Little Easter Sunday project for my eldest 🐣
He’s had this IKEA head light for years and kept asking if he could control it from his phone or through the Control4 system… so we made it happen.
Added a Shelly Plus RGBW PM and bypassed the original PCB, turning it into a fully smart RGB light.
Now it can be controlled via Control4, his phone, or locally using the original button, which now handles on/off, colour changes, smooth dimming, and even a night mode, none of which it had before.
Set up a few simple scenes as well, so he can switch between them from the wall keypad or his Halo remote.
Safe to say he’s pretty happy with the result 👍
