A tool to control LIFX lights with IKEA TRÅDFRI switches without needing something like Home Assistant.
- Wireless dimmer
- Remote control
- SYMFONISK Sound remote (would work well as a dimmer switch)
This uses the same ZigBee gateway solution as zigbee2mqtt so should work with all adapters supported by zigbee2mqtt.
Currently this tool has only been tested with a Texas Instruments CC2531 with this firmware flashed with this utility using a Raspberry Pi Zero W.
To use other adapters, see the zigbee2mqtt supported adapters documentation and cross your fingers that it works with this tool.
| Variable | Required/Optional | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| DONGLE | REQUIRED | Path to CC2531 dongle (e.g. /dev/ttyACM0) |
- |
| GROUPIDS | OPTIONAL | List of LIFX LAN Group IDs to whitelist (separate with commas - no comma if just one ID) | "" |
| JOIN_PERIOD | OPTIONAL | Number of seconds following start when zigbee devices are permitted to join | 60 |
| DB_PATH | OPTIONAL | Path to zigbee database | ./zigbee.db |
All variable names must be prefixed with
TRADFRI_LIFX_, e.g:DONGLE=TRADFRI_LIFX_DONGLE.
See templates/.env.example for examples of each environment variable.
This will eventually be simplified with docker-compose.
