IKEA TRADFRI SMART LIGHT BULB - ALEXA HUB SET UP & REVIEW

[@raymondvanschaik117]

Thanks just where I was looking for to use a Ikea light without a hub on Amazon Alexa.

Glad I could help.

Thank you for the video, very useful !

I got an echo dot 5th gen and it says I need a gateway to control my bulbs without a remote, is this correct? The dirigera gateway would cost me 60 bucks

[@RicksTechReviews]

It will work with the echo 4th gen or any other echo with a built in Zigbee hub. The dirigera gateway is expensive.

[@stockonomics1016]

When I select other it asks me to set up a zigbee hub and whichever option I select it prompts me to have a zigbee hub or it will not proceed. I have echo 4th gen. What do I do

[@RicksTechReviews]

@stockonomics1016 Try turning the echo 4th gen off and back on and try it again. If that doesn’t work move the echo 4th gen closer to the bulbs for set up once they are set up you can move it back to its normal place. Hope this helps

how can i connect my ikea bulb to my alexa app without a hub through my phone please help me out!

[@RicksTechReviews]

Hi, you will need to have an Amazon echo 4th generation, echo plus or an echo show 10, as these will have a built in Zigbee hub that you can use to connect to the bulb.

i have an Echo Dot and its not working

[@RicksTechReviews]

The echo dot doesn’t have a Zigbee hub installed in them, your cheapest option would be to pick up an echo 4th gen next time they are on offer. Hope this helps

Keep driving me nuts why I couldn't get this to work and then I realized that all of my Echo devices are from before 2020.

[@RicksTechReviews]

Yeah sadly it only works with the ones with the Zigbee hub built in. Which include the Echo plus the Echo 4th gen and the echo show 10.

Does it work with echo dot 5th generation ​@@RicksTechReviews
