I'm happy to report that the smart plug, lightstrip and e14 bulb have been paired to home assistant. I used my Conbee 2 stick with deCONZ and the phoscon UI. Reset the devices back to factory and remember to forget them from the Lidl app. Then run the scan under Lights, yes even the smart plug is under lights.
Any luck with the motion sensor or the door/windows sensor? I was able to pair the bulb but not the other devices.
@@Refugado Hi Luis! Haven’t got those devices!
@@SmartHomeMakers the led strips do i need a gate way or is there a remote and what does it mean by voice control
@@ronanduffy6566 Hi Ronan, yes you need a gateway
@@ronanduffy6566 i already have a hue hub which the lidl stuff connects to easily.
I also have a smart things hub and it also can see and connect to the led strip.
So in my case the lidl hub was not needed.
If you link the hue or smart things skill on your alexa or google app then you can control those devices with you voice.
All of my lights have an added switch ( hue dimmer) for each room so the lights can also be operated like normal.
Routines and automations can sometimes delay or fail.
The added switches give back normal control and stopsyou shouting rude words at alexa, so often 😅
Only using the app or voice seems smart until something doesn't activate.
Then you start shouting bad words at alexa or google..
You never know what you're going to get with UA-cam's algorithm but this time they've got bang-on because I'm not just a regular at Aldi's but I'm also looking for a 'cheap' new smart light setup for my friend who was so impressed with my setup (click on the red dragon twice to view) that he asked me if I could look into sorting it out for him and as you are probably aware Philip hue lights are very expensive! so I'm extremely thankful that you decided to demonstrate and post this video! Cheers mate from a new subscriber
Thanks Buddy!
LIDL not Aldi 😂
Great video straight forward and easy to follow for us non tech viewers who buy these products. Cheers Liam. 😊
Thanks Liam for the kind words
Nice one! Thanks for your help 👍🏼
Glad it was useful!
Thank you this helped very well thanks
I recommend the plug and bulb both works perfectly and connected to our google like a charm 👍😁
Thanks for sharing
I bought some of these the other day.. I use a CC2531 and the Zigbee2MQTT add-on. They all worked without issue in Home Assistant.
Hopefully they will pass the test of time!
Hello man!! About the gateway can I use a different outlet for my Gateway? if so can I just use a Charger USB Adapter for it? My country doesn't have the same outlet and I ordered it from UK to Sweden so that's why I am asking
These work very well, and your video help a great deal.
Much appreciated!
Hey there, I have a Phillips Hue Bridge, basically the same as the this gateway. Would I still need to but the gate way to use the LED strips or will they work just in the HUE?
Hiya! I have subs commenting that they got it paired without the Lidl gateway, check some of the comments and try to ping them!
Have about 10 of these plugs and they paired in to conbee2 within seconds and have worked reliably in home assistant 👍🏻
Me too! They work really well!
@@SmartHomeMakers I have bought one of these plugs recently and I'm using a cc2531 instead of a conbee2 with zha but I can not seem to pair it. What should I do?
@@Gloggles have you checked if other people have got it to work with that stick? Possible update the firmware?
@@SmartHomeMakers I have seen a few others use this USB stick and I think it is flashed with the latest firmware
Do you know if the light strip is suitable under kitchen cupboards? Or if they are water, moisture proof ?
There is a silicon wrapping around the led, some led strip from Amazon are bear. Have not seen a specific IP rating
Hello, do I need a gateway to connect it to my phone?
Can the smartplug work as a "router" range extender in the zigbee mesh?
Bought some bulps yesterday, and THEY ARE AWESOME :D
Indeed! The colour version has a really good price, what automation platform are you using ?
@@SmartHomeMakers If I understood your question correctly, I am using the Lidl's own bridge, app, and bulps! I have only tried them a little bit so far, but going to install all of them today :)
@@SmartHomeMakers I've got a question for you too. How are the bulps paired together, so I could just control one, and all bulps change color etc.?
