It’s easy with the IKEA Home smart 1 app and TRÅDFRI gateway. Use one setting for early morning lighting and music, another for late evenings and a third for cooking or working at home. You can dim, turn off, turn on, change colours and switch from warm to cold light. Raise or lower blinds. Turn on your music – then turn it up, turn it down or pause it. And you can even control your air purifier to improve the air quality at home. With the IKEA Home smart 1 app, you can also connect to Apple Home, Amazon Alexa or Google Home and control it all with your voice. What you’ll get with the IKEA Home smart 1 app and TRÅDFRI gateway: • The ability to control your lights and blinds from the app • The ability to turn audio on and off, pause it and control volume • Customisable settings, including changing the position of blinds, light colours and choosing warm or cold light • Timers with morning and evening options • The ability to turn your air purifier on and off, and set it to a fan speed that suits the needs of your home

Latest update is fantastic

chooooioioiooooooo
I originally bought the tradfri set as it is one of the only security friendly smart lighting options. It uses only a local network connection for control, nothing external, which gets rid of a lot of risk with these sorts of devices.It’s reasonably easy to set up. The app was a little lacking up until now, as I originally wanted to use smart lighting for sleep hygiene, specifically controlling light temperature to aid sleep. Now that we have timers that include colour and brightness settings I can simulate sunset type colours to gradually darken through the evening. Yay! Thanks developers!My only wish is that we could get a full colour spectrum option rather than being limited to a group of presets - I’m not sure if this is a software or hardware limitation but it would be really neat. Eg. at the moment there are only 2 shades of green, and you can’t even get onto green cycling through on the remote.

Still in development

The app and the system are promising, but there are still bugs to be worked out. For example, setting a timer works, but you then can’t remove timers ever again “Oops: Timers are still loading. Please try again in a few seconds.” Well, I’ve tried after days and still have the same problem. Then devices vanish, some turn up again as a new name, others become uncontrollable even though they are next to functioning ones. These are all basic functions and need to be worked out.

Setting up timers is very buggy

Most features of this app have worked well except for setting up timers. When I use the feature to set a light to come on at 5pm, the wheel keeps scrolling backwards or forwards so I’m unable to select the desired time for the light to turn on and off. It takes quite a lot of fiddling around to try and get the desired timings set. When I eventually set the timer for the two lights to come on at 5pm, they turned on at 4pm instead. The main reason we bought the smart light system was for the timers. Please come up with a fix for this bug. It’s extremely frustrating and could make the difference between a substandard product that could be great - all because the app has failed to deliver.

Not a bad start ... but still issues

The app has a nice layout and is pretty usable. Combined with the good prices for the hardware it is amazing. It’s just not perfect yet. App crashes. The hub needs an Ethernet connection (cable!) and the pairing requires to be a few cm of the bulbs. Some lights can’t be discovered every now and then (they work with the remote but not the app). My Symfonisk remote is still useless as it does not find any of my speakers (they are fine in the Sonos app but not in the Smart Home App). So still lots of issues ... but I can see this getting better over time.
