No problem, and after all the long hours you have put in from your free time, I can only thank you for your efforts! Yes, I struggled, but then finding the solution is very rewarding :) Btw, I think that the basic install/setup of Tradfri has gotten too complex for the average Joe. Especially the ...

After weeks and weeks trying to figure out why the IKEA lights stopped working from Domoticz earlier in the year, I finally figured it out... My install was one from the beginning and I never needed to move to the plugin solution. In the days past, I tried and tried, even installed the docker ...

Merci!

I also added this way/info to the Domoticz Wiki pages as another option to connect to Alexa:
1. Controlicz
2. Own Alexa Skill
3. HA Bridge

Didier, I hope that this is ok.
It actually took me days to find this guide, and even then it was almost accidentally

YESSS! Excellent detailed documentation resulted in a perfect working solution :D Ok, it took me 2 hours to find that I had only forwarded UDP traffic in my router... but other that that :) All of my devices are controlled on&off, can be dimmed and colors changed AND reading of sensors works like a ...

Well, this temperature things seems a lot of hassle. Tonight I will try this: https://github.com/rimram31/dz_smarthome
No need for HA-bridge to control the devices (incl temperature), by building your own Alexa skill...

Ok, got it working with my Dot3 and HA-bridge version 5.2.2RC2.
Now I still need to figure out how to let Alexa say the temperature of my sensors (I know the HUE protocol itself does not support it). Any hints are welcome...

Im pondering if I should buy the original Philips Hue Bridge or to build it using a Raspberry...
Can the original Philips device even be used for Domoticz, and are there any pro's and con's to using the original vs a Raspberry?
Hoping to hear some experiences from fellow Home Automation junkies

A bit late, but after some trial & error I found the answer: 1. put the physical switch in discovery mode by keeping the button pressed till the led starts blinking 2. echo "10;EMW100;ffffff;0;PAIR;" > /dev/ttyACM0 (where ffffff is the hex address you want to give to the switch and ttyACM0 the ...

To answer my own question; this is what I did to enhance the range of the gateway: http://www.domoticz.com/forum/viewtopic ... 38#p138638

And the last 3 pictures...

My Ikea Trådfi Gateway could not cover my whole house, therefore I decided to install a normal WiFi antenna. You can of course mount the antenna on the original plastic case, but in order to save (lots of) space, I mounted this small pcd directly in my electricity cabinet. Btw. I have no idea what ...

Just a small hint: change the directories in the script (I also added the full directory to the .ini file), if you do not use the /home/pi directory. I have 2 questions though: 1. I can add my lights and control them through the mobile app (so the gateway knows their ID numbers), but if I run ...

In the text: "A general ZigBee gateway would definitely be nice, but in the meantime, it's quite easy to get support for the Ikea Trådløs gateway from domotics, using a python module created by ggravlingen as part of the home-assistant project"
