Do I need DIRIGERA hub if I have a similar hub or bridge from another brand?
Yes. DIRIGERA hub is needed to use the IKEA Home smart app and to connect smart products from IKEA to your smart home.
With DIRIGERA hub, the IKEA Home smart app can guide you in connecting to Google Home, Amazon Alexa and Apple HomeKit. Synchronise your smart products to the other app and create a smart home set-up there too. Then you’ll be able to use your voice to control smart products from IKEA via voice assistant-enabled devices from Google, Amazon or Apple.

Can I migrate my smart home set-up and smart products from TRÅDFRI gateway to DIRIGERA hub?
No. Since your smart home set-up with TRÅDFRI gateway is stored locally only, and since the app connected to DIRIGERA hub comes with new digital features, you will need to re-create scenes after pairing your smart products.

Can I keep expanding my smart home with new product releases from IKEA if I have a TRÅDFRI gateway?
As we keep developing new smart products, and as the technology they require also evolves rapidly, not all smart products will be able to connect to TRÅDFRI gateway and will require DIRIGERA hub instead.
