Nightmare

The last update broke the integration with the home app. What's the point of these updates if they break things instead of fixing them?

西姆弗斯 IKEA|SONOS🎵

我新买了西姆弗斯联名音箱,我想要一步直达,许愿一个播放小组件,如果能小组件开灯就更了!

PIMA

Works well when it works. Every few months, for no reason, it requires me to reset the whole system. Pain in my… I’m deleting it and just using the hockey puck.

Unfair

Looks like Ikea silently stopped supporting many TRADFRI devices.. Gateway, bulbs, remotes and motion sensors all stopped working. Don’t even see them in their App.
Not able to configure Gateway module. This is not fair on ikea part. After investing so much on ikea devices they stopped selling these products and also stopped wireless connectivity.

DO NOT BUY IKEA SMART PRODUCTS!!!!

They are garbage quality and an immense amount of work to get setup and configured. The app is garbage too. I can no longer control any of my smart blinds through the app and the automations have stopped working. Yet, I'm still able to control the blinds with the remotes. Makes no sense. Anyway, total garbage, do not buy, and good luck getting support.

WorstSmart Home Platform on the planet

It takes ages to add a single light bulb or even a switch
IKEA should stick to making beds and stay away from any smart home products
Worst experience ever

Broken!

Updated app is broken. Hub disappeared and was recognised as a new hub. After scanning QR code hub working but the only options available to me are add devices!

很好很方便

网关硬件不卖了,软件要保持继续更新哦

Broken connection

The latest app update (June 2025) breaks connection to the gateway as well as devices

Bug with blinds

I control 3 blinds with the app.

There is a bug. If you slide a single blind to say 50% it also changes the position of the other blinds by a small amount. There is obviously an issue mapping the location of the button sliders in the app.

Terrible half the time functions don’t work

Can’t use some of the functions because it states my hub needs an update I go into updates section and everything is up to date? Bulbs don’t pair, clicking on/off buttons to turn off the bulbs don’t work half of the time, changing colour temperature doesn’t work half of the time, I have good WiFi there’s no reason for these functions to behave like that. Will be switching to a philips hub as I had a better experience there with my Ikea bulbs.

호환성 개판

장치 하나 연결할 때마다 30분 이상씩 걸립니다

Stopped working

I’ve used the home smart app with my tradfri gateway to control lights for years and it suddenly stopped working. By it, I mean the app. The app just won’t open. I click it, the screen of my iPhone flickers and nothing happens. App is up to date. Very frustrating because now I can’t control any of my devices. Haven’t been able to find anything online to solve this issue. Shame because I was a big fan up until now.

App Crashing

Can’t open the app anymore without it crashing.

Gets the job done, stable with HomeKit

Kudos to IKEA for continuing to maintain this app and the Tradfri gateway. My setup is quite reliable with Apple HomeKit. It would be nice if the app was a bit more intuitive for grouping and managing devices, but I guess I need to get a Dirigera if I want the latest and greatest.

App won’t open

Literally can’t control the lights in my home because the app won’t open

Doesn’t connect

The hub works with another phone but won’t connect via this app.

Buggy and

Too many bugs