@@RealLagu you can create groups in the app!
@@SmartHomeMakers ok, great and thanks for the info :)
hey so if i buy just the lightbulb can i connect it to my phone or do i need to buy a gateway or plug for it to work?
You either need a zigbee gateway or the Lidl gateway, with Lidl you can then download an app called Lidl home
Thanks for the video. I just ordered a few Lidl devices. I just have one question. I would like to pair it with a Aqara montion senor. Would that work?
Hi Steven! Indeed that is what I use ! Got them to work thanks to home assistant :)
@@SmartHomeMakers maybe something to show in your next video ;)
Lokks very interesting. What about a gateway? What else it can do? It looks it has a speaker, can be music casted to it? Or does it integrate an asistant (like google nest mini)?
Hi Jakub, you can't use the gateway as a speaker but you can integrate into google ecosystem :)
What kind of other gateways are compatible with these devices?
Nice vid, I bought the starters kit and the led strip was easy to find. But the app will not see any of the light bulbs. What to do?
Turn on / off for three times in a row until they flash
Hey, great video. If you have a google home do you still need the reciever from lidl?
Hi woutjedvdv! Yes you do unless you are using another zigbee gateway like I do with home assistant and conbee II or the philips hue bridge
@@SmartHomeMakers okay thanks for the reaction 👍
I just became your 1000 subscriber! Thanks for doing this video on the Lidl Smart Home devices
Much appreciated it :)
Hi I brought a led strip light and a silver crest gateway , do you need the smart plug to work with my Google mini
To integrated into google mini you are going to need the Lidl gateway
Thanks for the video, what do you think of the colour changing bulb?
Hi Chris, I think they are really good value for money. The lifx has more lumens at around 1100 but costs much more
@@SmartHomeMakers Thanks for the reply. I read elsewhere that the lumens were possibly lower than some other more expense brands, but nonetheless as you say they are good value. Thanks again really useful video!
Thanks for very helpful video. Is the LAN the only way to connect the hub to the router? Could the hub connect to the router wirelessly?
Yes, the lan is the only way!
@@SmartHomeMakers Thanks for your reply.
Do you know what the lumens are on the lightstrip? Even the box looks very similar to the hue stuff.
Hi Danny! I had a look at the booklet can’t find any reference to Lumens which is disappointing. It does have 108 led buld
@@SmartHomeMakers many thanks for the reply! Do you know if these can be cut and reattached with right angle connectors, such as the 6 pin litcessory stuff that work with hue?
Question, would like to know if you can just pair this to your hue hub due to zigbee integration? Or is this a no no, also it says Google but I gather that doesn't allow for Alexa?
Google works, there are people that got it to work with hue! With Alexa hub, I don't think it will work
lights work with hue hub natively. single power devices work with smartthings natively. Multi-way adaptor needs a custome device handler which can be added via the IDE otherwise it only sees it as one socket rather than 3.
Do you need the gateway to change the colour of the light strip or can you just use a Google home?
Indeed! Or you can integrate it into another zigbee gateway like I do with home assistant
Hi .will this Led strip works with smart plug only,or I have to get the smart unit(gateway)?
To use smart features you would need them :)
Hello, are you satisfied with SilverCrest products? Does it work stable?
It is a good budget product
Do you need the the smart plug to for the strip lights?
Just the hub :)
Hii! I got both led strips connected, but i cannot do the same colour at the same time... is it possible to do that?
did you try to group them together?
Hi there! Thanks for the video! I’ve just bought the spotlights with a remote controller but didn’t buy the hub. So I installed the lights but they are constantly flashing in cold blue white. Does it mean that I cannot use those lights without the hub?
