IKEA TRÅDFRI - Wireless control outlet

The next controller is Home Assistant, we will of course also add it here. As already indicated, this plug-in works via the Zigbee protocol. So if you had a Zigbee stick you can add it. I don't own such a stick myself, but you can also add it in another way. It is possible to link the Ikea Gateway to HASS. To use this plug, you first install it on the Ikea Gateway (see here).

Step 2 is of course to log in to HASS. Then you go to the configuration section and then to integrations. The Ikea Gateway has a discovery function, so you should see the Ikea gateway immediately. You then click on configure and after some thinking I see the controller appear and the devices you have installed. And more importantly I can turn it on or off.

Installation screens:

Control:

You get an on and off switch.

Example flow:

I would like when the sun sets that the intermediate plug is turned on.
