[tradfri] No reactions on Changes

Hi,
I’m trying to connect my Tradfri Bulbs to my Openhab. I configured the binding like below:

Bridge tradfri:gateway:wohnzimmer [ host="192.168.188.40", identity="xxxxxx", preSharedKey="xxxxxxx" ] {
    0220    65544       "Wohnzimmer: Lampe 1"   [ id=65544 ]
    0220    65545       "Wohnzimmer: Lampe 2"   [ id=65545 ]
    0220    65546       "Wohnzimmer: Lampe 3"   [ id=65546 ]
    0220    65547       "Küche: Lampe 1"        [ id=65547 ]
    0220    65548       "Küche: Lampe 2"        [ id=65548 ]
}

The Bulbs and Gateway shows up as connected, I can also see the state changing when I turn them off with the remote.
But when I try to change any state in OH there’s no reaction.

Any idea how to fix this?

Items file? Sitemap file? Logs?

My .items file looks like this:

Switch Kueche2    <lightbulb>     (Kueche)      { channel="tradfri:0220:wohnzimmer:65548:brightness" }

Switch Schreibtisch    <lightbulb>              { channel="tradfri:0220:wohnzimmer:65550:brightness" }

Are you trying to control this from PaperUI? If so you need to create a sitemap file, add your items, then install Basic UI via PaperUI.

I have a sitemap file with the Items. The state of the lights is always updated in Basic UI and in Paper UI, but I can’t turn the lights on/off with the switches. Theres just no reaction.

Shouldn’t that be more like

Bridge tradfri:gateway:wohnzimmer [ host="192.168.188.40", identity="xxxxxx", preSharedKey="xxxxxxx" ] {
Thing 0220 "Wohnzimmer: Lampe 1" [ id=65544 ] ...

I tried this notation, but that’s not working and is different from the notation described in the binding docs.
I did also removed my tradfri configuration, cleared cache and configured the Bridge over PaperUI with exact the same behaviour.
The switches are updating when I turn the lights out with the tradfri App, but I can’t control the lights from Paper/Basic UI.

When I try to turn the lights ON/OFF with open hab I get messages like these in the logs:

When I turn them ON/OFF with the Tradfri App I get messages like these, but the lights won’t change:
2019-11-05 21:17:20.269 [GroupItemStateChangedEvent] - Wohnzimmer changed from OFF to ON through Wohnzimmer2

2019-11-05 21:17:20.287 [vent.ItemStateChangedEvent] - Kueche1 changed from OFF to ON

2019-11-05 21:17:20.348 [vent.ItemStateChangedEvent] - Kueche2 changed from OFF to ON

I don’t have my laptop handy till Thursday. Thinking a parameter wrong in the things file.

Is yours in this format?

Tradfri 1.8.25 - offline - communication_error

And

Hello everybody,

have the same problem. I bought a Raspi 4 and installed it with the latest Openhabian release.
Tradfri Binding installed -> online
Lamps are found.
Thing created and items linked.
So far everything is fine.
In the Controlpanel I can see the item status but I cannot change it.

I hope you have a solution. Everything worked fine on my old Raspi 3 (offline) with Openhab 2.4.

@Fariac, welcome to this forum: this is an English-spoken forum, people want to help, but excluding all those that do not speak German is not the spirit of this forum. There in a German-speaking forum if you feel more comfortable with this, just search this forum for it.
Would suggest you re-write your post in English

Welcome to the community!

Create a sitemap file with your items for control. PaperUI is for configuration.

Also try restarting OH of needed.

From command line use:
sudo systemctl restart openhab2

No differenz!

Habpanel ->2020-01-04 18:32:12.447 [vent.ItemStateChangedEvent] - EsszimmerLampe1_Helligkeit changed from 0 to 72 -> lamp still dark

Ikeas Remotecontrol -> 2020-01-04 18:32:20.557 [vent.ItemStateChangedEvent] - EsszimmerLampe1_Helligkeit changed from 72 to 100 -> lamp is up

firmware Ikea Gateway 1.9.27
Lamp 1.2.217

Solved: I did not transfer the ID correctly

Could you be more spesific? Mine did work but has now all of a sudden stop working

I had similar problem. Using only paperUI the gateway keep going offline. Restarting the gateway and re-adding it in paperUI got all plugin-switches working. But the bulbs (GU10, E27, E14, normal dimming and color temperature adjustable) didn’t work properly. I could control everything from the trådfri-app and the new dimming values were updated in OH but I couldn’t control the lamps from OH (neither paperUI or sitemap).

The solution that worked for me was renaming the lamps in the trådfri-app, removing them and re-adding them in paperUI. (I did not remove them from the trådfri-app).

Versions:
OH: 2.5.3
Trådfri Gateway: 1.10.29
Lamps (which were not working correctly):
GU10 bulb: 1.2.214 (newer version is available according to “update details” v-2.3.007, but the bulb won’t update)
E27 color temperature: 2.0.023
E14: 1.2.214 (newer version available see GU10 above)
Plug-in switch (which was working correctly): 2.0.022

So far everything works but I will have to wait and see if the gateway goes offline again…
