How to Connect an IKEA TRÅDFRI DRIVER to a PHILLIPS HUE BRIDGE

[@beatricepersson8286]

Thank you so much for saving me money trying to find a remote to work with my old ikea led lights! Already have a hue bridge so this was perfect! You're truly awesome!

[@OwsleyLaws71]

I don't know why but I enjoy this guys personality

[@HumanSuten]

Haha, I appreciate you saying that 😂☺️

[@borishemetek9138]

I was about to go buy DIRIGERA when I seen this video..works perfectly with my Hue bridge, saved me 60 euros!!

[@lizalou2018]

I’ve had this system in my kitchen for 2 years and only now did I know that I could connect to my Philips Hue Hub; thank you so much! I can now dim and otherwise control the under cabinet lights along with the rest of my house lights and plugs with one controller.

[@xhargh]

Här har man suttit och försökt koppla ihop trådfri genom att starta om 6 ggr och resettat om vartannat, och var det så här enkelt. Tack! ❤

[@WhyHeeeeyImJoe]

I very rarely comment on videos, but thank you so much! I can't believe this isn't properly explained anywhere! (I'm guessing it's because IKEA want people to buy the gateway/Tradfri Hub instead) I knew there must've been a way with how the Hue Bridge supports third party lights but couldn't for the life of me work out how to connect it. Thank you!

[@nilleftw]

I can't believe it was this simple. Thank you so much for this video! I'd send you a beer if I could.

[@CaptainCrunch111]

Thank you so much from Germany. I saw over 20 Videos and read a big couple of bullshit. I see 1 Minute of your Video and it works!! THANKS!

[@HumanSuten]

No problem! We're so happy to hear that our video helped you out and was easy to follow! 😊

[@netta1505]

This video made me get the YTBERG and TRADFRI system lights for my bookcase! I have hue lights already too so it was a win win and so affordable. Thank you for showing the easy set up!

[@asaolsson42]

Tack för instruktionerna. Jag hade även önskat hjälp med att installera Ikea åskväder till Hue.

[@carla.n.5078]

Life saver! Recently struggled to get my IKEA lights to work as I wanted. Switched to Hue Bridge/Switch from the IKEA HUB and it works. The bridge and switches I found used for cheap and teh hub also. IKEA lights are a good compromise instead of Phillips own lights which costs alot more.

[@johncm9169]

Thanks a lot. I was so desparate, you saved me. It was a piece of cake, thanks to your video. Keep up the good work!

[@paulg9271]

Works great is there also a possibility to connect the rodret dimmer of the remote control on this way

[@TimBorka]

I always come back to this video when I have to re-pair this thing.

[@robertoburgos5445]

Hi mate! I have one issue. As you show in the video I am able to pair both devices the tradfri driver for wireless 30w with hue bridge but when I do this the tradfri wireless dimmer is unpaired. So I have the impression that I only pair with hue bridge the tradfri driver of 30w or with the dimmer but not both to the same time. Would be possible to pair both tradfri to the hue bridge?Many thanks!

[@MartiniKarnivor]

Det här var ju hur bra som helst! Mina IKEA LED-lister för bänkbelysningen funkar nu med HUE; scener och allt. Fixat på två minuter, stort tack!

[@HumanSuten]

Inga problem, kul att höra, nöjet är verkligen på vår sidan! 😊

[@arenzo1979]

I have the same setup, but would like to add a motion-sensor to control tradfri. This probably only works with original hue, right? As soon as I connect Vallhorn to Tradfri, it loses the hue-connection.

[@KonstantinGaridis]

Thanks man. I couldn't figure out the connection, but the step with the reset button helped.

[@jimmynguyen2720]

Thanks so much for this video! I added our new IKEA Counter lights to our old hue bridge which was an easy solution to make our lights smart and not getting the hub.

[@Festano]

Hi, would the light then show up in Apple Home Kit? Thx.

[@nathanbrown2344]

Absolute life-saver, this, thanks so much!

[@pascalhibon7928]

Do the Ikea smart lights also work with Apple Homekit?

[@benjaminmedben7709]

Can you dim the lights as well with the hue system?

[@HumanSuten]

Yes, all works perfectly both with the Philips Hue app and the Google Home app. You can dim the lights and turn them off.

