Were you able to directly access the VINDSTYRKA vias zigbee?
Or do you have to talk to it through IKEA's hub? I've fancied one of these for a while, but don't fancy another hub.
It connects directly to my Silicon Labs Zigbee/Zwave combo stick. That's the great thing about Zigbee, you aren't stuck on someone's hub.
That is indeed good news! I'd held off buying IKEA's stuff previously, as I thought it had to go through their gateway. Thanks!
I finally migrated my Hue bulbs over recently (previously, I had bad information), and direct control is so much nicer. Plus, they work as repeaters.
