Works like a charm
The best feature is "powerloss return to previous state". That way you don't get awake in the middle of the night. I also love the zigbee mesh network with the wireless remote. They are a game changer.
Description
With IKEA Home smart app and DIRIGERA hub, it's easy to create smarter everyday moments with lighting, speakers, blinds and air quality products.
Picture yourself waking up as your smart lights gently rise. Your favourite songs play on the speakers and you still haven't gotten out of bed. How lovely, right? Smart products like lighting, speakers, blinds and air purifiers can make a lovely addition to your everyday life. When you improve the IQ of your home, life itself runs a bit smoother.
The magic happens when you combine two or more smart products from IKEA, tell them what to do in the app and save it as a 'Scene'.
A great scene is one you will use often. Think about waking up and going to bed, cooking and eating, date night and family time, or leaving and coming home. All everyday moments when we can support you with the best lighting, sound that suits your mood, and cleaner air.
When it comes to control, we think of everyone, from young to old and even visitors. So while the app gives you total control to customise your smart home, our range of remotes make it easy for everyone to live with and use a smart home.
In control
• You can control products individually or in groups. You can turn whole rooms on and off or the whole home, all at once.
• Dim and change light colours, adjust blinds, speaker volume, and much more.
• Set the scenes you need and trigger them with schedules, a shortcut button or use the app.
Easy to use
• The home screen gives a fast overview of your whole home. Quickly control products, access rooms, or start/stop scenes. This is also where you add new products, rooms, and scenes.
Organised and personal
• Organising your smart products in rooms gives fast access to the products you want to control.
• Personalise the app with your choice of icons, names and colours for rooms and products
• Create personal scenes, for example your own combination of cosy lighting and your favourite music.
Integrations
• Connect to Apple Home, Amazon Alexa or Google Home to use a voice assistant.

Missing Feature
This system does not have the ability to cycle through all of the colours in its spectrum on command. It’s a very nice feature to have if you’re having a party or celebrating something to be able to just click a couple of screens and have your lights just gently slowly cycle through the reds and greens and yellows.with this system, you can change the colours but you have to do it manually one room at a time and then after that there is no ability to automatically cycle through the colors. Having said all of that, the system is easy to use and the bulbs are comparably priced in comparison to other big box stores.
A Work in Progress
After purchasing the new DIRIGERA hub & setting it up on my iPhone there it sits. The software IKEA Home Smart is in its early stages. It shows great promise but not there yet. Before I add my ikea smart products to the new hub Ikea needs to (1) release a migration process. (2) bring matter to the hub, (3) release an iPad version & (4) have it work across multiple devices. I look forward to seeing the software mature to a point where it is worth the risk to move to it.
Very good app, still needs a bit of work
The app is good and works with Matter and ZigBee devices. However, I just noticed that 3rd party devices do not seem to get recognized for what they really are: I got a zigbee powerbar today and all the outlets show up as lights. Sadly, in the Ikea app, there is no way to tell the hub that they are actually smart outlets. Lucky me, I can change it in my Google Home app.
Matter?
I upgraded to this hub (from the older hub) because of Matter which I understand was scheduled for early 2023, but with 13 days left until 2024, it still isn't available 🤔
Remotes stop working
Update: ikea exchanged the Dirigera hub and now all is working perfectly! all issues have disappeared! Bad unit I guess. Original review in Case it can help: After resetting the whole system, my latest issue is that remotes seem to fall asleep. I have both Tradfri and Rodret remotes and Inhave to constantly go to the app and edit the remote’s settings and press a button on each one for them to wake up. This is silly. And still nowhere to report issues or get support.
Have to always Restart
The app doesn’t reflect current status of lights and doesn’t allow toggling of lights unless the app is closed and opened again. Pain!
No iPad support
Can’t give an app more than 2 stars for no iPad support in 2023
Scene timer not working
While the app is promising, I cannot turn off a scene on a scheduled time. Timer is turned on at sunset, but I can only set a duration for turning off, not at a scheduled time. Hopefully this can be fixed, as this was working well in the old Tradfri app. Update: scenes are working great now, thanks for adding the timer. One more thing I’d like to request. We have some lamps that allows us to change the light colour. However, when the light turns off as scheduled, and turns on the next day, it has “forgotten” the light colour setting, and has defaulted back to the whitest setting. The Tradfri app did keep the light colour setting.
Easy setup, privacy conscious
The app is well designed and easy to use. Guided me through the setup of the Dirigera bridge as well as resetting and pairing all my IKEA devices - LED driver, motion sensor, smart plug. Was glad to see that the app doesn’t require an email address for basic functionality (in-home control and HomeKit), and only asks for email verification to connect to Alexa and Google Assistant. The Ikea app itself doesn’t offer out-of-home control (as other reviewers mentioned) but linking it with Apple/Amazon/Google easily provides that functionality. Overall nice, clean, simple, with a few clever puns sprinkled in, exactly what I’d expect from IKEA.
