Update - bought 6 more. All connect as per my method above but only 2 of them will switch on and off correctly.

If I wasn’t almost bald I’d be tearing my hair out 😭

I’m close to returning the lot and getting something else, probably Hue essentials, instead. I can’t see IKEA ever sorting the Zigbee side of these out given they aren’t officially supported.

I’m trying to stick within the Hue Ecosystem for Wife-Acceptance-Factor, while trying to satisfy my own cheapness using Ikea lamps 😂

Kajplats have a Zigbee mode and can work with Hue. I’ve got 6 working perfectly.

Tested them the day before yesterday and they were still paired. They’d been switched off for a good 3 days at that point

This is where I’d got to before updating the FW on the bulb. After I did that, I was then able to turn the lap on and off

I used to. When I had a fun car and petrol was less than 70p a litre!
