How to control Hue Lights using the dimmer Switch IKEA Tradfri in HomeAssistant. After a very long time i bought it again: the Ikea Tradfri dimmer switch. It simply IS the most beautiful Switch out there in my mind. Also it just utilizes the Zigbee Network for communication, which makes it so interesting from a smart-home tinker side. I last bought it in 2018, back then you simply couldn’t do much with it, due to some firmware-problems which IKEA solved quite some time ago.
