Hi all,
I just tried to pair multiple IKEA bulbs at once (3 bulbs in one light, so the reset will obviously reset all of them at once). I’m using ZHA with Sonoff Dongle-E. Currently only few devices, as I’m transitioning part of my network from Conbee II and Z2M.
The issue is, whenever I try to pair multiple devices at the same moment, there is a big chance it will end up with different kind of issues. Look at this for example:
3 identical bulbs, first one paired OK with all the features. It is identified as White spectrum Bulb and all looks good. The second one (middle) is missing some entities as you can see by the icons. It is identified as Color light (despite it white spektrum). The third one is identified with even less entities and again as color light.
Yesterday, I tried to pair 2 bulbs the same way in different light. It ended up the same. First one paired OK, second one mis-identified as color light with missing entities.
I remember I had these kind of issues with ZHA in the past with Conbee II, before I moved to Z2M. I thought by changing from Conbee II to more powerfull Sonoff Dongle-E, this will not repeat. But now it looks more like ZHA issue than the dongle, as I don’t remember to have such issues in Z2M.
Does anyone else have the same experience? Is it really ZHA unable to pair multiple devices at once? Or am I missing something?
At the end of the day, I can of course pair the bulbs one by one, but it’s definitely not the expected experience, to remove all bulbs and only insert by one, pair them separately, them put them all in the light at the end.
