IKEA is growing its smart home device offerings with a new hub called the DIRIGERA and updating its Home smart app.
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 were met with silence. However, Ikea did announce that you can personalize its new smart hub using pre-sets 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.
The DIRIGERA’s price tag is yet to be revealed, but it and the new app will be launching in October 2022. Ikea has plans to add an away-from-home feature sometime in early 2023.
