A network standard like Zigbee enables smart products to talk to each other. With TRÅDFRI gateway, it's the technology behind Zigbee that enables you to manage your smart products from IKEA with our app and remote controls.
The Zigbee protocol has been around for some years and is a well-known standard used by smart products.
A network standard like Matter enables smart products to talk to each other. With DIRIGERA hub, it's the technology behind Matter that enables you to manage your smart products from IKEA with our app and remote controls.
Matter is a new smart home standard, developed with 200+ companies in the smart home industry. At IKEA, we're actively working in the development of Matter and are committed to supporting it.
Yes, DIRIGERA hub is needed to use the IKEA Home smart app and to connect smart products from IKEA to your smart home.
With DIRIGERA hub, the IKEA Home smart app can guide you through integrations to Google Home, Amazon Alexa and Apple HomeKit. Synchronise your smart products to the other app and create a smart home set-up there too. Then you’ll be able to use your voice to control smart products from IKEA via voice assistant-enabled devices from Google, Amazon or Apple.
With DIRIGERA hub in your home, you enjoy new ways of managing your smart products from IKEA – individually, by room or simultaneously. Everyone in the home with a mobile or tablet device can download and use the IKEA Home smart app to control the home. Remote controls are the perfect tool for guests when they quickly want to turn on/off or dim lights.
Use the app to dim the lights and change to warmer tones above the coffee table to appease tired evening eyes. Use the remote control later to turn off the same lights. Ask Siri to turn up the music when your hands are busy chopping tomatoes. Schedule the bedroom air purifier to prepare for bedtime. And press a shortcut button by the door when leaving to run the Scene where everything is safely turned off (including the shirt steamer).
Yes, the IKEA Home smart app connects with DIRIGERA hub and your smart products when you are using the same Wi-Fi. However, in the app you can set up Scenes where you choose which of your smart products should be turned on or off at a specific time. This is a perfect way to, for example, schedule lights to be turned on just before you come home at night or to set a timer for the roller blinds to temporarily roll down at midday to block out the sun, and later roll up again when sun is gone.
No, only smart products from IKEA can be connected to DIRIGERA hub and managed in the IKEA Home smart app. Our range of smart products solves needs throughout the home and we continously develop new products where we integrate technology into home furnishing items for the home.

The Sonos app is needed to set up your SYMFONISK speaker, and can also be used to browse and play music. Similar to the Sonos app, the IKEA Home smart app can also stream music to speakers of your choice and can also be included in Scenes. After all, waking up to the sound of your favourite playlist is great!
As we keep developing new smart products, and as the technology they require also develops rapidly, not all smart products will be able to connect to TRÅDFRI gateway and will require DIRIGERA hub instead.
Already purchased smart products from IKEA can be connected to DIRIGERA hub and managed in the IKEA Home smart app. As new features, standards, and safety improvements are being added, older products may not support these. This is a result of our work to improve the smart home system and make it more convenient for the many people.
No. It would be fun to just swipe devices from TRÅDFRI gateway over to DIRIGERA hub but it was not possible to do this. On a good note though: onboarding and pairing devices to DIRIGERA is much smoother and easier. A remote is not required and multiple devices can be paired at the same time. You also don’t have to worry about which room they are placed in, it can be changed at any time to the way you like. Select the device you would like to move, click on the pen symbol and “change rooms”.
For now with DIRIGERA, one scene can be added to the TRÅDFRI shortcut button, more options and features can be expected in future releases.
Switch it off/power cut the device as a first step. If applicable, check if the battery is empty. If the battery is low, we suggest a change. If this has not helped, try to remove the device from the app/hub, factory reset it and pair it again. This should also resolve any firmware issues with the device.
No. For now, push notifications are not available.
Wi-Fi is not needed to activate scenes. As long as your DIRIGERA hub is on, your scenes will work as they have been planned.
All devices and scenes will not work if the DIRIGERA hub is off.
As long as those devices have electricity, they will work as scheduled or programmed. If they have been cut off from power, they will not react.
There is no official limit but the hub has a lot of memory space. It should be able to manage at least 100 devices.
DIRIGERA hub and TRÅDFRI gateway, together with your smart products, automatically stay updated.

Using a wall switch is the only way to factory reset as of now. Please note that electric dimmer switches might not work the same way as wall switches. If the electric dimmer is able to cut off power, bulbs might not need to light up to initiate the pairing process when following the instructional video.
Yes. Location access is necessary to make sunset/sunrise a meaningful option for timers. Without this permission DIRIGERA hub will not know how to time your scene based on when the sun sets or rises at your location.
For now, there is no setting available for devices to remember their last state before losing electricity.
This is not currently possible but will be part of future releases.
