I totally missed this but basically you have to just put the bulbs in pairing mode–6 on and off (note that it has to be with 1 second pauses between each on/off cycle–that threw me off).
But after that it will show up as a zigbee device same as any–no IKEA hub required
Same but with Ikea Trådfri bulbs
Do you gig often? Does your geography have a big scene for the genres you play?
I find that what I like to play doesn’t typically jibe with the more prominent genres being played around town, but I don’t really gig for anything other than friends’ parties or parties I help throw.
