I mean IKEA is fine.
It's entirely ZigBee, there's no internet.
But the green part of RGB only works if you're using their app
Edit: downvoter, please let me know what's bothering you about this?
Really? Huh.
I'm just using the PM2.5 and temperature sensors.
Unfortunately yeah. We've tried the E27 and green just didn't work. Thought it was broken and returned it, told them why. "Oh, you used the remote, right? It only works with the app, it's been like that for years and hasn't been fixed yet"
Oh so that's just a bug rather than a feature lock.
Im only using mine in home assistant that should act as an app anyway.
No, that's just the problem. We only use ours in home assistant as well and it didn't work. It's got to be the Ikea app.
Oh okay, I'll be sure to avoid then until they fix that.