Thanks for your answer 🙏
Hi Ekaterina! Unfortunately yes, however if you do have a hue bridge or an Alexa with zigbee then you can try and pair them to that devices. I don’t use the gateway as I use home assistant with a usb zigbee stick called conbee II
@@SmartHomeMakers thank you so much! I’ll buy the hub then as I don’t have any home assistance yet. Your video and reply was very helpful!
@@ekaterinadejong154 Have a great 2021!
I guess the color stuff won't work with the Echo. I have the new Echo Plus with integrated zigbee and I wasn't able to switch to colors, only could change the white temperatures...
@@SmartHomeMakers I have found that the lidl gateway is giving sharper, brighter and more accurate color lights than Hue.
I have got Livarno Smart home starter kit, which requires setup through lidl home application. That application is not available in UAE on both play and app stores.
Is there any workaround to set up the gateway, light bulbs and sockets?
I have the same issue here, and I am living in Iraq. The required app is not available either.. 😢
@@Philiopantheon82u can change the region of your store and get the app easily…
That's great, can't wait for them to work natively with conbee II, please update us if you get to know.
Cheers
Will do!
I can confirm they work with conbee II using Home assistant.
... and me, no issues at all.
Cheers guys, does that go to all of them? Manning the bulbs, stitches, strips sponsors?
@@drreality1 I've only got the 13A socket and 2m light strip but I'm guessing that they are conforming to the Zigbee specs so looks promising.
With them being ZigBee enabled, will they connect with my existing Philips Hue Bridge?
Hi Dan, I haven't tried it but some of my subs have managed to get it working :)
Does anyone know if there is a wireless on/off button switch by some other manufacturer, which would work with the Lidl app and the Lidl gateway? Tried with IKEA Trådfri E1743, but the app did not find it. Would like to control the smart plug also without a phone.
I'm now using an Ikea button got it for £6 in clearance!
Do you have to have the gateway box to Activate - start The light
To activate Lidl scenes you need to hub. To turn it on and off from other home automation solutions you don’t :)
What L shape connectors have people used? I've bought some from Amazon but the red doesn't seem to travel? Any tips? 😊
Sorry Allen, don't have much experience on this one, hopefully some else can jump in!
@@SmartHomeMakers might have a go at soldering... I don't know how people manage with the actual Phillips Hue strips, £15 was nerve wrecking enough to cut and fail!
Is the gateway able to be powered via POE?
No ,but would have been cool!
Is there a way to connect the Lidl Dimmer Switch to the Philipps Hue Bridge?
Hi David! You can use Home assistant for this, checkout my free HA course (free to use) :)
Can anyone help? I bought a floor lamp without reading that you need a gateway and the lidl home app. Then I just bought a random zigbee 3.0 wireless gateway. But when I was about to connect it to the Lidl home app, I noticed it says something like "connect it via a lan cable". Is a gateway with LAN required?
Hi Hevel, if you are passionate about smart home I would start home assistant! It will be a lifetime hobby for sure:)
Please help, i bought gateway and when it says “Adding device” then it can’t scan device or something. I always get some problem. Both indicator are green i am close to the gateway and wifi is good. I don’t know what is the problem.
Is the gateway connected via the lan cable ?
I have a question for the leds does it also work with the gateway?
Yep it does!
Ok thank you so much !
Hey so I bought the led lights and I can't connect I didn't buy the gateaway do I have to buy it or ??
Yes you need the gateway unless you are using another zigbee hub. Do you have a Philips Hue or Alexa or home assistant ? Merry Xmas!
So you need the the lab cable or can you use it wireless
*Lan
Indeed the lan cable
I really hope that they bring out some motion and open/close sensors too
They are already available, at least in Portugal...
Still waiting in the UK
Tomorrow is smart home day at lidl..
Stocks of their smart home gear is back!
Hi Tsunami! What will you be picking up ?
@@SmartHomeMakers some extra plugs for sure!
They work simply with hue and smart things, ( so also both voice assistants ) so perfect for my setup 👌
Maybe an extra led strip to keep for future ideas.
