Hi,

I have an idea of an addon, same as "Kodi Philips Hue" but for the Ikea Tradfri. A GitHub page say we can control Tradfri light using Python "https://github.com/ggravlingen/pytradfri"
I have absolutly no skill in Python, so i need help

Thank, and also... Sorry I'm french so... It should be hard to read

FYI; there are loads development discussion (and more links) on controlling Ikea Trådfri Gateway here:

https://github.com/bwssytems/ha-bridge/issues/570

Been thinking about buying a kit myself but have already invested to much in Philips Hue.

Jaime Jiménez have written a great teardown of Ikea Trådfri Gateway here:

http://jaimejim.github.io/tradfri/

He referenses another that good Python based framework written by Michael Koster (the main author of the data models and IPSO Objects that Ikea Trådfri uses):

https://github.com/connectIOT/iottoolkit/

If you want to know more about the wealth of data models out there you can check the IoTSI Workshop as a reference:

Thanks for all info but i'm not a developer and when I all the info it looks like I'm not ready to become one...

If some one can do it, I think it will be a great help for some people in the future.

Just equipped my home with Ikea's Trådfri System. Would love to have the possibility to control the lighting from Kodi.

Hi,
In the meantime, you can try this to control tradfri bulbs with kodi :

• Setup this hue virtual bridge on a raspberry pi and associate your tradfri bridge : https://github.com/mariusmotea/diyHue/
  
• Use Kodi ambilight hue addon
  

I managed to make the addon work with 3 tradfri bulbs with light temperature in theater mode, not tested with the color bulbs and ambilight mode.
Come back here to tell us if it works (it should...), I will try it in a near future.