[@michaelhansen8612]

Thanks for Sharing your project. I am preparing a similar task but but wonder if your existing spot were 12v or 24v. Seems ikea tradfri driver only exists with 24v output and my old spots are 12v and basically all other low profile spots on marked is 12v.

[@Sam-Krieg]

Yesss! Thank you, I made the exact same sound when they popped up

[@HumanSuten]

Haha no problem 😊👍🏿

[@andypandy499]

Excellent video! Tack och bra jobbat :-)

[@MimiCger]

Worked perfect for me! Thx mate :)

[@KristofferLybeck]

Hej, kan man fortfarande ha en trådfri fysisk knapp kopplad till lampan om man gör en reset och kopplar den till hue. Så man fortfarande kan använda knappen?, vilket såklart är smidigt emellanåt.

[@HumanSuten]

Hej Jag skulle rekommendera att du använder dig av en Philips Hue Dimmer Switch som en fysisk lampknapp för högsta kompatibilitet och minst problem. Om du ändå vill köra Trådfri kontroll: När det gäller Trådfri kontrollen så måste du använda iConnectHue (iOS) Hue Essentials (Android) appen och använda dig av Touchlink metoden för att först synka kontrollen så att den hamnar på samma ZigBee kanal som Philips Hue bryggan. Sedan kan du para ihop den med IKEA Trådfri Drivaren. Kolla in våran video där du kan tänka dig att Trådfri sensorn som används i videon är din Trådfri kontroll: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jHuviadurc6Gepo

[@KristofferLybeck]

Human & Suten tack för svar. Jag ska kolla videon du länkade till.

[@ksks4205]

Thank you The only down side to connecting it to hue is that the ikea remote control that can be purchased separately will stop working if you connect the light to hue. So u can either use the ikea remote or hue system can't use both 😢 which is sad. I would use hue when at home from my mobile but then my family can not use the remote to switch on the light when I'm away (they have to pair the remote again)

[@19_SeventyHate]

Precis detta jag ville se innan vi bygger om köket i sommar! 👍🏻

[@HumanSuten]

Roligt att höra att du gillade videon och lycka till med byggandet av ditt nya kök! ☺️👍🏿

[@parismontcho9597]

Merci pour cette vidéo, je vis en France et cette vidéo est très utile et ta pédagogie est excellente…top Thank You for thé vidéo, i live in France and it’s very helpful. Your explanation is excellente…top!!!

[@Minh_vn]

Thanks for the video! Just to make sure: I only need the driver to connect it to the Hue Bridge, then it automatically shows up in my Google home because it´ts connected via Hue App? Do you happen to know if I can use HomeKit this way too (without needing a tradfri gateway)?

[@HumanSuten]

No problem and thanks for watching! 😊 In the Google Home app you have to add your Philips Hue account. Unfortunately Homekit will not work with third party devices connected to Philips Hue bridge.

[@Minh_vn]

@@HumanSuten Thank you so much for the quick reply! Have a great day!

[@shams.96]

I was able to setup my lights with the receiver in the Hue app (I'm using the Hue bridge) but now I can't use the remote control (Styrbar) that I got with the light. I can either use the Hue app or the remote control, not both at the same time. Any idea why?

[@Weppo.]

Found a solution?

[@andreahandscomb5291]

Thanks. This video was helpful. I was able to connect my Norrfly lights to the Trafri driver, and connect my Tradfri to my Phillips hub. I can dim the lights on my Phillips app, but my Alexa doesn't recognize the Tradfri as a dimmable light. Alexa only turns the lights on and off. Any thoughts? Do I have to purchase the Gateway and/or the Tradfri remote? Thanks again. **Update - Yup, I needed the remote. I watched your other video on pairing the remote to Hue, and now the lights dim with Alexa!

[@HumanSuten]

I don't how Alexa works but the Philips Hue bridge with Google Home works without any issues and you can dim the the Trådfri light.

[@HammyHavoc]

Does this work with the IKEA kitchen lights that have built in motion sensors? Do you know if one of the lights detecting motion triggers all of them on the driver?

[@TimBrandin]

Har du lyckats få det att fungera med Apple Home appen? Verkar inte som drivern dyker upp där även om den dyker upp i Hue appen

[@HumanSuten]

Hej. Tredjepartsprodukter som kopplas med Philips Hue dyker inte upp i Apple Homekit tyvärr, endast Philips Hue produkter gör det.

