Installation & Use Review: IKEA's TRåDFRI (Tredfuri) was ideal for the first smart lighting

Easy -to -use price for the first smart lighting

IKEAのスマート照明シリーズ「TRÅDFRI（トロードフリ）」はZigbeeという通信プロトコルで動いている。

聞き覚えのない読者も多いだろう。Bluetoothのような短距離無線通信だが、多接続と低電力という点でそれよりも優れているのでホームIoTの接続に多用されている規格だ。

たとえば、PhilipsのHueシリーズもそうだし、Amazon Echo PlusやGoogle Home Hubのような「スマートホーム機能付き」が謳われているAIスピーカーに搭載されているのもZigbeeのゲートウェイ（複数のZigbee機器を集約する仕組み）だ。

Of course, there is a gateway in TRåDFRI.That's here.

TRåDFRI Gateway is 4,499 yen (hereinafter all priced at the time of writing).It depends on the person whether this is expensive or cheap, but it is definitely cheaper than other products.

PHILIPS's gateway (sold under the name of a bridge) is 7,146 yen, and the Amazon Echo and Echo Plus have only the difference in the gateway function, but the price difference is 6,000 yen.

Meanwhile, it is truly the fact that the gateway was introduced at a price of less than 5,000 yen.

Design that thinks about making the house comfortable

The set of gateway is easy.Just insert the Ethernet cable and power.However, I saw an IKEA's unique commitment, which continued to think about making the house comfortable.

Icons written on the outer box.Android4.From 4 or later, it is shown that there is an application corresponding to iOS 8 or later, and the Zigbee icon can be confirmed.

This is all of the contents.

The two cables above are Ethernet cable and power supply (microUSB-B terminal), and the bottom is a power socket, body, and cover from the left.

This cover is quite enthusiastic,

After inserting the cable into the main unit,

If you wrap it around,

All extra are hidden in the cover.

I think that connecting with a wired Ethernet cable will be installed in a corner of your home with a Wi-Fi router or a line termination device.It is often near the wall modular jack, that is, a place where a landline is assumed to be "a landline" -Mostly in the house.

This design does not need to be exposed to a cluttered cable there can only be said.