@@tsunamitube3351 Awesome! On another note I found out that Shelly have a new motion sensor have you ever used shelly devices before?
@@xMaTTx89I haven't tried them no, but have heard good things.
I seen Paul Hibberts video on their new motion sensor, one that can trigger alexa routines.
There are already some at half the cost that can do this, I forget the brand now but i will find a link and come back to add it.
i just bought a ambiance light, do i need this gateway?
Hi Maurice, if you need the smart features you will need the gateway!
what is the app called to control the
livarno lux smart 2m LED strip
Lidl smart home !
Do you need the lidl hub? Or i can just buy the devices and use my google nest mini?
You might be able to pair them up! Give it a try!
@@SmartHomeMakers aa I thought you had tried it as by coincidence lidl have it this week and thought I could avoid buying the zigbee gateway and just use products directly with the google assistant
Hej. Router have to be connected to Internet or it can work without it?
Probably easier to leave your router on
Can you use the other devices without the gateway and if so can you show us how
I have an other video on my channel where I show how I use these devices without the gateway :)
Does the smart plug work in HA as a Zigbee repeater?
Hi Leith, sorry have not tested this !
These are Zigbee, so they work with home assistant out of the box - you simply need to have a gateway that has access to HA or a HA OS board with a Zigbee Tx/Rx module.
Working really well so far!
I'm wanna buy the Lidl smart lamps but how easy is it to set up with Google home Assistant?
Hey mate. I've got a question. I want to have wireless switch. Like normal wall switch working with zigbee. Can I connect that switch to smart plug? So I can turn on some light that are not smart just being plugged in to the smart plug. Thanks a lot!
Yes you can do that! What automation platform are you using ?
@@SmartHomeMakers I've got few plugs with smart life atm. Just planning to buy xiaomi aqara, or sonoff. Don't know exactly what is the best one. Any advices?
I made a few videos on aqara sensors and sonoff light switches, both have been working good so far
@@SmartHomeMakers but can you use them together through zigbee? Like all in one smart home? For example one gateway and many different types of switches sensors etc?
I use home assistant with a zigbee usb stick called conbee II in that way I can integrate many products like aqara and sonoff
Quite happy with these devices! Next step is home assistant integration any tips ? :)
Deconz :p
@@ryangeorge4584 I will try with the conbee II stick:)
@@SmartHomeMakers its still only on the beta version afaik
It should be supported on zigbee2mqtt 😃

I grabbed a couple of the sockets today and they worked out the box with my Smartthings hub . No need to change DTH or anything.
Today I was tempted to go back and buy more kit from Lidl:)
@@SmartHomeMakers yeah I think I may do aswel . Definitely grab another socket to chuck in the cupboard and would like to see if I can get the RGBW light strip to integrate with smartthings.
@@chrisbarter Let me know how it goes! I still have the original smart things hub running in my media cabinet
Will do. I've currently got Lightwave , Hue and a Smartthings hub screwed to the wall next to my data cab.
Been trying to find an rgb strip to try but they're sold out everywhere near me . Got a few more sockets though
Hello those the bulbs work with alexa?
not out of the box
How do you switch on the led lights?
Hi Betty, if you turn on the power or just plug them in they will turn on (with a default colour) You can use the app (lidl home) with their gateway to do automations and change colours etc.
Can these work via Google Assistant without the Lidl Gateway? I have the Hue Bridge and don't fancy another Hub/Gateway
If you pair it with the hue bridge and then sync it with the hue google integration should work! Haven’t tried it myself
@@SmartHomeMakers How do you pair it again? My Google assistant see's all my Hue bulbs OK and the Lidl bulbs show up in the Hue App OK, but not in Google Assistant App, any help would be appreciated.
Hi David, have you tried re syncing the integration (works with google)
@@SmartHomeMakers Hi, Yes done that and all ok now. Thanks for the help.
