Ifthe light was added before, then it may not show a new light message. Then just go back to your lights and see if it is there and working. If this failed, then most likely the smart control was not added correctly to the bridge. You should try those steps in the video again.

I managed to connect a trdfri smart outlet to the hue app, and i followed these steps and video to connect the controller as well. But when I linked the controller and outlet the outlet went offline from the app.

I did everything step by step and at 7 it showed me no new lights. As stated earlier that might happen, but now the problem is, that though I can control the light with the switch, it is not anymore possible with the app. Neither Essentials nor Hue.

This probably means that the controller was not connected correctly to the bridge. Please check the controller in the video if the lights blink exactly the same as on your controller. It may take multiple tries to connect the controller properly with the Hue bridge.

I just tried to pair a TRDFRI wireless dimmer with the Hue bridge and a Hue plug, but did not get it working. The Hue plug was controllable from the app, but the TRDFRI wireless dimmer was unable to control the Hue plug.

This means that the pairing of smart controller/switch with the bridge went wrong. You should try this again. Follow the instructions in our YouTube video on channel Hue Essentials, link in original post.

I tried multiple times over 2 days. Was so frustrated that i just swapped the controller with a new one i had. Took some time before it worked. Seems like the on/off switches are harder than the dimmers.

Yes, possible. I just tried and did it many times before.

What you do is as follows:

Follow the video for the first set (reset switch, light off power, pair switch to bridge, switch on light, pair switch to light). The do exactly the same for the next set. Keep unnecessary lights off in the mean time.

When you are done, test the switches and Hue Essentials. Sometimes it fails on one switch, it looses connection. Then wait awhile and try again if it responds. On fail, reset the switch and pair again.

really hard to connect Trdfri Motion Sensor and On/Off Switch with Hue Hub. Can search a Light in last step and the light showed up on app but still can not remote with On/Off Switch or Motion Sensor can not give trigger

Thanks For this process to perform the pairing for Ikea lighting and smart control TRADFRI. Unfortunatly the first smart control pairing worked well but when i Wanted to indroduce a second smart control in the system it removed all configuration of the first one.

Do you confirm There is limitation for smart control Ikea with Hue bridge and Hue essential application? Thanks in advance for any advice.

I bough premium, but I am unable to configure Hue bridge with Tradfri lights and switches - as someone stated above: lights work only with bridge or only with switches - something changed? (as I suppose from the description here, it worked before)

My lights never lost connection at any point I just added the dimmer the same way you as a new light. Then paired the dimmer to each of the lights. I did power down each light after connection to the dimmer but that was really only to make sure I was pairing the correct light.

Hello, is it also possible to connect the Tradfri Smartplug (instead of the Tradfri light) to the Hue bridge AND to the smart control.

I tried this but the Smartplug disappears from the Hue bridge after connecting again to the smart control.

TV brands and operators, through their settop box, are increasingly offering "Smart TV services" which requires a higher degree of user interaction. Where advances in user interface (UI) design made personal computing accessible, few in the industry have focussed the same attention on the need for a more sophisticated and intuitive UI. The remote control is fundamental to the UI and yet most SmartTV consumers are still asked to navigate and interact with a range of services using the up / down / left / right functionality of traditional remotes. That needs to change.

SmartTVs now require a multi-faceted user interface (UI), akin to PCs and tablets. These are largely driven by pointing-based interfaces, so it is no surprise that similar interfaces are now being adopted by designers and manufacturers of SmartTVs and set-top boxes.

The animation below provides a simple demonstration of gyro and uWand based remotes in action and illustrates the disconnected user experience of relative pointing remotes. To see how that works in action try our SmartTV game simulation.

uWand technology is designed to provide consumers with the easiest and most intuitive interface for controlling smart home devices. With a single uWand-equipped remote control in the living room, it is possible to adjust the air conditioning, dim the lights, open the curtains and even play complex games on the smart TV, all through a single device.
