Great moment in time to bring back the Myrvarv led strip!

u/cbs_ 23h ago

Best strip ever. Bought a bunch when I heard they were going šŸ™

too bad no color changing features with this ...

u/Shadowbajfeelsbadman 21h ago

There are new light strips supposed to come out this year

I have a single LED light strip on a smart plug, which I keep at the lowest level. Would it make sense to replace the smart plug with this? The LED light strip is a Kabbleka, that I can unplug from its power switch and it has a connector that is compatible with the Dubbelkisel.

u/frtzmxm 1d ago

For me yes, you get fade when on/off, and also dimming. Depends what you need ofc.

u/quick_dry 12h ago

I run my kableka strips on this, save the plug for something else.

I also prefer that you donā€™t get a relay thunk noise when this turns on/off (and I can use different brightness - dim for accent and full for a full lighting scenario)

1

u/Double-Yak9686 11h ago

I have only one strip, which runs up the stairs along the baseboard, so the relay click doesn't really matter that much. I have it at the lowest brightness so it's not blinding.

2

u/quick_dry 10h ago

Ahh, I have one in the kitchen so itā€™s like a motion night light, and one in the ensuite so itā€™s just enough light when you go to the bathroom without blinding (or throwing light onto the other person sleeping)

I like the soft ā€œonā€

u/Hairy-Association636 1d ago

Any word on when it'll be in stock? I'll return my Tradfri & replace it with this.

1

u/stefanbayer 1d ago

I hope it will be available in Germany soon too.

u/medemander20 1d ago

Hopefully with less coil whine than the only drivers...

u/Skyman81 16h ago

butā€¦ can each channel be independent or is everything controlled by a single switch?

1

u/Zi05 16h ago

If it works as the old zigbee driver it's all one channel. But if you have it inte the kitchen or something and control multiple leds in the same cupboard you only want one anyway. It supports dimming as compared to a smart plug that's only on and off.

The price has gone up to 300SEK now.

u/Former_Intern_8271 1d ago

What is this device for?

7

u/RadVarken 1d ago

It's a Matter replacement for the old version of this. An LED driver.

u/Former_Intern_8271 1d ago

What are the LEDs for?

u/RadVarken 1d ago

Thanks.

1

u/fishymanbits 1d ago

Everything that connected to the Tradfri LED driver. All of the integrated lighting products.

1

u/Former_Intern_8271 1d ago

Oh so like, the wardrobe LEDs?

u/Shadowbajfeelsbadman 20h ago

Iā€™m gonna keep an eye on this, but pairing the matter over thread products have been a little troublesome. Gonna wait for some reviews to come out.

1

u/Michal-- 1d ago

Got it over month now. No problems so far. Itā€™s paired via a gateway, so thereā€™s a noticeable delay when turning on the light. The previous TrĆ„dfri power supply was connected directly to the remote and worked instantly. Also I preferred the old, small TrĆ„dfri remote over the current Bilresa model.

1

u/bobjoylove 22h ago

Good to know. I have about 6 of the Zigbee TRADFRI, and two of them keep falling off the hub and need to be reset with a needle which is frustrating

1

u/frtzmxm 21h ago

That's weird, I've had excellent experience with tradfri drivers, on Tradfri and Dirigera hub, also in Home Assistant.

1

u/bobjoylove 17h ago

I think itā€™s because Iā€™m using switched power (they are the closet lights) and eventually they drop off the network. Takes a few months and itā€™s annoying to re-pair as I need to get to the driver which is in the attic.

u/frtzmxm 16h ago

buy a cheap remote and don't cut power then

u/katze_sonne 1d ago

Can we please talk about the names? I cannot remember any of them. Itā€™s so annoying and complicated.

3

u/brupgmding 1d ago

The names are specially chosen to make them easier to remember by Ingmar Kamprand (IKEA Founder), because he had dyslexia.

1

u/katze_sonne 1d ago

So which one is MYGGBETT, MYGGSPRAY, GRILLPLATS etc.?

Dan you remember which of these is which device type?

Honestly "Tradfriā€œ had the advantage that you knew every Tradfri device was Zigbee Ikea Smarthome.

2

u/brupgmding 1d ago

MYGGBETT -> Window Sensor (close window to avoid mygge, moskitos)

MYGGSPRAY -> Presence Sensor (sees moving moskito)

GRILLPLATS -> Plug (switch my electric grill on/off)

1

u/katze_sonne 22h ago

Oof. That's far fetched. But without the descriptions, I feel like it's hard to remember. Especially considering the outdoor plug is called TOFSMYGGA. Which would fit the electric grill scenario way better.

And what about Dubbelkisel? Which mnemonic do you have for that?

2

u/buthidae 19h ago

It drives twice as many lights as a regular Kisel

1

u/brupgmding 20h ago

No idea. Other manufacturers are not better though

1

u/katze_sonne 18h ago

I knowā€¦ but they had a much more intuitive lineup before. Like "Tradfri Plugā€œ and so onā€¦ now itā€˜s honestly frustrating to just find them on the ikea website.

1

u/brupgmding 16h ago

Search for matter and select smart home category.Ā 

1

u/katze_sonne 4h ago

Ok, the smart home filter was what I didn't see. It's also quite hidden tbh. My go to way normally would be selecting one of the products and then browsing the category. Just that there's the problem that the smart home category also still contains the Zigbee stuff. Annoying. Your way works, though. Thanks!

1

u/Shadowbajfeelsbadman 13h ago

I dunno i find it easy to remember most of the names of the things i'm looking for, or at least know that the product i'm looking for is that right when i see the name

u/timcatuk 1d ago

The Ikea smart home stuff is just too cheap now.
Obviously I like not paying much if it works well, but Iā€™ve not had a good experience so far with their new stuff.
If it was twice the price to build in better quality, it would still be great value.

1

u/Shadowbajfeelsbadman 20h ago

Then you'd be hitting the area where people start looking for alternatives.

Ikea has basically claimed the entire budget smart device range to themselves with only real issues being software level

u/egbee42 1d ago

Now to wait for the ZigBee devices to go on sale... Thanks for the post
