With IKEA Home smart, you’re in full control

Whether you want a fully smart home or more control here and there, IKEA Home smart products can help your life to run more smoothly. You can raise the blinds, switch on the lights, and turn on the music all at the touch of a button or at the sound of your voice. You can even set them to come on automatically. You don’t even have to get out of bed.

Four ways to control IKEA Home smart

1. Remote control

With an IKEA Home smart remote control you can switch on and off, dim the lights and change the colour, raise and lower the blinds.

2. Motion sensor

The light switches on when the sensor detects movement. You can set how long you want the light to stay on, and the brightness level for when you get home or 30% brightness in the hallway at night.

3. Gateway with app

When you add the DIRIGERA hub to your home WiFi router and download the IKEA Home smart app, you can control smart lighting, smart blinds, smart sound, and power outlets, so that wired electronics become smart. Set timers to switch on or off your lights and to raise or lower the blinds, set different lighting moods and steer it all from your smartphone or tablet.

DIRIGERA Hub is built with Matter technology, a connectivity standard used in smart homes and smart products, which IKEA has been involved in developing. Matter is IP-based and builds reliable, secure Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystems.

Matter is developed to support many different product types and use cases, ensuring reliability, security, and compatibility. This allows you to buy the products you want knowing it will connect with what you already have at home.

The integrated Zigbee technology enables instant response times and an ultra-stable connection.
