these newer ikea smart devices require the specific type of batteries noted on their product page as they wont work properly giving false positives.
battery life still an issue. i haven’t been bothered to log a support ticket yet with athom yet as i dont have the time to do any ongoing troubleshooting which is suspect they will ask. from what i’ve read it appears to be the tradfri app on homey as some users have tried the ikea hub and had no issues.
i’ve still got a few parasolls sitting in a box collecting dust. too late to return and get a refund as i’ve had it for a while. just glad they werent expensive.
if anyone does log a support before me i hope they fix this via an update. i’m hoping its not a firmware issue as that will be very annoying that i’ll have to buy an ikea hub to do an update.
i even thought about buying an ikea hub if there is a firmware update for the parasoll.
