TRÅDFRI app & Gateway
What is the TRÅDFRI gateway?
The TRÅDFRI gateway is a small hub that connects your light sources to your TRÅDFRI app via your home Wi-Fi network. This way you can control your lights from a mobile device anywhere in your home. The TRÅDFRI app will not control your IKEA Smart lighting without the gateway.
What do I need to use the TRÅDFRI gateway and TRÅDFRI app?
You need to have Wi-Fi, a cable connection, an IKEA Smart lighting light source and a steering device.
Does the TRÅDFRI app cost anything?
No, TRÅDFRI app can be downloaded free via Google Play (Android) or Apple App Store (iOS).
How do I change the pre-set language on the app?
Go to settings (the gear icon in the upper right corner of the home screen). Then go to language settings and pick the language of your choice.
Where do I find the version number of the TRÅDFRI app?
In the TRÅDFRI app, you can find the version number at the bottom of the settings page under “Clear all settings”.
In the Apple App Store and on Google Play, there is a section called “Version” and you can find the version number there.
How many smart devices can simultaneously control the TRÅDFRI app?
The TRÅDFRI gateway supports up to 10 smart devices connected at the same time.
Can I add a non-gateway system to my TRÅDFRI gateway?
Yes, but you need to do a factory reset of your steering device and add it to your gateway. After that, pair your light sources with that device. You will be guided step-by-step on how to do it in the TRÅDFRI app.
Without doing this, any current Smart lighting products will not automatically show in the TRÅDFRI app.
How can I check whether I have a direct Wi-Fi connection with the gateway?
You will have an indication on the gateway when it´s connected to your home Wi-Fi.
How do I install an update in the TRÅDFRI app?
The update is installed by accepting the update when prompted in the TRÅDFRI app.
When should I disconnect from the gateway and what will happen when I do?
You would press “disconnect” from the gateway if you want to connect to another gateway. Think about the scenario of having one gateway at work and one at home. In order to jump from one to the other, you need to “log off”. All settings (moods groups) will be stored in the gateways, without the possibility to transfer them from one to another.
Can I control my light sources from the TRÅDFRI app when I'm not at home?
No, you can only control your light sources when you are within your Wi-Fi range (local network).
Which mobile devices are the TRÅDFRI app available for?
The TRÅDFRI app works with Android (KitKat 4.4, Lollipop 5.0 or later) and iOS (iOS 8 or later).
