Hi from Manchester Alex! Really enjoyed watching your excellent (and very entertaining 😂) review of the IKEA Trådfri smart bulb system, we have them all around our house. In return for your excellent video I would like to help you pronounce "Trådfri" (which is wireless in Swedish...), It is pronounced Trodfri (the "i" sounds like it would in mini), the usual mistaken pronunciation of Trådfri (Trodfri) is Tradfry which cracks me up! As someone with a Norwegian dad and who has an uncle who lives in Stockholm here is how to pronounce IKEA, i-key-a not eye-key-a (I have 2 Swedish cousins who work for IKEA...). Thanks again for your excellent review Alex. Cheers, Thorvald (pronounced Tourval) 👍☺🌈

The reason the first bulb did not connect i bet is because you connected it to the remote first. I bet if you reset the bulb it would connect fine to the hub. Just like the second bulb did

If you paired the switch previously, it won't let you pair again with the same bulb, you have to press the reset button on the switch I guess... I only have IKEA smart lighting at home and all their stuff works like a charm with HomeKit and Siri... I love their simplicity (and the price tag of course :D).

So how do Smart Bulbs work. Can you turn them off like a regular bulb or do you HAVE to keep the switch on "on" and control it through the app/alex/...? And if you have to keep the switch "on" then does it use power as long as the bulb is switched OFF via app or does it only use power when lightswitch AND app say "on"? ..

They can be switched on via the light switch if you turn it off first. You won’t be able to use the app to control them if you’ve turned them off at the switch as there’s no power. So yeah, it’s best to keep them switched on at the switch.
@crcomments8509
5 жыл бұрын
If you leave the actual light switch to them on, then yes they do use electricity even if they are switched off by the app, they need to power their own zigbee signal, but it’s very low power. With the hue hub, if you set the bulbs to dimmed, then switch a physical light switch on or off, the lights will come back on at their full brightness (this is annoying, but also useful if you need to turn a light on quickly). It’s nice to have a couple of lights on these systems, but you soon realise, going and switching a physical switch on is generally quicker than a) saying ‘Alexa, turn on dining room light 1’, or b) picking up your phone, unlocking it, opening the app.

No, you don't need the Trådfri Gateway. You can pair the bulbs directly with the ZigBee hub in the Echo Plus. The only downside is that the firmware in the bulbs will not get automatically updated as you need the Trådfri Gateway for that, but in practical terms this is not really a problem as I've had my Trådfri bulbs running without the Gateway for about a year with no issues. Of course the official app won't control the bulbs without the Gateway but Alexa can control them just fine. You can also use a Smartthings Hub to control the Trådfri bulbs with an unofficial Device Handler.

DO NOT BUY THESE! after watching this video I went out and spent quite a bit of money for lights in every room of my house. I couldn't even get the dimmer to sync to the gateway at first, the app is terrible to use. It kept saying no devices found but then if I force close the app the dimmer would magically appear. I'd then stand atop a pair of ladders near a 1000Lm bulb holding the damn button down for 10 seconds and the light would dim a bit but alas, still the app cant find the bulb - it couldn't find any of the 7 bulbs I'd purchased - despite that the dimmer could actually control the bulbs after the lights flickered. after 3 days I gave up and called ikea and they actually told me they're aware of issues such as this and the product is still in its early days and we should expect them - should we? because when i bought Phillips hue it worked on day one. it's an absolute joke!!
