About this app

With IKEA Home smart app and DIRIGERA hub, it's easy to create smarter everyday moments with lighting, speakers, blinds and air quality products.

Picture yourself waking up as your smart lights gently rise. Your favourite songs play on the speakers and you still haven't gotten out of bed. How lovely, right? Smart products like lighting, speakers, blinds and air purifiers can make a lovely addition to your everyday life. When you improve the IQ of your home, life itself runs a bit smoother.

The magic happens when you combine two or more smart products from IKEA, tell them what to do in the app and save it as a 'Scene'.

A great scene is one you will use often. Think about waking up and going to bed, cooking and eating, date night and family time, or leaving and coming home. All everyday moments when we can support you with the best lighting, sound that suits your mood, and cleaner air.

When it comes to control, we think of everyone, from young to old and even visitors. So while the app gives you total control to customise your smart home, our range of remotes make it easy for everyone to live with and use a smart home.

In control
• You can control products individually or in groups. You can turn whole rooms on and off or the whole home, all at once.
• Dim and change light colours, adjust blinds, speaker volume, and much more.
• Set the scenes you need and trigger them with schedules, a shortcut button or use the app.

Easy to use
• The home screen gives a fast overview of your whole home. Quickly control products, access rooms, or start/stop scenes. This is also where you add new products, rooms, and scenes.

Organised and personal
• Organising your smart products in rooms gives fast access to the products you want to control.
• Personalise the app with your choice of icons, names and colours for rooms and products
• Create personal scenes, for example your own combination of cosy lighting and your favourite music.

Integrations
• Connect to Amazon Alexa or Google Home to use a voice assistant.

Ratings and reviews

Doesn't let me install the hub. Instead, I get an error message that the hub is not downloading the latest software update and to reset the hub. Even after I reset it, I keep getting the same error message. UPDATE (4/5): I installed the app on my iPad and was able to connect to the hub. However, the app on my Android Google Pixel can't find the hub.

Lights and remotes are constantly desyncing. A decade into this product and there is still no way to reconnect a light. When it desyncs, you must remove it, re-add it, and re- relate any custom schedules for the product. It is in every way more effort than just getting up to use the light switch. I would not recommend any Ikea smart products, to any person, for any reason.

I noticed that after a new Tradfri lamp was installed, the integration with Alexa was not working anymore. After a bit of checking I saw that the Integrations on the hub were disabled. To get them enabled again I have to verify my email; but exactly that part is not working. I'm getting every time a very helpful error message "Oops, something went wrong." I have tried to reset the Dirigera hub, reinstall the app on phone and tablet. Nothing helped, the bloody error message remains.
