The BESTEdoardoWhat a great product. This is the solution to couple of hours trying to pair with the old zigbee system some tradfri lightbulbs.
It is the simplest thing ever, I actually find it then cancelled everything and let our 9 year old do it.
Honesty I can't believe and understand the negative reviews.
This is the easiest thing ever to use and works like a charm.
It found all my old tradfri lightbulbs instantly.
I can't believe I didn't buy it before.
A must have for an easy, very affordable home smart lighting system.
Those who left bad reviews must have some serious issues.
Thank you Ikea5
Purchase of DIRIGERALi MaxIt was quick delivery and its working good . Thanks IKEA5
Poorly designed and and doesn't work well with the ikea app or devicesJocelynThe whole matter range for ikea is a real pain to set up and never works well enough. Pairing is a nightmare and some ikea smart devices just refuses to connect. A successful set up takes about 10-15 minutes per device, and if it fails the app suggests you reset the network. But then if you reset the network you have to pair everything from scratch again, which can take hours if you have several smart devices. It also breaks any direct pairing you may have between smart plugs and the remotes. When it breaks this, you cannot use the devices when the network is down or you're trying to troubleshoot another device. Note that this is all on the ikea app plus only ikea smart devices2
Easy setupLucySimple to set up and follow the instructions to add new lights and devices. Before purchasing this, I was just using a remote, which didn't give me much control over each light's colour and brightness, so this is a huge improvement. The price is a bit hefty, but it's a one-off purchase.5
worth every centsEffendyit works well with old Ikea remotes and lamps, and easy to integrate with Alexa, one important thing to know, that all of lamps and remotes need to be re-paired again with Dirigera Hub.5
simpleIansimple to setup and connect... wish most things were this easy5

💔💔 WISH THEY SOLD THE SMALL TRADFRI E1743 STILL! 💔💔Anonymous reviewerDespite being enormous, they are useful being able to change colours. But it would be so much nicer to have smaller magnetic light switches! The alternatives (Rodret & Somrig) just are NOT suitable as can only be used for scenes! 💔😭 And they are bigger than the small square TRADFRI remotes! 😭💔5
EXCELLENT IKEA & ZIGBEE WIFI HUB! Anonymous reviewerHas no issues connecting generic Zigbee devices, as long as they are from available categories that match the verticals Ikea sell. TIP: Position 50+ CM away from your router for best coverage ages reception up your devices.
Decent construction. Average documentation. Excellent replacement / return support. 365 day returns!
No issues adding old old switches and devices no longer sold Ikea. 5
Excellent Zigbee Bluetooth Gateway / Hub! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Anonymous reviewer⭐ Works with "most" Zigbee-compatible devices. ⭐ Plenty of support and resources online. ⭐ Gateway is 110% AWESOME and stable. ⭐ Frequent updates and rock-solid reliability. ⭐5
OverhypedAndrePurchased this as a replacement/upgrade to my older Tradfri hub.
Must say the transition wasn’t seamless, basically reinstalling the whole system again.
Connectivity to the wifi was unstable. Having to reconnect to the hub multiple times in order to control remotely when using smartphone. I’ve bridged it to my iPhone Home app but many of the Automations don’t work as the hub connection to the wifi is so unstable.
Doesn’t matter whether it’s 2.4g or 5g.
Can’t be a distance issue as the hub and wifi router are <1 ft from each other. 2
Works as expectedJasonThe initial Dirigera was DOA, so my first attempt at installation was... unsatisfactory. The replacement worked exactly as advertised and restored confidence in the product line. It's been working as expected for a couple of weeks (as have the Tradfri) without incident. I've unnecessarily rebooted it twice during that time. It restarted and continued to work without requiring me to do anything.5
Stable and reliable hub replacement for the IKEA Home smart device ecosystemMikeI've had a Dirigera for over 18 months, and it has been a much welcomed upgrade from the original Tradfri hub which was troublesome to say the least. I have over 40 devices now, and confident in expanding my system with the new range of sensors (Badring, etc.) knowing the existing network will "just work" if I add new device.
I'm also trialing the beta Matter bridge support via Apple Home and has so far has been very responsive and flawless in operation.
Some reviewers seem to get stuck in the setup phase. I’d recommend check you have the right app version (sounds obvious, but there are two), and the Dirigera is plugged into your wifi router with the supplied Ethernet cable.
Looking forward to future enhancements such as Thread support and new device offerings. The IKEA Home smart team certainly has come a long way in the last few years to be able to offer very competitive and reliable home automation platform with value that is difficult to find with other vendors.5
Don’t waste your time or money it’s GarbageAnonymous reviewerI’ve had two of these hubs and both of them didn't work. I waisted hours of my time trying to set this thing up and no joy. It doesn’t look like I’m alone either, there are many people having the same problem. Not good enough, come on IKEA fix the problem. 1

UnobtrusiveAnonymous reviewerEasy setup and unobtrusive. Works as advertised.5
Doesn't work and no one knows how to fix itAnonymous reviewerNo matter what I try the Ikea Home Smart app will not locate my Dirigera Hub and says "We didn't find any hubs" during set up. So I haven't been able to use it at all, despite exchanging the first one I purchased on the assumption it was faulty. I have been unable to get proper support anywhere and so it remains completely useless. Have tried absolutely everything and still no luck.1
Easy to install and useJenniferGreat smart solution. It is easy to install and connect the smart devices. Adding other household members to the account is very simple. It easily integrates with Google home so I have control of all devices in one place. Very happy with the Dirigera and Tradfri system5
Pricey but should hopefully pay off..MattFrom a hardware sense it’s a really nice design with a lot of good (future) capabilities. The new app just seems very basic with lack of useful automation such being able to do anything with VINDSTYRKA data which feeds into the DIRIGERA hub. Functionality is just lacking so far..
Although it’s an improvement from the old TRADFRI gateway, I wouldn’t currently recommend this hub at its price point especially as it’s still yet to receive Matter support even though promised by IKEA over a year ago upon release.3
