Hello

i am a new Home Assistant user, looking at add intelligent to my home :slightly_smiling_face:

i have already integrated Victron Data, SensorPush thermometer and some ESP8266 thermometer … so far so good

i would like to add lights, and outlet

i am looking a TRÅDFRI product from Ikea or other

Do we need a Gateway for those?

Do you have other brand to recommended ?

tks

The IKEA devices use the ZigBee protocol. There are many ZigBee gateways you can buy, I have the ConBee 2. It’s great, long range and reliable. IKEA do sell a ZigBee gateway but I think you will have better compatibility with non-IKEA devices by using something like the Conbee 2.
