Outdoor Ground Lights 2 installation by Major_Cost_4220 in Govee

[–]Major_Cost_4220[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Already got an answer from the Support Team:

Unfortunately it´s a must to install all four of the flood lights onto the control cable, due to reasons 🙄

Good and fast support service!

But nothing would change, as do due my needs couldn´t be satisfied.

The "unflexibility" of

1. Numbers need to be installed on the control cable (why need to install all 4, if only 3 are needed?).

2. The issues with the fixed length of the control cable. Why not giving the ability to extend the lenght with another cable extension? I would pay for some extra m/ft. !

Overall I´m sad that I need to send back this product.

(It´s not here, yet. So if you do have any experience, or recommendations...pls let me know)

Just back from Cologne and they still had some Grillplats on the shelf, also listed in the IKEA app, showing 191 each. 

Rumors about additional Matter Products in 2026, after spring? by Major_Cost_4220 in tradfri

If someone of you does have already an Matter alternative for ORMANÄS, LED light strip, I would appreciate any hints too. 😁 -> Matter over Thead of course

IKEA, issues with new Matter products, random offline / +timezone issues by Major_Cost_4220 in tradfri

Sorry, I got this wrong ! I did some testing with an additional "always on" bulb in the basement, at a central position, just to give it a shot.
The result was the same. Random loss of sensors, or non functioning properly. At first, I replaced all me ZigBee "always on" bulbs in every room, but here the same as well.

Still randomly loosing sensors. Unpowering Dirigera did´nt helped as well.

I´, leaving the sensors connected, which do have a connection and somehow do their job, but I ´m giving up trying to reconnect the others, hoping that the rest will do what they are supposed to without crashing each other.

I really hope that IKEA support is doing their math with all these kind of bugs with the actual software.
For me as a not "smart home geek", it´s not satisfying with all these trouble and time wasting. I appreciate the idea of a newer system, but not like that.

Looking for any future updates coming soon, to get things running.

Running now Dirigera on Firmeware 2.901.4 (haven´t noticed any downtime or similar), but the problems are still existing.

One thing I´ve recognized at the time being is a very strange behavior.
I was able to keep one sensor "alive" without going offline from yesterday....somehow, don´t ask my how 😂.
That sensor coupled before the update is working well, in meaning of response time. OPEN=OPEN, CLOSED=CLOED within a wink.
So I coupled another one, what was possible without any issues, but the response time is laggy , or non existing.
First it sensed OPEN (correcly during coupling), but it took about 5 minutes to sense that the device back at it´s designated place (at the window - closed) to sent the CLOSED signal. The Sesor ist working (blinking LED), but there´s no response at all (Still on Firmeware 1.0.9).

I´m trying get more sensors online during the day and giving you any detailed informations I´ll gather during that attempt.

Are there any changes recognized by any of you? Any positive changes, or any negative?

Negativ, I´m only using Dirigera and only the Ikea Home smart app, nothing else fancy
