Compatibility & protocols

Can I develop the TRÅDFRI system by getting access to the systems API?
Not in the first release. But IKEA is working towards an open system.

Which protocols are the Smart lighting products using?
Our Smart lighting products use the ZigBee Light Link. You can find more information at zigbee.org.

Are IKEA Smart lighting products compatible with other ZigBee products?
The IKEA Smart lighting products are certified as ZigBee Light Link and are compatible with other products according to the ZigBee Alliance. You can find more information at zigbee.org.

How does IKEA Smart lighting work with my existing wired lighting system?
IKEA Smart lighting works in any standard electrical light outlet suitable for the bulb sizes provided. TRÅDFRI smart lighting can not however be used with a wired dimmer connection. You can always turn the light on and off using the wall switch connected to the lamp using TRÅDFRI light sources, or the lamp switch itself. This should not affect the bulbs’ pairing with any steering device.

Can I purchase more TRÅDFRI products over time and integrate them with my existing IKEA Smart lighting system?
Yes. You can purchase additional solitary and pre-paired kits from IKEA. They will work with the IKEA TRÅDFRI App and Gateway system.

Can I use other IKEA light bulbs in the Smart lighting system?
No, only TRÅDFRI light bulbs will work.

Can I add another TRÅDFRI light bulb, SURTE door, JORMLIEN door or FLOALT panel to my system?
Yes, you can expand your Smart lighting system. Watch the films to see how easy it is:
Add a TRÅDFRI dimming kit
Add bulbs, doors and panels
Add a TRÅDFRI motion sensor kit
Add FLOALT lighting panels

What happens if you try to use a TRÅDFRI light bulb with an analogue dimmer?
The light bulb will not work with a wired dimmer. It will flicker, buzz or shut off when it is connected.
