I had a power outage and now my smart lighting doesn't work, what do I do?

In the event of problems with the lighting after a power failure, the lighting may lose connection with the remote control. Then you need to reconnect the lighting with the remote control. Depending on the remote control and lighting you have, the pairing is done in different ways, enlarge this answer to read more.

TRÅDFRI REMOTE CONTROL WITH OMLOPP, STRÖMLINJE, IRSTA, MITTLED

  1. If you have the FÖRNIMMA connection cord with an on/off button, make sure it is on.
    Note that if you don't have the power button, you can ignore this step.
  2. Make sure the remote has a battery.
  3. On the driver there is a symbol for pairing, as well as by the battery on the TRÅDFRI remote control. Hold the remote control within 5 cm of the pairing symbol on the driver. Press and hold the button on the remote control for at least 10 seconds. A red light comes on on the driver and the light flashes – then the pairing is complete.
Repeat this for each driver (power supply) you have. It may take a few clicks on the remote control for the lights to react properly.
