More of a security evaluation than anything, but it gives more info than any other article I've seen.

It's Zigbee, by the way.

And someone is doing the heavy lifting of building a library to support it in a platform agnostic way:

Looks like that unicode character breaks the URL, so you'll have to copy & paste.

Anyone managed to integrate them in indigo?

Just thought I'd clarify that while I'm interested in seeing this integrated and found the resources above that I think might help someone do it, I'm in no way qualified to attempt it.

Well, I would be able to play somehow, but I need the equipment :D
Maybe I am going to to IKEA next week and I will be a couple of bulbs + the gateway (which is needed to control bulbs).

The latest version of Home-Assistant apparently now supports these lights:

The gateway can control lights connected to it and Home Assistant will automatically discover its presence on your network.

Perhaps someone can adapt their code to Indigo?

Any movement on a Plugin for this?

They are a lot cheaper than the equivalent Hue lights.

Openhab2 also seems to support this, and I have tested it. I would really want to see this supported in Indigo. Bulbs are cheap and work really well.

They are now by the Hue Plug-in :-)

I know you could pair them with HUE, but that makes the IKEA remotes, dimmers, and motion sensor not able to talk to the bulbs anymore (correct me if I'm wrong?).

I don’t know, I don’t have any Trädfri stuff but this looks like it may help ... https://youtu.be/HFq3xi2fmYY

Hmm, I could try that, but then I need to get all my IKEA light in short distance to HUE controller and there is now 16 ++ bulbs in various sockets around the house. If the remote controls could act as "hub" to include all connected bulbs it would be a nicer solution, but I cannot make it pair that way with HUE hub.

A quick look at the above linked library shows that it requires Python 3. Indigo uses Python 2 so it's likely to be non-trivial to use that library.

No update on this side?
It could be interesting to have IKEA bulbs integrated :D
