Great controllerChrisGot 3 of them and they work an absolute treat! Impossibly good for the price tag5
BILRESA two button remote is excellentDonThe two button remote is very well priced and performs better than expected. The multifunction (single press, double press & long press) on each button opens up many possibilities. Works very well & quickly with Apple Home. I have and use many of these every day which says a lot. The Apple Home app also works very well with this Remote with added bonus of just 2 AAA cells.
The box/package did not mention the multifunction ability but it was a nice feature to discover. In the bedroom a Single press of ON button turns ALL lights on (room, night tables, small lamp), double press has small lamp only on for reading, long press Dims the small lamp. A single press of the OFF side turns ALL lights off. This took maybe two minutes to set up including the decision of what function to use.5
Works greatJuanitaWas so easy to connect5
Doesn’t workTraceyPut batteries in . It worked for 10
Minutes . Then nothing1
Works well if you have a reliable thread networkDanialAt first I had some issues with delayed response but the issue was my thread network. The buttons with well now. The build quality is not great but it's perfect for the price.4
Love it DominiqueWorks super well looked up how to set it up and now I can change my bulb all different colors with the remote!!5
Stops RespondingDaveNot a great switch from Ikea. Loses connection every couple days. Requires pulling batteries at the least, or re-pairing to regain function.1
Will not work with HA anymoreArjunI have tried multiple remotes and every one of them stopped responding to HA. It works for few hours and doesnt recover from sleep. The old style zigbee remotes works flawless1
Nice form factor but needs some improvementJoshuaWorks well with the Dirigera and Ikea Home Smart. Be sure to press with intent, as the click point happens before the point of registering a press. There's also a rougly 0.5s delay between presses and actions. Currently can not hold a stable link with HomeAssistant.3
Worked - stop working - workingDavidI've seen all the bad reviews but decided to try it anyways. I added it to Apple Home without issue and setup a few actions on the buttons. The next day it stopped working... Removed batteries, put them back and it has been working over since - one week now. I'll keep testing. I would really like to try the temp/humid sensor when they get stock back!4
Wish I could rate 0 starsKiersyI was so excited to pair this to my Matter Homey Pro hub, but after 3 devices tried, it is just a poor product at this point.
It either gets stuck in the setup process, or gets stuck when trying to add to thread network, or gets added and them can't connect - or, and this was worse, finally got connected qnd working, but woke up next morning and connection lost and refused to re-pair.
I picked up the Styrbar and although it uses Zigbee, at least it works with my Homey Pro and so far no issues.
Until Ikea addresses the issues with Bilresa, I highly recommend not trying to use this for a Matter home, the headache is not worth it (unless you're using the Ikea app which i assume works well)1
works great, easy to pairKevinIf you are having issues, its likely not a device issue rather your IPv6 network. Do some research. I had a double NAT issue, when resolved; Thread devices became very reliable.5
Double click makes this WORSEOriIKEA needs to release a version of this switch without the double click feature. The problem is that after a single click, it has to wait for the maximum time a double click would be valid to see if the button gets pressed again, before it can decide what kind of click you meant. After that max time it can decide it was a single click. That means the instantaneous light switching with the previous RODRET switch is impossible, there's always a noticeable delay. Lag isn't what anyone expects from a light switch.
Double click has its place, but for most users and applications this isn't the best way to go. Please put out a parallel SKU like you had in the past (RODRET vs SOMRIG) or at least release a firmware update where a power user could specify to never wait for double clicks. Thanks for considering this IKEA!3
Works great, needs a thread routerJohnThe remote requires a thread router to connect with other smart devices. I picked one up and now I am able to turn both my lamps on/off with their connected smart plugs. I love the magnetic back attachment as it allows me to place the remote next to my light switch on the wall while having the option to take it where I want.4
Not connecting to matterShawnI can't connect to the device on Apple Home matter setup. Keeps saying "connection failed"2
Great ControllerStephenI like the nice, elegant style. Clicking on the buttons is nice and tactile. Paired very easily and quickly to Home Assistant and works great. Wonderful remote!5
Easy to pair it just worksKaiIt paired easily with my HomeKit via the Matter QR code. Each button is behaving as it is configured. Good value imo.5
Good Double Button RemoteAqeelUsing it with Sonoff-E USB Dongle -> Open Thread Border Router -> HomeAssistant. It generates Pressed once, twice and hold down events which can be used to trigger different automations. Good remote for the price.5
WORTH IT. 100% especially for Apple HomeJohn PaoloI have an Apple Home setup and this just integrated right into it. I just scanned the Matter code on the back and I was paired within a minute. I like that I can have 6 scenes (3 per button). Well worth the money and will go and get more!5
All goodWalidOriginally it didn't want to pair with Apple home after 3 rests, I was going to return it, but I really like the product it well made and sturdy so I kept pairing when I failed I rest, did it 5 more time and it finally was able to pair to Apple Home. Recommendations kept trying 5
