The test version only works with v5 firmware (which as of yet is unreleased).

For the time being I use an Ikea outlet that is paired with the motion sensor. That works fine. The same idea as the bulb without the led, but out of the box;)

Yeah, nice solution 👍🏻 With the upcoming firmware v5 release, Homey should finally be able to support these devices directly.

Yep, without any issue, in v5 firmware (still experimental) and Ikea Test version ([IKEA Trådfri App for Homey | Homey](https://homey.app/en-us/app/com.ikea.tradfri/IKEA-Tr%C3%A5dfri/test/))

Unfortunately does not work for me - I stop on “Press the pair button … and wait fo the LED to start blinking”. I pressed 4 times the pair button, LED started blinking and nothing happened ☹

Any advice?

Same for me, no devices can be added In this version.  
I’ve tried a bulb e27  
A sensor  
And the remote  
I’m on V5-34rc  
zigbee still sucks big time… Luckely most of my devices are on z wave.

Same for me. The Motion Sensor doesn’t even add as a generic Zigbee device. I am however able to add a “tunable\_white\_bulb\_e14”. So something is working… (On Homey v5.0.0-rc.34, Trådfri v1.8.4)

See the Aqara zigbee topic. Someone got a reaction from Athom support that tells him in this version (V5 rc34) there are problems adding Zigbee devices to Homey. Athom is working on it. Thats why V5 is still a beta, things can be unstable or not working…

Yes. The test version of the IKEA app requires the experimental v5 firmware for Homey.
