IKEA Tradfri and Dirigera

IKEA never published a local API for either hub, but the community reversed both, and the bulbs are plain Zigbee underneath, so you can skip the hub entirely.

What it can become

What owners already do with it, easiest first.

An evening~20 minNo risk

Automate the Dirigera hub without IKEA's cloud

Press the button on top of the hub once to mint a token, then control lights, blinds and sensors from your own code or Home Assistant over the LAN.

An evening~20 minNo risk

Control the older white gateway locally

The original Tradfri gateway speaks CoAP. One security code printed under the box gets you full local control, no IKEA account involved.

An evening~40 minNo risk

Drop the hub, keep the bulbs

Tradfri and Dirigera bulbs are standard Zigbee. Pair them to your own Zigbee coordinator and they work next to any other brand, hub-free.
