You have the IKEA hub? I only have homey… ---

Yes, I have an IKEA hub. So if the dimmer doesn’t work in your case, but it does in mine, perhaps it’s not the dimmer that’s a horrible product 😉 ---

The dimmer is too sensitive, merely looking at it sends a signal to Homey. This could be solved with a debouncer. Also, I have to feeling tuning the knob is not really accurate in sending messages. ---

I bought one and tested a few things. It is a terrible device for a great price 🙂 ---

Ikea dimmer is working well but not with Homey. I was able to make it work, but it was too laggy, sometimes working well sometimes not at all. Than I connected all Ikea devices over the Ikea hub and than integrated it into Homey and that is a different story. Everything works fluently without any issues. So I do recommend investment into Ikea hub. But you wont be able to control other than Ikea devices with dimmer. ---

Problem with this dimmer is that it designed to send signal continuesly and homey doesn’t receive continue. So if you turn the dimmer everytime a bit and wait inbetween then it works ok. Not fantastic but it works. With IKEA bridge it is a lot better, but you can’t control it with a hue dimmer remote or fibaro wall-switch or sensor or whatever other means. The IKEA tap supposely should do a better job, but i don’t want it. ---

6 years later, I got my Ikea dimmer out of the cabinet, paired up with Homey, but it seems it just doesn’t work with homey or the plugin. There is no value-tag, the only thing I can select from is “Battery level alarm”. There is no dimmer value to get. I can make it react when the dimmer changes value, but I can’t find a way to actually retrieve that value. Seems the plugin doesn’t offer it.
