Purchased in December 2025 at an IKEA store. New and unused. ↓↓ The product description is as follows ↓↓ The DIRIGERA hub is the heart of your smart home. Connect your smart appliances to the IKEA Home smart app and control them. Using the IKEA Home smart app, you can easily keep an eye on your home even when you're away, such as checking if the coffee maker is turned off or turning lights on and off. All IKEA smart appliances work separately. By adding smart appliances to the hub, you can operate and customize them in new ways, and when you combine two or more smart appliances, you can use additional functions and features. You can operate your smart home in various ways, such as the IKEA Home smart app, remote controls, shortcut buttons, voice, and motion. Appliances can be operated individually, by group, by room, or all together. You can schedule or manually activate scenes using shortcut buttons or the app. This is convenient when you want to turn off all the lights and other smart appliances when you leave home in the morning. The DIRIGERA smart product hub is a Matter bridge. Smart appliances connected to the DIRIGERA hub are compatible with any smart home platform that uses the Matter standard.
