Product details

DIRIGERA hub is the heart of a smart home as it enables you to connect and control your smart products in the IKEA Home smart app.

Picture yourself being able to wake up, dim the lights, raise your blinds, and listen to some music - all without having to get out of bed (or having to rewire your home).

You can easily keep an eye on your home even when you're away using the IKEA Home smart app, for example to check if the coffee machine is switched off and to turn lights on or off.

All our smart products work independently. Adding them to the hub opens up new ways to control and customise your home – with extra functions and features when you combine two or more products.

Your smart home can be controlled in various ways – with the IKEA Home smart app, remote controls, shortcut button, voice or motion. You control individual products, groups, rooms or all at once.

Found the perfect combination of cozy lighting and music? Save it as a 'Scene' in the app! By creating your own scenes, the right mood for any occasion is just a tap away.

Trigger scenes with schedules or manually with a shortcut button or the app, for example when you want to turn off all lights and other smart products with a single press when leaving home in the morning.

DIRIGERA hub is a Matter bridge, this means that the smart products connected to the DIRIGERA hub are compatible with any smart home platforms that use the Matter standard.

We continuously update the IKEA Home smart app with new and improved features for an even more fun and convenient way to use your smart home.

Ratings and reviews

Always utterly slow to connect, when it does, compared to every other IoTAlexandreI'm using this with an air quality sensor, a remote, a dozen window & door sensors, half a dozen bulbs and water leak sensors. The initial setup was ok and worked for a while. But now, even though I receive notifications, I can't connect to the hub and even after re-adding it locally, the remote access is failing and the local one is horribly unreliable. I'm a network professional and every other services work (Unifi, Hilo, Robot Vacuums, etc.) within 2 seconds. Meanwhile, Dirigera, when it works, takes over 10 seconds to even show the tiles. With door and window sensors or water leak sensors, which are security measures, it's unacceptable to have something stop working out of the blue like this. Also full support still lacking for Matter. Very disappointed as it was alright and functional for a few months but now is acting up even after reboot, firmware updates and re-joining it. And I don't think a full reset and re-adding 2 dozens devices is a solution respectful of my time!3
Works with Tredansen / Alexa but not well with IKEA remotesPeterThe Tredansen blinds can connect with only one device, so you can pair them with the remote button provided, or the Digirea hub. However, if you pair the Tredansen blinds and the remotes with Dirigera, the remotes become erratic. You really want to be able to open and close blinds with a button within reach, and not be totally reliant on the IKEA app or Alexa to operate them. Amazon Alexa works fine with the Dirigera hub. I think the Dirigera hub is a work in progress and not ready for prime time.2
Works for my purposes (lighting) but was challenging to set upMarshallI bought this in Mar 2025 to replace an older Tradfri gateway that I was using to control lighting in multiple rooms. The Tradfri worked perfectly but I wanted to add some other Smart Home products that the Tradfri cannot work with. Dirigera was easy to install but I found the product pairing instructions confusing. After viewing a few instructional videos online, I was able to connect my lighting products reasonably quickly. So far I have used Dirigera to control older Tradfri colour-changing bulbs and remote switches in multiple rooms using IKEA's Home Smart app on iPhone. Dirigera works well for that. The only drawback I've experienced is using the older Tradfri remote switches, which dim and brighten the lights in increments instead of the smooth transition produced using the Tradfri gateway. Perhaps that would not occur if I replaced the switches with newer Styrbar switches. I deducted one star from my rating because of the challenging set-up and incremental dimming.4
Partially works with 3rd party Zigbee; Matter/Home Assistant users beware!BrianFor those that are using third party Zigbee devices (looking at you, Home Assistant users), beware: your third party devices are NOT available via Matter integration. This really stings, as I bought this to replace a Sonoff device, and now I can't use most of my motion sensors. I'm hoping this is a software thing and Ikea can fix this. I sincerely hope this was a case of "this was a missed requirement" and not "we're actively going to suppress Matter support for third party devices". Please add this, Ikea! Until that's supported, I wouldn't recommend this to those deep into home automation. While not directly related to the device itself, a minor nitpick on the Home Smart app: the motion sensors don't show if they've detected motion in the app. It'd be nice to see the status to confirm they're working. For the price, it'd be nice if this had PoE support. It's a bit pricey, but if it doesn't stop working randomly in 2 years then I'm willing to pay for quality. 3
Seems to workRobertWhy do we need yet another proprietary gateway? I already had a houseful of Alexa-enabled devices. It took a lot of trail an error to get this thing setup to connect our kitchen lights to Alexa. Not sure it was worth the effort.3
Awesome!ChrisAwesome!5
Good but not so good.MarcLove the product. The problem is that I can only control the setting at home within wifi range. Cannot monitor or change outside of the house.5
Useful hub for IKEA's smartBrandonUseful hub for IKEA's smart devices4
Very happy with this device!AliIt allows us to check our air quality sensors from our phones and to control our air purifier remotely as well. It has other functions that we don't yet take advantage of but it is really nice.5
Too complicated to setup and requires Ethernet connectionPierreThis requires an Ethernet connection to the router and it is not feasible in our home. We're in 2023, it should connect via WiFi instead and makes everybody happy. Also, configuration is not for a beginner ... You could do better Ikea.1
Very good productFredEvery thing went well after some guess work but does work very good and stable. Ikea should put a full demo together for this as it can be a tad frustrating setting up but does work when done sequentially. I ask that some firmware upgrades support remote access and matter updates power consumption would also be a game changer.4
It has potential...MarkThe DIRIGERA Hub is a step up from the often maligned Trådfri Hub... in theory. Installation was straight forward. Configuration into Apple's HomeKit was also straight forward... but... After a power failure, and things were up and running, things were not well. The DIRIGERA Hub was up, the Trådfri drivers were alive, and the LED lights connected were on again. But, the communication between the Dirigera Hub and the HomeKit Home Hub was broken. Automations did not run on the IKEA side. Eventually I had to manually reboot the Dirigera Hub. I would suspect that the Dirigera Hub booted up before other parts of the HomeKit environment were ready... and Dirigera never bothered to either wait or try again. The programmers need to release updated firmware in the IKEA components to make everything work properly and fully, like other manufacturer's do with their products.1
Great buy! You are buying convenience!ItxelGreat buy! You are buying convenience! Physical set up was straightforward. Digital set up was challenging when connecting the Dirigera with the smart bulbs that were already installed and set up; the bulbs reconfigured themselves and so, everything had to be done from scratch, again. Detail note: our Google Home is configured to respond to our commands to light up lamps, and does so seamlessly (most of the time). Limitation note: it is not possible to turn on lamps remotely; to turn on our configured lamps, the user has to be using the household wifi.4
Wish you would have theDavidWish you would have the 10" plates available. This design is quite popular and each time I look to purchase many pieces are out of stock. I now simply need the 10" plates. I am on a waiting list.5
cool thing, just too priceyLawrenceif the price could go down, that will be perfect4
working as expected but aEmilyworking as expected but a bit too pricey5
Great hub for smart lightingShawnWorks great for smart lighting. I do wish the remotes for the smart lights connect to the hub and not to the lights directly, but I don’t know if that is something to be expected5
Excellent product! Easy to installLilibethExcellent product! Easy to install and use!5
A good start to a revised smart home hubBradI own the previous Tradfri gateway and only used it to update the firmware of my Tradfri lightbulbs, buttons, and outlets. Even though I also have SmartThings, Hubitat, and Home Assistant running in my home, I've kept the new Dirigera hub running alongside my other systems, and have integrated it with Home Assistant. From a technical standpoint, the Dirigera is far far superior to the previous Tradfri gateway. It starts up faster than the previous gateway, connecting devices to it is definitely faster and much more straightforward than the previous system. It integrates easily with Alexa, and I've added it to Home Assistant as a HomeKit Controller. All of that is working great. The Dirigera hub and associated Home Smart app were only released in the last week or so, but it would have been better if the functionality supported by the old system was available in the new system. Automation options available through the new Ikea Home Smart app are very basic and some functionality that the previous gateway and app had is missing, such as being able to assign a double-press action to the shortcut button. The future prospects for this product are great though, with the planned Matter upgrades to come later on. Looking forward to seeing how it progresses as updates are rolled out for it.4

