IKEA DIRIGERA HUB REVIEW – a new era for the smart home!
DIRIGERA's most notable feature is that it is compatible with the Matter protocol for smart homes, a standard developed by Amazon, Apple, Google and other tech giants who all wanted an industry standard for their smart home devices that makes them compatible with each other. The hub also claims to have an easy onboarding process for other devices, and with the IKEA Home smart app you'll be able to bring the rest of IKEA's smart products individually or in groups, as well as add more devices than IKEA's older TRÅDFRI device.
Unfortunately, IKEA didn't reveal much about its other features. Lifewire asked IKEA about the DIRIGERA's dimensions and whether it connects via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, but was met with silence. However, Ikea announced that you can customize its new smart hub with presets for specific activities.
Meanwhile, the revamped Home app is said to be "easy to navigate and user-friendly," according to IKEA. With the Home app, you'll be able to connect all of its other smart products and control them from the app, including the company's smart air purifiers and shade curtains.
