It it supporting somehow via homekit, but I have visible only lights, no remote. Maybe before for tradfri remote were not so useful, but at least you have seen battery status.

We have to wait for Matter/Thread integration

Yeah I was thinking the same thing. Once both HA and the Dirigera support Matter/Thread they don’t need Homekit anymore :slight_smile:

Has anyone found a way to connect it? I use Android, so homekit doesn’t work for me, it’s very frustrating this

Just put it on the same network as your HA and it will pop-up. Has nothing to do with Android or Apple…

I just got it working after a few tries!
Steps I took:

  1. I reset the Dirigera Hub to start from scratch (I also removed the hub from the Homekit-app)
  2. Added diregera hub again in Ikea’s own app and all the lights.
  3. Added Homekit as an Integration in the Ikea-app.
  4. Open up Home Assistant and add Homekit Controller integration.
  5. The dirigera hub will be found and ready to be integrated.

I found this thread stating that for Homekit controller to find the Dirigera hub, it can’t be connected to Homekit also. Home Kit Devices Not showing in Home Assistant - #2 by robertklep

Hope it helps someone.

Wait, so I need the Homekit integration in HA even though I don’t have Apple devices nor Apple Homekit? I am so confused.

I just checked the Ikea app and I only have Google and Amazon listed as possible integrations. Is that because I am on an Android phone?

Trying to get it to work with HomeKit doesn’t work for me, I don’t know how any of the HomeKit stuff works.

Any news on this? I am dying for a direct integration. Had so bad connectivity issues with the old TRÅDFRI hub, and now I moved to an house with 2 floors, and knew I needed something better. I bought the Dirigera hub, and it have been working flawlessly for me. So much more reliable than the TRÅDFRI hub, but now I cant use Home Assistant any more -_-

This doesn’t work for me

I am wanting to make an integration for this for a while now since I know there are a lot of people waiting on this. Except I don’t have the device, so if someone is in the Netherlands and can miss it for a few weeks I can take a look and make a native way to use the integration.

Correct me if I am wrong but, once they release their Matter support, it will be supported through that?

22

Does IKEA have an open API to do so?

23

I don’t know, but I know there are some other initiatives that reverse engineered the API. So I have to do the same but in Python and it should work :slight_smile:

24

Based on the number of projects on GitHub that are interfacing directly with the Dirigera API, would it be reasonable to say this integration is possible?

Yeah, that’s basically what I had to do in the end.
Doesn’t really work through the IKEA integration yet.
Not sure about Smartthings, but probably not. Google Home integration is currently broken. Works though Alexa but not in a particularly way for Home Assistant.
Few hours writing some code to glue the python library to a light entity seems to work a treat (but the brightness is a bit funky rn).

26

The google home integrations with IKEA is up and running again - I found out a few days ago!

27

Where in NL do you live, and what do you need? The dirigera hub?

28

Around Utrecht, preferably the hub and some device to test with

Dirigera doesn’t publish sensors over it’s API for some reason, not that I know of, at least. I have Dirigera connected as a Homekit device. Works flawlessly.
