ikea tradfri: domoticz plus controller, is it possible?
Posted: Monday 28 December 2020 23:23
Most of my setup is z-wave, but since some time I've now also got 3 zigbee devices:
- 2 x ICPSHC24-30EU-IL-1, TRADFRI driver for wireless control (30 watt)
- 1 x L1527, FLOALT LED light panel, dimmable, white spectrum (30x30 cm)
For controlling them I use zigbee2mqtt with the zigbee2mqtt plugin.
The 30w led drivers are controlled only by domoticz and they work fine. The FLOALT led panel however came with a pre-paired dimmer device. That dimmer worked for some time, but after some time it stopped working. Thinking back, I think it stopped working when I paired the panel with domoticz but at the time I didn't see the connection. Recently I replaced the battery in the dimmer device then re-paired the dimmer with the led panel (Keep the dimmer close to the led panel and press the button in the battery compartment for 10 seconds until the led goes on and the panel flashes off for a second.) Now the dimmer can be used again to control the panel. I've however lost the ability to control the panel from Domoticz.
So here's my question: is it possible to have both a dimmer and domoticz control a zigbee device in general? Or at least my FLOALT led panel? And if so, how do I do it?
