Hue Bridge and Trädfri Drivers

Post by Umtauscher »

Hi Nathan,

I just found you Hue plugin and just couldn't resist ti add a Hue bridge to my system.
First of all, thanks a lot for your work.

The cause for me to go the Hue route were the new Ikea Trädfri LED drivers that are so low price. The Hue bridge found them immediately and I could dimm alle the LED lamps I have at once.
Then I added the bridge to indigo. So far so easy. What I couldn't do was to add one of the lamps to indigo.
I added a Hue lights device but none of the "model" entries showed any device. I tried them all. So either I am doing wrong or the Hue plugin doesn't support all Hue devices.
The only thing I can do is create a room for each lamp and then I can add them as a device group. This seems to me like a workarround.
Am I doing something wrong ?
In the Hue app the Ikea drivers are listed as dimmable lamps. When I press the "i" Button I get
Model:
SW: 1.2.245
Room: Roomname

Here is a snippet from the debug log, if you need info.

Code: Select all

Wilhelm,

Nathan needs to add each bulb type to the plugin, and of course lots of different types and manufacturers can be added to the hue hub so it is an every moving target. In this http://forums.indigodomo.com/viewtopic. ... 13#p147913 describes how you can edit the definition yourself, you just need to figure out which category to put it in based on its capabilities (dimming, colour etc).

In your case I think you will need to add
TRADFRI transformer 30W
into the relevant category and they should appear, and you don't need to wait. As you can see from the thread Nathan normally adds new ones into the list. I am now going to take a look at what this transformer does, so thanks for the pointer !

Neil

...and worked great.
I added it to the living whites section.

This is really good to know because Ikea seems to be constantly releasing new stuff.

Thanks again

Hi Wilhelm.

I’m glad you were able to get the IKEA lights added. Neil’s right. I need to add each model ID manually based on its capabilities. I’ll get this IKEA model added in the next patch release. If you get other lights that work with the Hue bridge but aren’t recognized by the Hue Lights plugin, let me know the model ID (or provide debug log output like you did here) and I’ll add support for them too.

Hi,

That’s interesting.
But which hardware shall I buy?
Only the Hue bridge and few IKEA bulbs?
No Hue Bulbs are required?

Thanks
Marco

That’s nice.
I have never bought Hue because of the price of bulbs.
But now it becomes interesting.
Only problem is to check the firmware version of ikea bulbs.

I think I will go to mediamarkt to buy the hub :)

I don't know, because I haven't tested it but in theory it should work.

After some research, it should work.

I am still deciding if going for Hue bulbs, or IKEA bulbs :D

I bought finally the Hue bridge with 2xE14 Bulbs, installed the plugin, and it works like a charm, thank you very much
Now, IKEA bulbs are much cheaper; I have understood I have to buy the gateway to upgrade the software of the bulbs, and then do they work out of the box? Of course, I may need to modify the plugin in order to add the model ID of the bulb, am I right?

Thanks
Marco
