Hi, I have the tradfri smartplug with the 1/0 on off switch. Use the Ika Tradfri app Can connect to the app: no problem. Can connect to the switch per manual instructions: homey connection is gone Reconnect to homey: switch connection is gone Cannot find the switch seperately in the app, all switches there let me press the connect button 4 times in 5 seconds but this one wants a long press for smartplug connection. Is there a way around this? ---

Have you actually tried doing what’s being suggested, i.e. pressing the connect button 4 times in a row? Because [that’s how you put the device in pairing mode](https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/devices/E1743.html#pairing). The long press is used for TouchLink pairing, which is not what you want. ---

Jup, tried them all but the switch is not there as far as i can see. The only one which looks the same is called a dimmer switch. Pressing the connect button four times does nt blink or burn any light and does not result in installation. ---

The device I linked to is the ON/OFF switch, which is the same as yours. I have a few of them and I can put them in pairing mode with the suggested method. The type of your button should be on the back, is it E1743? (and if not, what is it?) ---

> [@robertklep](#): > > E1743 Yes I have the E1743 It now succeeded by pressing 4 times within 1 second cq as fast as possible in stead of the 5 seconds. That’s the problem with many variables. If you’re not sure what you’re doing you don’t try hard enough. Maybe the instructions might be updated as well. If I read press 4 times in 5 seconds I think it’s good enough when time between presses \< 1 sec. Thanks for reacting.
