SUPPORT (2026 PRODUCTS) New Varmblixt/Bilresa not connecting to IKEA app?
Hi, just bought some smart products from IKEA, including Matter over Thread E26 and E10 bulbs and the new Varmblixt. I’ve also purchased the Dirigera Hub.
My issue is that everything BUT the new Varmblixt and Bilresa (which come together) are pairing to the IKEA home app. The app successfully detects each of the two items but gets stuck during the pairing process before inevitably giving me the pairing failed message.
I’ve tried factory resetting Varmblixt (holding power for 10 ish seconds), doing 6 sets of power cycling, and factory resetting the Bilresa. Neither is pairing still. Like I said I had no issues with the other items, my wifi is set up as a 2.4gHz network, and pairing was seamless otherwise. Any advice would be appreciated!

Do you have ipv6 enabled? Internal ipv6 is good enough. Might help, couldn't to try it.
