IKEA Home smart 1

Inter IKEA Systems B.V

About this app

It’s easy with the IKEA Home smart 1 app and TRÅDFRI gateway. Use one setting for early morning lighting and music, another for late evenings and a third for cooking or working at home.

You can dim, turn off, turn on, change colours and switch from warm to cold light. Raise or lower blinds. Turn on your music – then turn it up, turn it down or pause it. And you can even control your air purifier to improve the air quality at home.

With the IKEA Home smart 1 app, you can connect to Amazon Alexa or Google Home and control it all with your voice.

What you’ll get with the IKEA Home smart 1 app and TRÅDFRI gateway:
• The ability to control your lights and blinds from the app
• The ability to turn audio on and off, pause it and control volume
• Customisable settings, including changing the position of blinds, light colours and choosing warm or cold light
• Timers with morning and evening options
• The ability to turn your air purifier on and off, and set it to a fan speed that suits the needs of your home

Ratings and reviews

Latest update: The app is getting worse. For example, the filter keeps blocking settings lke changing fan speed. I turn that off in the app and it goes right back to re-enabling blocks the next morning. They need to hire real developers. Otherwise... Smart home for dumb people. This system is easy but is restricted, dumb, and no where near as useful as SmartThings.

Constant gateway disconnections make what should be a simple task of adjusting the lights into a headache. I am hoping that IKEA makes it right soon. I'm not yet willing to pull down 3 ceiling light fixtures to take them back. Kind of stuck with a defective product. EDIT (1/8/2019): What a difference a year makes. App is now solid as a rock. Google Home integration works great and the Tradfri UI is vastly improved. We use it daily. Thanks for sticking with it. Changing from 2 to 5 stars.

I've had to restart the gateway and force kill the app on my phone three times today. It fails to connect and find devices. It's horrible. The remote has decided to stop working too. Usually the remotes work. The app rarely works, I have to perform a gateway reset about once every two days which messes up timers and the whole experience in general. It shouldn't be this bad
