Do I need to be at home to control my smart home?

No. If you have set up and enabled Control Anywhere in the IKEA Home smart app, you can connect with DIRIGERA hub and your smart products even outside of your Wi-Fi.

Control Anywhere needs to be set up, similar to other integrations, while you are connected to your home's Wi-Fi. This also applies for turning it on or off. If Control Anywhere is turned on or off, the setting applies for all users that have access to the same DIRIGERA hub.
