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...
Affordable, Easy to set up and use, Well-designed app, Can be used without Wi-Fi
No coloured bulbs, No voice control, Limited functionality compared to competitors
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...

Une des solutions les moins chères, Simple à utiliser et à installer, N'a pas besoin d'une plateforme ou d'une appli pour fonctionner, Des panneaux lumineux uniques
Pas d'ampoules colorées, Pas de commande vocale, Incompatible avec IFTTT et l'Apple Homekit, Capteur de mouvement intérieur uniquement
La gamme Trådfri est en accord avec Ikea: elle est simple, c'est un bon rapport qualité/prix, et est étrangement addictive. Si vous parvenez à glisser quelques ampoules dans votre panier plein à craquer de gadgets et de boulettes, vous ne serez pas déçu...

Lots of product options, Affordable, With or without Zigbee hub
Only ten lamps per group, Coupling with hub only possible through control unit, Internet control only via Apple/Amazon/Google
Philips Hue is niet alleen het oudste, maar ook het duurste en meest uitgebreide slimme verlichtingssysteem. De mogelijkheden zijn zeer uitgebreid, waardoor het soms iets ingewikkelder is om alles logisch te configureren. Omwille van...
Relatief betaalbaar (zeker als je gaan uitbreiden), App is simpel en gebruiksvriendelijk, Zonder app is het plug and play,
Met name de installatie met de hub gaat niet vlekkeloos, Hue-integratie niet aan te raden voor beginners, Geen geofencing en gebruik buitenshuis
Al met al moeten we zeggen dat IKEA een simpel en goedkoop (eigenlijk goedkoper) alternatief voor Philips Hue biedt. Het Trådfri-systeem heeft nog wat haken en ogen maar die haken en ogen zien we vooral tijdens de installatie terug. Eenmaal geïnstalleerd...
