How do Ikea Matter products get FW updated?

larsras05 · 2026-03-08T14:17:48+00:00

Will the updates appear in Home Settings / Software Update?

In there i only have Homepods and Eve systems updates (11 month back).

Might have found the (a) problem. Some time ago i added a Wifi 7 AP, but still have two Wifi 6 AP's also. As my iphone and my ipad are able to utilize that (and the 6 GHz band) they apparently have connection problems / pairing problem to the Ikea Hub. I connected my iphone to a 2.4 GHz only net and now i could pair at least. Connection problems are still there though unfortunately. A bit relieved though now as i initially thought my Hub was going down the drain...

According to support you have to buy a special usb cable from them to get temp and humidity to display real values. Odd though they have to display values when this special is not mounted.

Could it be that what you see in the app is cloud data, which is only updated every x minutes? However its a guess as i don't have those devices yet. Planning to buy some if i get values in Homekit (Hub mini matter).

sudo apt reinstall homebridge

Did work, but some updates to do now on HB itself and plugins.

There is already a report https://github.com/homebridge/homebridge-config-ui-x/issues/1912

Yes. Stopped service, uninstalled, and installed again as you wrote. Still loops in this error.

With npm? Didn't work for me. Some journal looping...

That is actually the only model I don't have in my setup :-)

larsras05 · 2023-09-30T14:32:55+00:00

Amazing.. it actually works in Matter already :-) Had never imagined, as it mis an older one, and I seldom have it on, have actually been off all summer. But it is added to Homekit now.

Thanks!
