Whether Symfonisk, Myrvarv, Starkvind or Fyrtur – IKEA has a wide range of affordable smart home products in its range, including smart lamps, speakers, blinds and air purifiers. However, anyone who is currently looking for the “Trådfri” smart home series in the online shop of Sweden will quickly see in the list of results that the bestseller, the “Trådfri gateway” and sets with the gateway “only available for a short time”. are. This suggests that IKEA is taking the item out of the program – and replacing it with a new device. Because without the central control unit, nothing shines, sounds or moves in the smart home. It connects the smart devices to the Internet and supports their control.

Will Dirigera soon replace Trådfri?
According to Caschy’s blog, the Swedish furniture store is preparing to release a new smart home gateway. A hub called “IKEA E2003 Dirigera” was listed with the CSA (formerly Zigbee Alliance) for a few days. However, it has since been removed. According to Caschy, it should be a Zigbee 3.0 controller. More is currently not known. IKEA itself has not yet commented on such plans. It is also uncertain how long the Trådfri gateway will be available.
