Their smart home lights were a bit of a hassle to get going on Home Assistant (their native functionality of changing brightness/colour temperature really does not translate well), but after I found some arcane script they’ve been working fairly well.
It took a moment but I also hadn’t used home assistant before. Once they were connected I didn’t have any issues with changing colour or brightness. I heard the non-colour ones didn’t have the most satisfying colour.
I got a bunch of buttons and scrol wheels. They stay connected and always work. Wouldn’t recommend the wheel scrolling though, scroll isn’t great or well implemented due matter not supporting scroll I believe. It does always “work” though
I’m talking about the Bilresa remote. Did you get the press-and-hold and double-click functions working as they do natively? Or how did you go about configuring them.
Getting smooth dimming was nearly impossible, and I still haven’t figured out how to do colour temperature.
The press and hold and double tap work fine for me. I have set the dimming and colour every time an automation interacts with the light. Setting it centrally on the light’s page itself was not consistent. See my pictures for the configuration (hopefully they work)
IKEA’s smart home lights, sensors, and buttons seem really good! No issues with them so far after a month of use
IKEA does have some nice stuff. Though a lot of the furniture is cheap MDF sadly. Not like you could get real wood for their prices though.

Did you get the wireless on/off switch/remote with it?
I can control the light through the HA app just fine, but the switch’s functions were almost impossible to recreate.

From what I can tell that only changes it to a fixed temperature, that doesn’t cycle through in steps?
Yea, I don’t change the temperature for different times of day. I don’t like cooler whites anyway
