Introduction

In This Guide
You'll Learn How To:
  • Add an Ikea Tradfri control outlet to your Zigbee smart home hub
Your existing smart hub system must support the Zigbee wireless communication protocol.
Due to the large number of different Zigbee control systems available, it will not be possible to give exact, step-by-step instructions. Rather, this guide will give you a general overview of what to look for to successfully add your Ikea Tradfri control outlet to your existing hub.
Ikea Tradfri control outlets act just like any other Zigbee compatible control outlet you may already be using with your system.
