Just bought a new e14 tunable white bulb and try to add it to my homey but it says that no app exists for the device and it is added as a standard zigbee device. I already have two of these lamps added so I’m not really sure what the problem is. Has Ikea updated their devices so the app is no longer working? ---

I have the same bulb and is facing the same problem. When I look at Ikea’s home page it says “new” on this particular lamp bulb. It works to turn the lamp on and off but color and brightness can not be adjusted. ---

I have the same issue… to use these 470lm Tuneable white E14 I have to use a HUE hub. Is there another solution or IKEA app update? ---

Looks like i have similar issues as described here. I have bought 7 Tradfri LED E14 Bulbs (IKEA part.no. LED19149C5), and I cannot get them properly paired with my Homey . I have followed the pairing procedure, as well as reset-before-paring method. Only once was I able to get it registered in Homey, but as a generic Zigbee device :-\ My questions are: A. What device should I select for this bulb: E14 dimmable, or E14 tuneable? (I would say tuneable, as the bulb supports both dimming and changing light temperature…?) B. Anyone has seen this issue before and has a solution for this? C. How can I check the version of the Tradfri app on my Homey? I use: - Homey 2016 on 7.2.1 - Ikea Tradfri app 1.14.3 Thanks for your help ! ![Homey - tradfri 2](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/c/6/c61869fd6948a7cb4f1121ab00cce56120d19e6c.jpeg) ![Homey - tradfri-3](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/e/3/e3a6974268c26a385e847886df92ff9d5522ea77.jpeg) ---

I had the same issue today. So it seems to exist already a long time by looking at the first post date and no real solution has been found. I can control the bulb (on/off/dimming) but it’s annoying when you want to command al the lights in a room since these devices are not seen as lights. Woud be nice to have a solution. Now doing some additional flow steps to get the desired result. Cheers Sander ---

Then set it as a light, it should work. ![IMG_3817](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/c/d/cdf0ea25b202117faf3f125f1618d51fe884ea2e.png) ---

Oh, nice, thanks. I did not notice this possibility. Just started with homey pro. I’m quite pleased with it. Many thanks for your quick response. Sander. Verzonden vanaf [Outlook voor Android](https://aka.ms/AAb9ysg)