Smart life or Tuya app, will find most ZigBee hubs and devices. All Lidl smart device's and app is made by Tuya.
If you don't have gateway you cannot connect your led strips to phone?
Hiya not really, these are Zigbee devices and not wifi. They need a gateway that is then connected to the internet (network)
Can you show how to reset a lamp please?
Do I really need gateway to operate smart plug. If No how to operate?
Hi Abe! I use the devices without the lidl gateway with home assistant an automation platform. I have a free course that you can take to learn more about it!
Does the smart plugs work with Alexa ?
Some have mentioned that it can work with Alexa with zigbee hub integrated, check the comment section for more info!
But i did not get the gateway by the ledstrip but still how to connect?
You do need a zigbee gateway (some Alexa devices can work too)
The idea is nice but why would you control these stuff remotely? How many times do u actually need this system?
Hi Dyski! Home automation give you the ability to control devices without you doing anything :)
Can i buy just the bulb without the gateway and still control it with the app?
Hi Eightlegs, you can use it as a normal bulb without smart functionality. I don't use the gateway because I use home assistant. Some people have been able to pair the bulb with Alexa too
@@SmartHomeMakers thanks I was wondering whether I could just buy the bulb and control the colours on the app but apparently not so thank you anyway mate
With these being Zigbee, would they work with the Alexa echo 4th gen ?
Hi Craig, I haven't tried myself but if you check the comments down below people have got it to work :)
I have 2 plugs and an RGB bulb working directly with an Echo plus gen2 (with built in Zigbee hub). Plugs work fine, bulb has 5x white colours and15x RGB colours other than the millions of colours available using a seperate hub, which suits me fine.
@@TomTapping Thanks for sharing Tom!
Does the hub support the 5gh or must it be on 2.4 ghz
The hub connects to the internet with an Ethernet cable and the gives connect to the gateway with zigbee 3.0
Does the fact that the gateway connects via ethernet mean the WiFi type 5ghz or 2.4 doesn't matter?
How can you connect to the light strips on android
Hi Working Fries, you need the Lidl Gateway and download the Lidl app
Hi, did anyone find how many devices the gateway support? And can you add it to smart life app? Thanks a lot
Let me know if you find out!
Thousands following Zigbee standard.
@@tvnsi8556The standard is one thing and the device limit is another, for example sonoff zigbee bridge limit is 50, moes tuya wired is 300 while the wireless one is 50.
Wich app you user for smart led light strip?? (smart home livarno lux)

Yaay! Now US Google and Chinese Tuya knows exactly when I go to the toilet and how long I'm there
Potentially even more that! Do you use a loyalty card? If so they also know what brand of toilet paper you use
What app do i need for the smart plug
Hi Patrick! The Lidl home app:)
were do i find the username and password for lidl home so can set up google home ?
When you setup the Lidl app you should have created an account :)
Although I haven't tried it the Lidl app looks just like the smart life app and I've seen a video that says they will pair with the smart life app so you can reduce the number of smart apps you need as the smart life app works with so many different manufacturers. They also pair directly with our Echo show so any echo device with a built in hub will connect to these even though they don't say Alexa compatible.
Ooh good to know about echo integration! I wonder why they don’t advertise it
@@SmartHomeMakers It doesn't have a Lidl Home skill but if you pair them directly to the echo in bulti hub or through smart life app they will work. Lidl probably don't highlight is as they want you to use their app as T&Cs allow them to send you marketing.
@@danformallyohg8407 can you explain how to do this using the echo please. Have just bought the light strip but unsure where to start. Cheers
@@hackney83 which echo have you got it has to be one of the echos with the built in hub. Once it is powered tell alexa to discover devices and it will search for new devices but on the echos with the built in hub like echo show and full echo. The dots don't have a zigbee hub.
