Smart solutions with home at the heart

At IKEA, we have a long history of making clever solutions for a better everyday

life. A smart home from IKEA can do just that by blending technology into

home furnishings. Making life at home more convenient, safe, fun – and more

you.

The really clever part is that you decide how smart you want your everyday life

to be. You can control everything in our app, or you can manage your smart

products with a range of physical remote controls. It’s your home, your choice.

Imagine if you could wake up every day in a slightly calmer and more comfortable way.

bed. It may sound like magic, but with the smart home range from IKEA, it quickly and

easily becomes your new reality.

How to get started

You could start with one kind of smart product, such as lighting or blinds. Or

Maybe you would like to improve your sleep routine, family mealtimes, or

home theatre set-up.

The good thing with smart products is that you can start small and add more

over time. Choose if you want to start out with a hub and app to manage your

products – or add that later.

With hub and app

DIRIGERA hub is the heart of a smart home

as it enables you to connect and control

your smart products in the IKEA Home

smart app.

With remote controls

Many of our smart products can be used

without connecting them to the hub and

app.

Discover more features and functions of



kinds of smart products working together.

You can control multiple lights or blinds

with one remote. See pages 5 and 12 to



connected and non-connected smart

products – how they work and how you

can control them.

As the hub connects to your Wi-Fi router,

both smart products and the app will

receive updates and continuously get even

smarter – at no cost.

Dierent ways to control your smart home

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 makes it easy for everyone to live with and use a

smart home.

Remote controls

Use a remote to control either one product or groups of several

products at the same time. With a shortcut button, you can

The remotes are also easy to use for your friends and family when

they come to visit. We even have splashproof remotes suitable

for wet areas such as kitchen, bathroom or laundry area.

Motion

Automatic control triggered by motion makes the home feel

safer and more comfortable. Use it to turn the lights on in dark

spaces, such as the walk to the bathroom in the night, or in

places where your hands are often full, like near the front door, in

the stairways, storage, or laundry areas. It’s also an idea for the

wardrobe, turning the built-in lights on when you open it.

The app

With the IKEA Home smart app, you always have full access and

both hands are occupied with something else or the room is dark.

in the IKEA Home smart app.

When you improve the IQ of your home, life itself runs

smoother

The idea with DIRIGERA hub and the IKEA Home smart app is to make life at

home feel smoother and more comfortable – from waking up until it’s time to

unwind. You can choose the features and functions that feel most important

to you, add more smart products whenever you like and create the perfect

atmosphere for all hours of the day. This is everyday life, a little bit smarter!

Popular non-connected set-ups

Perhaps you feel it all sounds great, but you’re just not ready to connect

your lights, blinds or any other smart products to the app and hub yet?

Well, the good news is that you don’t have to. All your smart products work

independently and will still make life at home more convenient. And you

can rest assured they can be connected whenever you are ready for more

functionality.

Lighting

Adapt your lighting to the activities or just change the mood in

lights in one room with a remote control.

built-in sensors that will turn on the light when you walk into a

room or a drawer is opened.

Blinds

Push the button! That’s all you have to do when you want to raise

the smart blinds to welcome the morning sun – or lower them to

shut out street lights and window drafts. But that’s not all – the

included control also lets you manage several of the blinds at the

same time.

Popular smart home set-ups

The good thing with smart products from IKEA is that you can start small and

add more products and connect the hub and app over time. Think about your

everyday life at home: how could adding more smart products make your life

easier, smoother, safer – or just more fun? Here are some examples of areas to

focus on.

Better sleep

On average we spend a third of our lives in

bed sleeping. Or not sleeping! Make sure

you get the best conditions to unwind, fall

asleep and wake up the next morning by

home by setting up new products and new

functions, integrating them for a more

complete experience.

automatically dims to match the music

when you’re hosting a party, or add in a

soundbar from Sonos for a home theatre

set-up.
