Easy to get started with a ready-to-use TRÅDFRI smart kit which contains the wireless dimmer and 1 E27 LED light bulb (large base) with warm-white light (2.700K).
This kit is already pre-paired, so all you have to do is screw the light source into the lamp socket and then start using your smart lighting.
Default luminous flux: 806 lm
Default colour temperature: 2700 K
Power: 8.9 W
Standby power consumption: 0.5W.
I wanted a few more of the $11.99 dimmer switches and found a Tradfri smart bulb bundled for an extra $3 :)
Requires Zigbee hub. Ikea or otherwise.
I have these working with home assistant and a CC2531 zigbee dongle.

NOTE this dongle does need to be flashed with the latest firmware before it will work properly with these switches.
Dimmer switch is a rocker type.
Top Half - Press for On, Hold for increase brightness.
Bottom Half - Press for Off, Hold for Dim

Good deal sucks bulb is warm white only.
Anyone have experience linking to Philips hue bridge and whether the ikea stuff caused problems?
