Hi all,

Today IKEA presented the new device TRÅDFRI Snelkoppelknop. I think it would be a brilliant add on for Homey to launch flows etc. My question is, will it be supported and when?

Now why is it brilliant to buy a wireless IKEA switch, and the IKEA hub, for starting flows on Homey?  
Why not just buy the [Aqara wireless switch](https://nl.aliexpress.com/item/4000080294419.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.73d5459fI3kYxH&algo_pvid=1cefa69a-9ebf-4d79-b8ef-bf65216ae8cd&algo_expid=1cefa69a-9ebf-4d79-b8ef-bf65216ae8cd-15&btsid=9c7dea1b-d0ee-494d-bbb5-0fe27c265f17&ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_9,searchweb201603_53)? @TedTolboom made a brilliant app for that, that’s true!

When will the 5-button remote and the dimmer switch be supported? Those have been available for many many months already 😛

These are now supported from the Tradfri app version 1.11.0. Currently in test.

At first they didn’t work for me while paired correctly but after a couple of days the triggers spontaneously started functioning.

Succesfully paired this button but still not working in flows after many days.  
Batterystatus seems to be received by Homey.

But trigger does not function in flows. So it is useless.

Had the same but not sure if it is a app fault, a stability issue of the button or a Zigbee Networking stability issue here.

I am regualry testing now but most of the time it works.

Please update your Shortcut Button firmware if you have an IKEA Trafdri Hub.  
and report to Athom if it fails and send a App log and Homey report.

Update shotcut-button firmware ? How ?  
I also have the hub, but cannot see find options for updating button firmware in the Home Smart app.  
Are you sure this is possible ?

Just add to the IKEA Hub,  
Check in IKEA App settings -

but although I was pretty sure the first button I added was updated to above version the new probably already was.

And still not confirmed stable in use, often the trigger just does not work.

also found out that a long press of the paring button can pair direct with a TRÅDFRI light more then 1 meter away…

Do you use the Tradfri Hub, or a direct connection? I have connection but nothing happened when I press it with direct to Homey connection.

I don’t have a hub, it is directly connected to Homey (and still working).
