hey guys,
Does anybody know how to connect the Ikea Kajplats E14 (white spectrum + color) bulb to my homey pro (2023)?
I’ve been trying with 2 bulbs through matter but both the ‘general matter connecting method’ and through the ‘ikea app connecting merhod’ Homey doesn’t find the bulbs. I can connect them through zigbee but them i can’t control the color, only the brightness. I tried resetting them several times and also switching from matter to zigbee and back. But it all doesnt help… Hope to get some help!
Thanks
Not sure which one of the general method you’ve tried, because there are multiple connecting methods:

.
From what I’ve read, the new Ikea Matter+zigbee smart devices only have zigbee onboard to control them directly with the Ikea remote switches / dimmers.
It sounds “logical” the color can’t be controlled anylonger with the generic Homey zigbee driver.
When you used the Ikea app, all functions should work, but that’s an assumption
Contact the app developer, Athom, per homey.app/support
