Smart Way to a Better Everyday Life

IKEA has always focused on creating clever home solutions. With IKEA Home smart, users can leverage new technology to control and automate tasks like adjusting lighting, operating blinds, managing fans, and playing music. These technology solutions are developed with a passion for life at home, aiming to create a better everyday experience in a sustainable, simple, and smart way.

Imagine waking up to a calmer, more comfortable morning. The system can automatically turn on dimmed lights, roll up blinds to let in morning sunshine, and play your favorite music, all without leaving your bed. This vision of a smart home reality is achievable with an IKEA Home smart ecosystem.

How to Get Started

You can begin with a complete smart home solution or start with a few components. For the full experience, consider the interconnected ecosystem. Alternatively, you can start small by controlling standalone products.

Ecosystem Approach

Choose the TRÅDFRI gateway and the IKEA Home smart app to build an interconnected system for controlling lights, sound, and other home products.

Standalone Approach

Opt for the TRÅDFRI remote control and smart light sources for extra functions and control with minimal setup.

The TRÅDFRI gateway and the IKEA Home smart app are key tools for building your smart ecosystem. They enable quick and easy creation and control of smart functions in an intuitive flow. You can start with any number of connected products and expand the system by adding up to 50 units to the gateway.

For those preferring standalone products not connected to the internet, the TRÅDFRI remote control and smart light sources are ideal. The remote can control up to 10 light sources, allowing you to turn them on/off, dim them, and change their color simultaneously.

Automation

Perfect Atmosphere Around the Clock

The IKEA Home smart concept aims to make life at home easier and more comfortable, from morning to evening. Customize functions, expand your system, and create the perfect atmosphere for any time of day. This is the essence of a smart home.

Adapt Lighting for All Activities

Lighting significantly impacts how we enjoy a room. Adapt lighting for various activities like cooking, homework, cleaning, watching TV, or hosting parties. Adjust brightness, color, turn lights on/off, and change the light from cold to warm.

The Right Scene at the Right Time, Every Time

Use the 'Scenes' feature in the IKEA Home smart app to group actions across multiple devices. For example, create a scene with warm lights, drawn blinds, and soothing music for dinner, or brighter lighting and energetic music for a workout. Favorite scenes can be assigned to shortcut buttons for quick access.

Enjoy Daylight and Privacy

Waking up to natural daylight is pleasant and healthy. In the evening, use smart blinds to ensure privacy and block out external light. Set them to roll up or down automatically or control them remotely from your bed.

Listen to Music, Stories, and Exciting Conversations

Music sets the mood for any occasion, from quiet mornings and cleaning to parties and romantic dinners. Podcasts and audiobooks offer new perspectives. Fill your entire home with sound, or play different audio in different rooms.

Sound That Blends In

Sonos excels in sound experience, while IKEA brings deep knowledge of home furnishing. This collaboration helps more people enjoy streamed music and radio without intrusive speakers. The combined picture frame and WiFi speaker is an example of their innovative solutions.

The thin profile of the picture frame speaker hides a deep acoustic volume, delivering big sound from a compact design.

Like other SYMFONISK speakers, the picture frame can integrate with Sonos speakers to form a larger sound system.

"Sound is a powerful partner in creating a sense of home. Like the soundtrack of your favorite movie, it creates an atmosphere that lets life take center stage.”
