This is a continuation of my recent post about migrating my TRÅDFRI stuff to Home Assistant. As I wrote in that one, it’s important to note that you will be forced to factory reset all your bulbs, switches, dimmers, etc. meaning all your settings will be wiped. It is annoying to redo all settings and all labels in Home Assistant but it’s not in any way impossible.

What is worth noting, and potentially very complicated, is how you factory reset them.

TRÅDFRI short cut button

To reset this button, unscrew the back of it and push the button next to the Bluetooth pairing symbol four times. So far I’ve connected one such button to Home Assistant and it worked without any complications.

Lightbulbs

The TRÅDFRI bulbs needs to be turned off and on five times in quick succession. So far, also not a problem for me.

LED Drivers

Here is where I’m running into trouble. To reset the LED Drivers I need to press a small button on the driver itself, using for instance a paper clip. It is by no means hard to do, but a couple of my drivers are wall-mounted behind cabinets, meaning I have a stimulating afternoon ahead of me.
