Complete IKEA Smart Home Setup in under 4 mins!

Setting up the IKEA DIRIGERA smart home hub? This step-by-step tutorial walks you through the entire process, from plugging it in to pairing your first devices. In this video I cover: - Powering up the DIRIGERA hub - Adding the hub to the IKEA Home smart app - Setting up your home, rooms, and firmware updates - Pairing a Zigbee contact sensor (door and window sensor) - Pairing an IKEA remote button via Matter & Thread - Confirming whether DIRIGERA is truly a dual-protocol hub (spoiler: it is!) By the end of the tutorial you'll have a working DIRIGERA hub running both Zigbee and Thread devices side by side, which makes it a surprisingly capable budget option for anyone building out a smart home. This is a clipped tutorial from a longer video where I head to IKEA, pick up the products, and give my full review.
