Tunable bulbs, Comes with remote control
Convoluted setup, Doesn't work with other smart-home systems, App is too simple, Can't control lights outside your home, Expensive
It's intriguing that Ikea is getting into the smart-home space, but its initial effort falls apart as easily as one of its particle-board beds after one too many moves. While I like that it includes a remote and that you can change the color temperature...

Ikea's Tradfri smart bulbs are bright, efficient and very good at dimming. They don't cost very much either, especially if you skip the gateway hub and go with the budget-priced bundles that include a bulb and a remote accessory, instead
The gateway hub in the full-priced starter kit doesn't work with any third-party services or devices, so you can't add these bulbs to a larger smart-home platform or control them using a voice assistant like Siri or Alexa
Ikea's $80 gateway kit is too basic to recommend, but there's some sneaky value in Tradfri's other, cheaper bundles...
Affordable, Easy to set up and use, Well-designed app, Can be used in a more basic mode without setting up Wi-Fi, Alexa controls work well
Dimming can be a little laggy, Limited functionality compared to competitors, Range of colours is lacking
Verdict With the addition of voice controls, the IKEA Tradfri has improved considerably since its initial launch. Pros Affordable Easy to set up and use Well-designed app Can be used in a more basic mode without setting up Wi-Fi Alexa controls work well C...

Smart-lighting aficionados will want to look elsewhere, but for everyone else, the Ikea Trådfri is a cheap and easy way to make your home lighting that little bit smarter...

One of the cheapest routes into smart lighting, Simple to use and set up, Doesn't need a hub or app to work, Has unique illuminating furniture panels
No colour bulbs, No voice control, Not compatible with IFTTT or Apple HomeKit, Motion sensor is indooronly
The Trådfri range is classic Ikea: simple, good value and strangely addictive. If you pick up some bulbs with your armful of Marketplace goodies and meatballs lunch, you won't be disappointed. That said, it's far from the smartest lighting out there, and...

Perhaps the most interesting and potentially useful aspect of Ikea's smart lighting system is that the system is ZigBee Light Link-compatible, which means the bulbs should work with other smart lighting systems employing the same system. That includes Phi...

Die App ist sehr ordentlich und die Unterstützung für 3. Anbieter Systeme wie Amazons Alexa oder Apples HomeKit vorbildlich. Allerdings ist die einzige bunte (RGB) Glühbirne welche für das Ikea TRÅDFRI System verfügbar ist eher von mäßiger Qualität. Solltet Ihr also gerne buntes Licht mögen, gibt es bessere Systeme für Euch. Dennoch was die Preis/Leistung angeht ist das Ikea TRÅDFRI System kaum zu schlagen.
