What ways are there to control my smart home, to turn the lights on or off, etc.?

With DIRIGERA hub in your home, you enjoy new ways of managing your smart products from IKEA – individually, by room or simultaneously.

Everyone in the home with a mobile or tablet device can download and use the IKEA Home smart app to control the home. Remote controls are the perfect tool for guests when they quickly want to turn on/off or dim lights.

Use the app to dim the lights and change to warmer tones above the coffee table to help those tired evening eyes. Use the remote control later to turn off the same lights. Ask Siri to turn up the music when your hands are busy chopping tomatoes. Schedule the bedroom air purifier to prepare the room for bedtime. And press a shortcut button by the door when leaving to run the Scene where everything is safely turned off (including the shirt steamer).
