Hi there. Received my Homey Pro yesterday, so I’m new to it and the Forum.
Purpose of this topic: collection of problems and solutions resetting and pairing devices to Homey Pro
Livarno Lux Tunable White Bulb E27
I have Livarno Lux Tunable White Bulbs E27 bought from Lidl (smart home webshop). They were connected to a silvercrest zigbee gateway and a livarno remote control (Lidl lighting starter kit). I used the Lidl Home app android app to connect and control. First time I powered on the bulb it started blinking and was in pairing mode right away.
I wanted to install the lightbulbs to my homey pro after installing the Lidl Homey Community app, but that wasn’t easy. I searched manuals and the internet and youtube, but couln’t find the right way to reset and connect them. Tried a lot of suggestions but they didn’t work. In the end found out how it worked:
- Delete the device (lightbulb) from the Lidl Home app. It says all data will be erased, but apparently that doesn’t mean it will be resetted and/or go into pairing mode after power on.
- START to add the device again to the Lidl Home app (and reconnect to the gateway), then you see a screen with manual how to reset the bulb first before it will be reconnected. In this case:
- start with light on, device off for 10 seconds
- light on, then slowly (1/2 sec) device off, on, off, on (so 3 times on).
- then the bulb starts blinking (is resetted and in pairing mode).
- Do NOT add the device to the Lidl home app, but leave the Lidl Home app and open the Homey app
- Tap on devices, tap the + icon, tap to add devices, tap on the Lidl Smart Home (Homey) app, tap on the right lightbulb, tap on install, tap on go on . This all while the bulb is blinking!
- If process succeeded the bulb is added to devices in your Homey app.
I haven’t found a way to connect the Livarno remote switch (that comes with the starterkit) to Homey, maybe someone can help me with that.
