What should I do if my steering device (remote control, wireless dimmer or motion sensor) is not responding?
Check that your battery still has power and that it’s inserted correctly in the steering device, with the IKEA logo (plus sign) facing upwards.
The steering device must be paired to your light source. If you purchased a pre-paired kit, your steering device and light bulb are already connected.
