I connected my light source to the TRÅDFRI gateway by using my remote control. Do I still need the remote control or can I just use the IKEA Home smart app?
Once your light source has been connected, you no longer need to use the steering device unless you would like to add more light sources to your app in future or use it for the light sources directly.
You can steer your lights without the remote control if you disconnect the steering device from the gateway after you have used it to pair your light sources.
However, if you decide later on to add more light sources to your system, you will need a steering device to enable you to do this again.
