How to connect Ikea Dirigera? (HomeKit not working?)

[aUser]

I have one and have it connected. You need to connect the Dirigera to the Ikea Smart Home app. Then set the Dirigera into discovery mode via ‘Integrations’ in the Smart Home App settings (click the ‘Profile’ bottom right, then click on the image of the Dirigera for the Settings). When you get told to scan the QR code, you should put the code from the back of your Dirigera into your HomeKit integrations on your Home Assistant instance.

I had to remove the previous integration to my Apple environment first. Will be interested to hear how you go. I’m new to HA, got here because I felt limited first by the Ikea app, then HomeKit integration. HA yellow now on the way and the Dirigera will probably get relegated.

I found this thread useful:

New IKEA Dirigera hub

I finally figured out how to make it work again with the HomeKit Controller/Device integration. For everyone still struggling with the HomeKit based setup, try it this way: It seems like a firmware update hid the auto-discovery of the Dirigera Hub behind a setting in the app. To trigger auto-discovery in Home Assistant you need to go to the hubs partner service settings in the app and try to connect it from there with HomeKit. But then don’t scan the code in the back of the hub with your phone!…