@@danformallyohg8407 yes I'm using the full echo. I have a number of bulbs of differing brands already set up using zigbee. I do not own any other hubs such as the hue or google nest so I know my echo has zigbee. I just can't seem to connect this strip to it. How can I make it discover able?
What app are you using?
Lidl smart home !
Should be able to connect to any Zigbee gateway... but sadly not the case. At least, not if your gateway is an Amazon Echo. The plug was detected and added - but only got a "not responding" error when I tried to do anything with it. Quick Google indicated I was not alone, so it all went back the following day.
Hi Ralph! Sorry to hear about that, I have had some users commenting that it does work with Alexa hub, have not tested it myself. Whereas with google it integrates fine
You need to have an Echo Plus 2nd Gen, Echo Show 10" 2nd Gen, Echo Studio or Echo 4th Gen. These are the only Echo devices that have ZigBee Hub built in and the Lidle devices will connect to it in order to allow you to use them with Alexa
@@immis8894 I have an Echo 4th Gen and my other Zigbee devices work fine through it. The Lidl smart plug was detected and showed as a switch, but any attempt to do anything with it said the device was not responding. I did a quick Google and found that the Silvercrest Smart Home devices from Lidl were known not to work with Amazon Alexa. There might be ways of getting it working, but I couldn't be bothered, so it went back, along with the other devices I bought, but didn't unbox. I certainly wasn't going to go through the hassle of fitting a light fixture to the ceiling to find it also didn't respond.
which app we should use to connect to smart plug ?
Lidl App!

Hi Catherine, yep either to the router or switch or Ethernet port in the wall
@@SmartHomeMakers Thanks, that is a shame, the only downside?
True, on the flip side adding a wireless chip would have increased the cost and price :)
Using a tasmota flashed Sonoff Hub with Zigbee on Home Assistant can confirm E27 and E14 bulbs working
Fantastic! How do you compare the bulbs with other smart bulbs ?
@@SmartHomeMakers Very good actually, equally as good as Philips Hue and Innr, in fact the E14 is better than the Philips and certainly better than Hive B22's
Can you help me. I can’t connect this to my google !
Hello Wiktor! Happy new year ! Did you buy the gateway ?
"in the future will be compatible with the Philips Hue Bridge" they already are here in The Netherlands
they work with hue bridge directly, no need for the lidl hub
Got my light strip to work with the Hue Bridge but have no colour control, only white. It does not appear in the list of hue devices where as my Inner bulbs do. If it is paired with the Hue Bridge I can control on/off with Alexa. Is there any way of getting this fully functional with the Hue bridge. All works well with the dirt cheap lidl device.
@@muddyboycrossaxel6204 mine work perfectly with the hue bridge / app. Was able to change colours and use them just like the Philips lights. The Alexa issue is known but you should be able to change colours with the hub app or Google assistant

Correct, I use other brands like xiaomi and philips and I had no problems. I contacted Lidl to explain the problem and they would check.
You know that these are Tuya electronic devices and software. If use the main smart life app already, it's fully compatible with Tuya devices and ZigBee from other companies.
Thanks for the info :) I was aware although not tried myself :) have you got the Lidl devices?
@@SmartHomeMakers not many left at my local Lidl's , bought a hub, as the one I have, wireless (Tuya) , wanted a wired version. Worked straight out of the box with Tuya app and linked sonoff (cheap)/Tuya zigbee input devices and my Ajax bulbs(better then hue and lot less money). Switching on my Tuya power plugs(which includes power monitor) and lights. Google assistance worked great.
Hello why did you not show how bright the e14 bulb was and colour watched all that google for nothing want to see the bulbs brightness to hue light tipical . Was a good video till that missed bit lol do it again please 😃
Sorry buddy! I did forget about it, after I uploaded a bit too late! With the same lamp, I find it better to have all bulbs with on brand / type. Just feels more consistent for me to be honest. If I didn't already have 2 hue bulbs I would have got three bulbs from Lidl. Hope this helps!
