Do I need a remote control to manage my smart home?
With DIRIGERA hub, you can control your home and add new smart products to it without a remote control, by using the IKEA Home smart app.
If it is e.g. fixed on a wall, remote controls are more accessible than an app, making it easier for guests and other people visiting your home. Remote controls also work even if your internet connection is down – or if you forgot where you put your phone.
