Why should I buy a DIRIGERA hub when I already have a TRÅDFRI gateway?

IKEA will fully focus on the development of DIRIGERA and will not release any new products or features to the IKEA Home smart 1 app and TRÅDFRI gateway after April 2024.

DIRIGERA comes with many benefits compared to TRÅDFRI. One example is that you can access your smart home also when you are away with the  "Control Anywhere" feature.
