Hi everyone, I wanted to share my experience with connecting the IKEA 5-button remote control with both IKEA bulbs and the IKEA hub. At first, I was a bit confused about how to set it up properly, but after some trial and error, I managed to get everything working smoothly. Here’s what I did:
-
Initial Setup: I started by pairing the remote with the hub using the IKEA app. This part went smoothly, and the remote was recognized by the hub without any issues.
-
Pairing with Bulbs: The next step was to pair the remote with the bulbs. I followed the instructions in the app, but I noticed that once I paired the remote with a bulb, it stopped connecting back to the hub. This was a bit frustrating because I wanted the remote to work with both the bulbs and the hub simultaneously.
-
Solution: After some research, I found that the key was to pair the remote with the hub first and then with the bulbs, ensuring that the hub was always in range. I also discovered that resetting both the remote and the hub before starting the process helped eliminate any connection issues.
-
Final Setup: By carefully following these steps and ensuring that all devices were within range, I was able to get the remote working with both the bulbs and the hub. It’s been working perfectly ever since!
If anyone else is having trouble with this setup, I’d be happy to help. Just drop a comment below!
Cheers,
