minus-square@Lhianna@feddit.delinkfedilinkEnglish2•edit-29 months agoBut 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?
minus-square@cooopsspace@infosec.publinkfedilinkEnglish2•9 months agoReally? Huh. I’m just using the PM2.5 and temperature sensors.
minus-square@Lhianna@feddit.delinkfedilinkEnglish2•9 months agoUnfortunately 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”
minus-square@cooopsspace@infosec.publinkfedilinkEnglish1•9 months agoOh 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.
minus-square@Lhianna@feddit.delinkfedilinkEnglish1•9 months agoNo, 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.
minus-square@cooopsspace@infosec.publinkfedilinkEnglish1•9 months agoOh okay, I’ll be sure to avoid then until they fix that.
