What should I do if my steering device (remote control, wireless dimmer or motion sensor) is not responding?

If your remote or dimmer isn’t working, check the battery and pairing—most issues are easy to fix.

If your steering device (remote control, wireless dimmer, or motion sensor) isn’t responding, try the following:
  1. Ensure the battery still has power and is inserted correctly, with the IKEA logo (plus sign) facing upwards.
  2. Check that the steering device is paired with your light source. If you bought a pre-paired kit, your steering device and light bulb should already be connected.
