Can I still control my IKEA smart home even if my internet connection is down?

Yes. Both DIRIGERA hub and TRÅDFRI gateway must be connected to your Wi-Fi router, but they don't need an actual internet connection.

You can still control your smart products with remote controls or through the app as long as your mobile device is connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
