GreatAnonymous reviewerEasy to install and use
Doesn't workAnonymous reviewerIt came with the Pax wardrobe lighting. I plugged in the wireless driver, lights work, put batteries in this and pressing the buttons does nothing. No idea which component is broken, there are no setup or pairing instructions
Dimmer switchAnonymous reviewerDifficult to pair to lights. Instructions are terrible, we had to watch to YouTube videos to figure it out.
It’s not clearly marked what pressing each side of the switch will do so you end up just clicking and hoping for the best. Poor design from ikea, i expected better.
Let there be lightAnonymous reviewerDecided with installation of new kitchen to have under cabinet lighting included with the design.
Would have thought that the control could have been wired into the circuit as this control panel with probably end up being attached to the wall by the door.
Great!Anonymous reviewerEasy to set up and love that I can easily adjust the brightness of the bathroom cabinet light.
Remote control Anonymous reviewerWould definitely recommend this product as the lamp is very bright
Superb value for money. Anonymous reviewerAs Zigbee remote controls go this has to be the best value. Straightforward to pair (I use Home Assistant with the Zigbee2MQTT addon) and unlike some Zigbee devices it stays connected and doesn't require periodic re-pairing.
Can’t get to work with Mittled lightsAnonymous reviewerBought the Rodret with Tradfri box and Mittled lights. Tried all solutions in the reviews but no luck. The instructions that come with the switch are of no use. Lights fitted but no switch to turn them on and off. Very frustrating.
Works well - pairing instructions not goodAnonymous reviewerThis product works really well once it has been successfully paired with the hub. I tried several times to pair the product following the IKEA instructions and was unsuccessful. I had to resort to the review and the found out that it was the 4 quick presses to get it to connect to the hub and dim the lights and then the long press to complete the pairing. Once paired though they work perfectly.
Perfect control…..Anonymous reviewerThis is a smart and useful controller for the light.
Amazing product Anonymous reviewerWhat a great idea to have this remote to control my lights
Easy control Anonymous reviewerUsed this in conjunction with a Stoftmoln LED light. It can be part of your smart home by connecting to a Dirigera. I used it as a stand alone ON/OFF/DIMMER and it’s great. Recommended this product.
Great value wireless switchAnonymous reviewerI can't understand why anyone would complain. It's pretty perfect. It's cheaper than Chinese ZigBee switches, works perfectly and comes with IKEA's return policy and is good quality.
I use it with the IoT Portal Hub so I just press discover on the hub and press the pair button 4 times and it finds it. I've got loads of them and they all work fine.
If you're having trouble it will be the hub or whatever you're connecting it to. 4 presses to pair works every time.
It is an absolute bargain for a decent quality ZigBee switch!
works well and works with tradfri v1Anonymous reviewerI miss the idealistic minimalism of the outgoing square switches but button batteries were wasteful and silly. The new design - battery size notwithstanding - is an unwelcome departure from the style but it's not inherently unattractive. Really I'd have far preferred passive switches but I know this isn't feasible so the move to standard AAA is a huge improvement. More than anything I'm pleased ikea have stuck to their principles with backwards compatibility to the mk1 tradfri hub, and a zigbee setup that can be used entirely disconnected from the internet or even at a pinch the controlling hub. "fails gracefully" as all good technology should.
Wrong instructions on how to pairAnonymous reviewerThe good news is that once you pair it with your device, it works perfectly fine. The bad news is that pairing this remote with your device can be really hard. Don't follow the instructions attached as it simply doesn't work. After numerous tries and reading other's reviews, I finally managed to pair it with my device (TRADFRI gateway). What worked for me was: 1) Reset the device you want to pair first (in my case it was inserting the pin in the TRADFRI gateway. 2) Right after that keep pressing repeatedly the pairing button inside the remote until it starts flashing red light (simultaneously with product you try to pair - in my case lights connected to gateway). 3) Only once everything stops flashing (after 30-45 seconds), press and hold the pairing button inside the remote while holding it very close to the product you try to pair. After abut 10 seconds it will flash the lights and your remote is finally paired with your product.
@IKEA - please update your user manual.
Stick with itAnonymous reviewerI pride myself on being able to set stuff like this up really easily, but unfortunately the instructions aren't great. I had to attempt the process a few times and eventually took my Tradfri off the wall and put them against each other and it worked!
Will not work with the MITTLED kitchen strip lights Anonymous reviewerTried every suggestion on here, can't even get a flashing light. Have I got a duffer or is anyone else having this problem with these lights and switch? IKEA please help
Works okAnonymous reviewerWorks fine
Waste of time and moneyAnonymous reviewerOnly switching on works, but off does not, you have to press very gently and at the right angle and sometimes it works. I expected better quality from IKEA, but it's a dud. Ordered online and I don't even have the option to return/exchange. I am completely disappointed
Excellent remote and dimmer switchAnonymous reviewerIf you're using this with the Tradfri make sure you're within a few centimetres of this base station when you pair. You should see the red light flicker as it pairs. I wasn't within the range of the base station at first and had problems, if you've tried unsuccessfully, unplug lights from mains, plug in again, take the battery out of dimmer and back in again and repeat pairing process, and you should be good to go! It's worth sticking with it!!!
