With IKEA Home smart app and DIRIGERA hub, it's easy to create smarter everyday moments with lighting, speakers, blinds and air quality products. Picture yourself waking up as your smart lights gently rise. Your favourite songs play on the speakers and you still haven't gotten out of bed. How lovely, right? Smart products like lighting, speakers, blinds and air purifiers can make a lovely addition to your everyday life. When you improve the IQ of your home, life itself runs a bit smoother. The magic happens when you combine two or more smart products from IKEA, tell them what to do in the app and save it as a 'Scene'. A great scene is one you will use often. Think about waking up and going to bed, cooking and eating, date night and family time, or leaving and coming home. All everyday moments when we can support you with the best lighting, sound that suits your mood, and cleaner air. When it comes to control, we think of everyone, from young to old and even visitors. So while the app gives you total control to customise your smart home, our range of remotes make it easy for everyone to live with and use a smart home. In control • You can control products individually or in groups. You can turn whole rooms on and off or the whole home, all at once. • Dim and change light colours, adjust blinds, speaker volume, and much more. • Set the scenes you need and trigger them with schedules, a shortcut button or use the app. Easy to use • The home screen gives a fast overview of your whole home. Quickly control products, access rooms, or start/stop scenes. This is also where you add new products, rooms, and scenes. Organised and personal • Organising your smart products in rooms gives fast access to the products you want to control. • Personalise the app with your choice of icons, names and colours for rooms and products • Create personal scenes, for example your own combination of cosy lighting and your favourite music. Integrations • Connect to Apple Home, Amazon Alexa or Google Home to use a voice assistant.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: DiO one at 61% against IKEA Home smart's 33%. DiO one also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). IKEA Home smart's advantage is rating (4.4 vs 4.1) and ratings volume (1.4K vs 26). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

IKEA Home smart holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: IKEA Home smart has 1.4K ratings behind it against 26, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 61% of DiO one's written reviews are positive against 33% of IKEA Home smart's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

DiO one ships an update every 2 months, IKEA Home smart fortnightly. Both last shipped on November 7, 2026.