Story

Connect and create some magic

You have surely asked yourself, a bit stressed and on your way from home, “did I really turn off the iron?” Or wished that the lights were on when you get home late? With DIRIGERA, our hub for smart products, you can easily connect and control everything from irons and lamps to air purifiers and speakers.

“But the real magic happens when you combine the different products to what we call a Scene. Then you get fantastic functions,” says Rebecca Töreman, who has worked with smart products at IKEA for several years. Her mornings now start softly with the help of a routine she has created herself in the app. “Just before I wake up, the blinds go up, my bed lights are slowly lit, and the speakers turn on my playlist with soft music. The air purifier has given me the best possible air during the night and goes from night mode to auto mode. I can’t imagine a better start of the day.”

For a smarter everyday life

In addition to our growing range of smart products, you can actually add other electrical devices to DIRIGERA thanks to a wireless outlet. You put it between the wall socket, and for example the coffee machine or the iron, which then becomes a part of your smart home. “The whole idea with DIRIGERA has been to create a simple system to both install and use. We have more than 75 years of experience in creating a better everyday life at home, and now we have made it smarter by adding technology.”

Continues to develop

When you buy a piece of furniture or any other product from IKEA, you expect it to be fully developed. But we can reveal that DIRIGERA actually becomes better and better with time – without costing you anything extra. “We continue to update the app and develop new products and functions that you connect to your smart home – so you can have a little more magic in everyday life.”.

Function solution

The heart of a smart home

With DIRIGERA, our hub for smart products, you can easily connect and control everything from lamps and blinds to speakers and air purifiers directly from an app on your phone. It’s smart and smooth, but the real magic happens when you combine different products to a preset Scene. Then you can create your own routines that frame that perfect dinner party, help you unwind in the evening or wake you up with a pleasant light and soft music.