[@xMackoyx]

Thank you for muting "Hey Google" :D

[@HumanSuten]

No problem, we're happy to hear that you appreciated us doing that ☺️ It can get really annoying watching KZbin videos who doesn't do that.

[@pierre-louisguidez2040]

thanks! happy I found this and won't have to buy an IKEA gateway

[@jiz100]

Is the Tradfri LED Driver really dimmable through philips hue ecosystem after you set it up ?

[@HumanSuten]

Yes, we have it in our parents apartment, our older brother's apartment (as seen in this video) and in our older sister's apartment. Dimming works without issues using the Philips Hue app.

[@bjurni]

Hi, this mightv been answered somewhere else. But can i still use the trådfri remote and manually turn on/off & dim the lights after ive integrated them into the philips bridge ?

[@HumanSuten]

Hi, Please check out this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/jHuviadurc6Gepo and follow this tutorial but just replace the Trådfri Sensor with your Trådfri Remote.

[@bjurni]

@@HumanSuten Thanks for the link, probably should have asked in a different way (with more information.. sorry.. :D) We have our kitchen lights via Ikea, led-"lists" like 12 of them. They are connected to the grey boxes that i have synced with the round remote. Can i also (i want the remote to function as normal) pair the grey boxes / led-lists to my hue bridge ? Tack, och förlåt! :)

[@HumanSuten]

Yes absolutely, I understood what you meant and you can do that. But easiest way is to buy a Philips Hue Dimmer Switch which would work seamlessly without any problem or issues. If you want the connect the Trådfri Remote then connect it using the same method that we used to connect the Trådfri Sensor in the video i linked 😊

[@marcuspalin9471]

Tjena, grym kanal. Vet du om det är möjligt att para ihop trådfri remote och drivern till hue hubben? Alltså att man kan styra drivern med både appen och trådfri remote. Keep up the good work 👌

[@macaai]

Jag undrar samma , sugen på köpa ledlister till köket, vilka är bäst då? Samt kan man ha fysisk knapp oxå från Ikea? Tack för en bra video @Humansuten

[@andreashanninen2849]

Tack för en bra video. Har dock en fråga, måste man använda en Trådfri driver? Har en Omlopp i mitt kök, fanns redan på plats när jag flyttade in. Använder mig även av en Philips Hue Bridge. Tack på förhand!

[@HumanSuten]

Hej! Tack för att du tittade på vår video. Nej, tyvärr måste man använda sig utav en Trådfri Driver för att koppla ihop den med Philips Hue bryggan. Trådfri drivern använder sig av ZigBee protokollet vilket Philips Hue bryggan använder sig utav.

[@stefankronenberg2825]

Thanks! Your video helped me a lot!

[@tedyboy3932]

Riktigt bra video, funka direkt här med, visste inte om de skulle gå smärtfritt men det gjorde det :)

[@HumanSuten]

Skönt att höra att allt gick bra! 😊

[@ddr80]

so to make it work one would need to buy 1)omlopp 2)tradfri driver 3)ansluta cord separately?

[@HumanSuten]

Yes absolutely!

[@frankiefrij3272]

Great stuff, just applied in my kitchen.

[@LindaMaricas]

Wow, tack för videon, jättebra att veta!

[@HumanSuten]

Inga problem, nöjet är på vår sida! 😊

[@hampusjohansson5791]

Funkar det att köra dessa i hue appen och även använda Ikeas multi knapp?

[@HumanSuten]

Det går att koppla Trådfri Driver samtidigt med Hue som IKEAs multi knapp dock blir det inte samma funktionalitet som du skulle ha med en Trådfri Gateway. Du kommer bara kunna släcka och tända. Om du ändå vill göra det, följ denna video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bYeynqFnotFmo80 Annars skulle jag rekommendera att du köper en Philips Hue Dimmer Switch som kommer ge dig full funktionalitet för att styra belysningen.

