Database entry

(the device never identifies or enters the DB but does show up as touchlink device)[12/14/2025, 8:49:57 PM] z2m:mqtt: MQTT publish: topic 'zigbee2mqtt/bridge/response/touchlink/identify', payload '{"data":{"channel":11,"ieee_address":"0x00f0fd45fff65122"},"status":"ok","transaction":"9f7d9-5"}'

Zigbee2MQTT version

2.7.1

External definition

- not possible yet

What does/doesn't work with the external definition?

• not possible yet

Notes

This device seems to be both thread and zigbee compatible (matter device), and is seen as potential touchlink device, but wont get into pairing. Not sure what is blocking the pairing process...

[github-actions]

🙏 Thank you for creating this issue and sharing your external converter!

In case all features work, please submit a pull request on this repository so the device can be supported out-of-the-box with the next release.
For instructions on how to create a pull request see the docs.

If NOT all features work, please follow the How To Support new devices.

If you need help with the process, feel free to ask here and we'll be happy to assist.

This new IKEA Matter line is only marked as Zigbee compatible since it supports Touchlink which can only be used to reset the device, not the actually control it. So all new IKEA matter devices cannot be supported by z2m.

Ahh thats annoying, thanks for informing me, guess that means I need a thread dongle...

Apparently someone got the BILRESA remote connected to ZHA: Reddit?
I didn't find anyone who connected the lightbulbs though.

The pair button should work like this IIUC:

• press and hold to join Thread network
• press 4 times to pair with a light (Touchlink)
• press 8 times to join Zigbee network?

I bought KAJPLATS E14 RGB light bulb today (406.085.72) and was not able to pair it with z2m. But then I started experimenting with it. Six on-off cycles (12 clicks) put the device in what seems to be a pairing mode when the light bulb blinked a few times with cold white light, but still wasn't able to pair. Then I repeated the reset cycle, but put the light bulb next to the coordinator where it successfully paired. The device is marked as unknown in Z2M but lets you fully control it. The generated configuration in dev. console looks like that:

export default {
    zigbeeModel: [''],
    model: '',
    vendor: '',
    description: 'Automatically generated definition',
    extend: [m.light({"colorTemp":{"range":[153,555]},"color":true})],
};

This is awesome! Thank you @r-vit 🙂
@Koenkk please re-open

[andrei-lazarov]

@r-vit Can you interview + reconfigure again, then see if you get the model and vendor names in the external definition?
Also please share the database.db entry for the bulb.

[r-vit]

Re-interviewing an reconfiguring the device doesn't change anything, unfortunately.

The database.db entry looks like that:

I also have 3 of those working in my network, but I think it's not 6 times but 12 times for the ZigBee mode, but not sure, and for me two of them paird without being close too the coordinator.

yep, that is exactly what I posted - 6 off-on cycles, 12 clicks :)

great that it works without being next to the coordinator - maybe my network is simply overloaded and it wouldn't pair on the routers for some reason

[thmedia2]

no note quite what I meant, I mean 12 cycles, but really not sure. It was the last one that was playing up, so I tried several times with 6 cycles, but with that it would just blink and not pair, after a try with I think 12 cycles it paird.

This was inspiring so I ran a series of tests with the https://www.ikea.com/se/sv/p/kajplats-led-ljuskaella-e27-806-lumen-smart-vitt-spektrum-klar-globformad-30611481/ with ZHA on Skyconnect.
Unfortunately, there were never any signs of pairing attempts.
I tried the on-off procedures 4,5,...12 cycles and several times each and also tried with keeping the bulb close to the skyconnect. Even tried while trying to touchlink pair the remote. 100% out of luck.
At 6 cycles, the bulb indicates reset by entering the flashing sequence, that doesn't happen at any other number of cycles.

So, is it ZHA, skyconnect or the bulb?
