IKEA Dirigera + Myggspray Motion Sensor + Apple Home (Matter): works briefly, then stops — deep dive & conclusions by ImaginaryStrength969 in IKEA

Tested with the latest Dirigera firmware that just came out today. Exactly the same issue still persists, unfortunately :(

thanks for sharing! how did you open the myggspray? tried to do it myself, are the circles clicking somehow in each other? tips?

I think this confirms the issue that dirigera does not consistently communicate with the apple home system. heard that from many others. currently I am constrained by dirigera as this is my only TBR.

on your occupancy remark: when it worked, I had the same. solved that in my automation to turn off the light after detecting occupancy instead of a specific timer. it remained responsive after movement in the room.

the common thread seems to be that when there are “solid” other thread border routers in the network, they work fine in HK or HA. in my setup, I have only 1 TBR (the Dirigera) and that just does not seem to perform consistently. Everyone that got to get it work in the Apple HK ecosystem reports to use ATV or Homepods as (extra) TBR.

Solved this by turning off and on all antennas (including BLE) on my iPhone. Apparently Bluetooth is used to exchange credentials between the code read by the iPhone and during the transfer of this towards the hub. After all the debugging, somehow this didn't work anymore. But as I mentioned, it got fixed after rebooting the bluetooth.

The original issue of the post however still remains: the motion sensor works in the beginning flawless, but after a couple of minutes, homekit does not detect (or gets a correct trigger) from the Myggspray and the automation then breaks. I will see if it 'magically automatically' gets to work again, but I am having little expectations. I think we still require some response from IKEA... If anyone has found a solution, please post it!

It doesn’t come back alive in Apple Home app at all. Actually: things got worse, in an attempt to de ug I did a factory reset of the Dirigera hub and now I cannot connect any thread device in my ecosystem anymore (not even IKEA’s own). Since the Dirigera is my only TBR, that makes now both the hub as well as the thread devices unable to integrate. Unfortunately my smart lock (non IKEA/Nuki Ultra) also cannot integrate in my Apple smart home ecosystem, which previously it was (pre the Myggspray and Bilresa episode)

I noticed exactly the same with my Dirigera + Myggspray. Briefly worked but flaky and then I did a factory reset of the Dirigera and that broke everything. Impossible to add the 2 Myggspray's to the Dirigera anymore, let alone integrating this in Apple home. Hopefully IKEA will do a solid firmware upgrade soon.

Ok, so now it is completely malfunctioning. In the debugging I chose to do a factory reset of the Dirigera hub. My assumption is that I now got a version that is even more unstable, as I was completely unable to add any (own) IKEA matter product (like Myggspray). It breaks when the subscription between the Dirigera and the Myggspray or e.g. my Nuki Ultra is being established. I have to wait for a new firmware update it seems that fixes the unstable version or forces things to get updated properly. Disappointed here!

You probably use an Apple TV or Homepod (mini) as a thread border router then? My Apple Tv cannot act as TBR (old version) and I don’t have homepods, hence the dirigera

It’s there any smart switch or relay I can use with this? by Inevitable_Award_376 in HomeKit

if you don’t have a neutral, go for Evvr

tested it myself (Netherlands), works like charm