[@neodentist]

Thank so much 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@MadsPerschke]

Thanks, guys. Great to be able to control these drivers in the Hue app. However, I would also like to have local control, so I purchased some IKEA Trådfri dimming switches and once I pair one of those to the IKEA Trådfri driver, the connection between that driver and Philips Hue is lost. The only way to get it back is to reset the driver and set everything up in the Hue app again. Quite unfortunate that you can't use the drivers with both the Hue system and IKEA Trådfri switches. Any inpuit to this? Perhaps even a solution? :)

[@HumanSuten]

No problem at all! We're happy to hear that you found success using this tutorial. You can just buy regular Philips Hue Dimmer Switches to control the lights like you want to. That's the easiest way and that's what my older brother who owns the kitchen in the video does. But if you want to connect an IKEA Trådfri Dimmer Switch you can use this tutorial we made to connect a Trådfri Sensor. Just replace the sensor in this video with the Trådfri Dimmer Switch and follow the video. Link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jHuviadurc6Gepo

[@MadsPerschke]

@@HumanSuten Thanks, I watched that video already and tried that, but it seems that I have quite a few problems with Touchlink. I'm not sure if it's my Hue Bridge (version 2.1) that is to blame, or if it something else... but I have tried 2 different apps: "Hue Essentials" (in this one, the "Touchlink" button doesn't work at all. I don't know whether it's only active in the paid version of the app, or if it's a bug in the current version) and "all 4 hue" (I paid for the full version of this one, but still can't get the IKEA Trådfri Dimmer Switch to connect to the Hue Bridge with Touchlink at all. I will try with a Philips Hue Smart button instead. :)

[@grandemyhr]

Hej, tack för en bra video, Har bara lite problem med att få över det hela till Apple home appen, plus att när jag synkar om kontrollen från Ikea så slutar det att funka på Philips hue appen. Några idéer?

[@HumanSuten]

Hej, tack för dina positiva ord! 😄 Apple Homekit stödjer endast Philips Hue produkter så även om man kan koppla IKEAs Trådfri serie till Philips Hue bryggan så kommer dessa inte att synas i Apple Homekit. När det gäller Trådfri kontrollen så måste du använda iConnectHue appen och använda dig av Touchlink metoden för att först synka kontrollen så att den hamnar på samma ZigBee kanal som Philips Hue bryggan. Sedan kan du para ihop den med IKEA Trådfri Drivaren. Kolla in våran video där du kan tänka dig att Trådfri sensorn som används i videon är din Trådfri kontroll: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jHuviadurc6Gepo

[@greghill4714]

My lights hooked up just like yours but they flag every 10 seconds. Any ideas why

[@maddisonclarkson5291]

Is there any way to do the opposite , for example I have an LED phillips light strip, and i have an Ikea Bridge (not sure if that’s actually what it’s called) and I don’t really want to purchase a phillips hue bridge if i don’t have to !

[@HumanSuten]

Check out this subreddit: www.reddit.com/r/tradfri/comments/6vcnzv/hue_bulbs_can_now_also_be_paired_with_ikea/? They may be able to help you out, seems like you can actually connect Philips Hue products to the IKEA Trådfri Gateway but with some limitations like not getting the color spectrum and so on.

[@yanikwolf1447]

Is there a remote inside the package?

[@HumanSuten]

No, you can buy a Philips Hue dimmer switch to use as a remote if you've would like a physical remote for the Trådfri Drivers when it's connected to the Philips Hue Bridge.

[@ahvold]

Does it show up in apple homekit when connected to hue bridge?

[@HumanSuten]

I don't know as we don't use Apple products. But this should show up like the rest of the products you have paired with the Philips Hue Bridge as the Trådfri products show up in the Philips Hue app.

[@rodneylim]

The room showed up in Apple Homekit but not the driver. I think it still requires the IKEA bridge for it to work.

[@paulork2694]

Fantastiskt... kopplar du in listerna parallellt eller i serie?

[@zerblatt3365]

Kan man lägga till en Hue dimmerknapp i köket om man skulle vilja det?

[@HumanSuten]

Absolut kan man det! I detta kök så finns en Philips Hue Dimmer Switch och det fungerar utan problem, exakt som om det vore en Philips Hue produkt 👍🏿

[@JohanSandvik]

Great tutorial man! Have you tried using a Hue Switch to control the Ikea driver ?

[@HumanSuten]

Yes, this was our older brothers kitchen and he uses a Philips Hue Dimmer Switch in his Kitchen and it works flawlessly 👍

How i can pair tradfri driver with hue hub and tradfri dimmer remote?
