The IKEA Home smart 1 app supports the TRÅDFRI gateway and older range of smart products by IKEA. We are no longer actively improving this app, however existing features and products already connected to a TRÅDFRI gateway will continue to function as usual. Smart products by IKEA continue to evolve and the new range uses Matter technology. The TRÅDFRI gateway and IKEA Home smart 1 app are not compatible with Matter, so we recommend the DIRIGERA hub and IKEA Home smart app instead.  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

About

Count Fill

Features
Read full description

Count Fill turns something you already do every night — charging your phone — into a bedtime ritual. Instead of counting sheep, you count something real: the percentage left until your phone reaches 100%. A calm, soothing voice counts it down for you — sixty-three, sixty-two, sixty-one — while a gentle ambient soundtrack plays underneath. As your phone quietly fills up, so do you. When the battery reaches 100%, the voice says "zero," just once. Then nothing more, until you wake up and tap the screen for a short "good morning." HOW IT WORKS WITH YOUR IPHONE Count Fill is designed to work together with iOS's Optimized Battery Charging. Turn that feature on, and your iPhone already knows roughly when you wake up — finishing the last stretch of charging right before then. Count Fill's "zero" rides along with it, so you don't need to set a wake-up time yourself. (It may not line up perfectly in your first few days of use, or on nights your schedule is unusual — that's expected. Also, due to how iOS works, the battery level is only reported in 5% increments, so the percentage shown in the app may differ slightly from what's displayed in your iPhone's own battery indicator.) A QUIET CLOCK, TOO Lay your phone flat on the nightstand while it charges, and Count Fill doubles as a soft, dim clock — a big number, an analog face, and a digital time, in tones designed not to startle you if you wake in the night. FOUR VOICES Choose the narrator you like best from four calm voices — two male, two female — each with their own goodnight and good morning lines. MUSIC THAT SHIFTS THROUGH THE NIGHT An ambient soundtrack plays right after you plug in, grows quieter as you settle into deep sleep, and shifts to a brighter, morning-appropriate track just before you wake. With Wi-Fi connected, the tracks rotate day to day. FREE, WITH ONE OPTIONAL PURCHASE Count Fill is free to use, supported by a small banner ad. If a quiet, uninterrupted screen matters to you at bedtime, a single one-time purchase removes ads for good — there's no subscription.
