pressing the card in the app. This also affects the function such as turning all devices off i a specific zone. If I don’t put the Ikea group in the zone the lights wont turn off. Have any of you experienced the same problem? ---

Works fine for me. Try power cycling the hub or Homey. ---

PTP of the Ikea gateway did the trick! Thanks! ---

I’ve noticed that it needs a power cycle every few weeks or so. Less than Homey, but still annoying 😜 ---

I thought I was the only one. Using a smart plug now to do this once in a while, of course not an Ikea type 😏 ---

Done! Set up a flow that cuts the power for my Ikea Gateway every Sunday for 60 seconds. πŸ‘πŸ» ---

Don’t forget to restart the Ikea gateway app also afterwards! ---

I have run in to some more related problems, the solution above makes my gateway connection to fail, to make it work again I have to edit the configurations again and type in the gateways security code and save. Anyone familiar with this problem? ---

It sounds like the IP-address of the gateway changes every time you reboot it, in which case you need to make sure it gets the same IP-address from your router. Also, it may be necessary to restart the IKEA app after you restarted the gateway. ---

I have set up a IP-address to the Ikea gateway in my ASUS Lyra, I’ll try to restart it later and see if it works. Thanks for the support Mr Klep! πŸ‘πŸ€˜
