IKEA ANSLUTA

Hello all, 

Recently I purchased a bookcase from Ikea with ANSLUTA lighting. The following products have been ordered: 
http://www.ikea.com/nl/nl/catalog/products/10260436/
http://www.ikea.com/nl/nl/catalog/products/80300764/

The ANSLUTA electronic transformer is able to be operated by the following remote control:

However, as you may expect, this is not what I want. I'd like to connect the electronic transformer with Homey, but I am not sure if this will be possible. Is anybody able to guide me through this process?  

if it's not possible to control the transformer with Homey, would it be possible to place a 'KlikAanKlikUit' dimmer between the AC and the electronic transformer?

Ansluta should be possible through the 433 radio directly (although on some places it says it uses 2,4 GHz isstead of 433 MHz). No-one has figured out the correct signals yet...

The newer ANSLUTA remote that @martijn1980 mentions is a newer version that operates using a proprietary protocol on the 2.4Ghz band. These currently cannot be used with Homey. The older ansluta remotes with multiple buttons and code switches next to the battery, use a PT2262 chip. You might have some luck with the Hema app, since those remotes use the same one.

Thanks for the quick responses. Would it be possible to place a dimmer before the electronic transformer, without ruining the device?

Maybe that

Was an another soloution. So you have an *hue* light with this product. Its not cheap but maybe an another idea for you

I'm not entirely sure about that, a simple on/off receiver should work, but dimming the lights really depends on the internal circuit, and the kind of lights.

Any update on this?

As far as I could find this is a proprietary system from IKEA comparable with fe KAKU and many others but in the ~2.4 Ghz frequency.

As Homey's RF controller can only receive/send on the most used 433/868 Mhz frequencies and Homy only uses real standards like Zigbee/Bluetooth and WiFi on the ~2.4 Ghz frequencies this  wil not work out of the box.

Only if you build an "bridge" from Homey to a fe Arduino with an CC2500 controler and an App to control lights from Homey using the bridge it could be posible.

But I guess not many people are going to do this.

Emile (one of the developers) wrote a blog a few months ago about integrating a Wemos D1 Mini and Wemos relay Switch (total costs 5 euro) that would be able to remotely 'press a button' remotely. Maybe this can be used to trigger the remote or to switch a mains relay.
