New pimatic tradfri plugin / IKEA Smart Lights

---

Hey all,
today a new update arrived to my Tradfri Gateway. Since this update it is not possible to control my lights from Pimatic. Somebody else with this problem?

Same here, logging is saying;
Try to connect to tradfri.

I removed the identity and PSK, restarted pimatic so they were generated again. But no luck.

Same issue here. Restart and removal of the generated credentials does not solve.

error [pimatic-tradfri]: Tradfri gateway is not reachable anymore!

Hope that someone understands what needs to be solved. From the news, I understand that a new Gateway update 1.8.25 is rolled out that enables some stuff for HomeKit (whatever that is ). Wouldn’t be surprised if something would have changed with authentication?

I will check it and fix it as soon as possible…

Thanks for checking! I just realized that I have the same problem!

I have the solution. The hotfix is coming.

I have release a new version. 0.1.22
hotfix for tradfri gateway firmware version 1.8.25.

• update the plugin
• stop pimatic and remove the PSK and identity parameter from the plugin config
  or clear the parameters via the web-ui
• restart pimatic

Thanks for the fast fix @kosta !

Thx Kosta

Much appreciated!

Thanks so much!!! That was a really quick fix!

Hey

I have a problem with the new version, i blocked the internet access for the ikea bridge over the fritzbox (dsl router). Every day after 24 hours pimatic cant reach the bridge anymore and i have to restart the bridge(unplug power etc) to get it working again.

I now re-enabled the internet access and check if its tomorrow okay.

Any ideas that the blocked internet access has a relationship to this?

Most likely, the bridge runs out of resources due to too many connection attempts or pending requests cause a blocking situation. There is not much one can do against this. Possibly, if the outbound calls have been reverse engineered it is possible to route connections to a fake server which lets the bridge think it is calling home. Something similar had been developed for Amazon dash-buttons simulating the Amazon backend.

Hey,

just as feedback for somebody that the same Problem. Without the Internet-Access blocked from the IKEA bridge, it works fine.

What a bummer… its against my personal security policy because i block the Internet-access from all my Smartdevices (without Alexa because it will not work without internet), i allow only Pimatic over a Reverse Proxy from my NAS to be available from the Internet . For Exampe i found out that the Milight Wlan-box tries to connect to some weird URLs (cm2.xlink.cn) in China for no Reason, etc

Goodday all, in finally installed the Tradfri system and I was not disappointed!
Unfortunately my bridge is running 1.8.26 and after installation I’m not getting a PSK , I get an identity but no PSK.

Needless to say discovery doesn’t work now, any chance on a fix??

Update:
After reinstalling the plugin it works! Just have been an error on my side.

On the plus side, I can confirm everything works with the newest firmware!!

@kosta Hey Kosta, does this mean the Raspbee plugin is the ‘new’ Tradfri plugin?

@Stokstaart
oh sorry, the post was on a wrong thread

yeah, it’s definitely a very good alternative.
but you need a zigbee dongle. see here
then you can control all zigbee devices with the plugin.
Philips hue, xiaomi/aqara senoren, tradfri, and many more
supported devices
with the dongle you can replace all vendors gateways

Hey.

Will you be adding the new tradfri blinds? Fyrtur I believe they are called?
