With the TRÅDFRI gateway and app you can create different moods and control each light individually: turn them off and on, dim light intensity, choose the color and change from warm to cool. The TRÅDFRI gateway and IKEA Home Smart app allow you to create different groups of light sources and control them in a number of ways.

How to install a motion sensor kit
Open the lid on the back of the motion sensor and install the included batteries. Set the moon symbol to have the motion sensor activate light only when it’s dark or set it on the sun symbol to have it work when it’s daytime. You can also set the time to have it turn off after 1, 5 or 10 minutes without motion.

Adding or removing light sources
Connect a new LED light to the remote control
It’s very easy to add new light sources such as bulbs, doors and panels to your remote control.
Install the light source and turn on the main power switch.
Keep the remote control within less than 5cm of the light source and press the pairing button for 10 seconds (located under the remote control lid).
A red light will shine on the remote control and, when it’s paired successfully, the light source will dim and blink once.

Connect lamps with several LED lights to the remote control
If you have a light source with more than one light bulb, you’ll need to pair them one by one. Install your first light bulb, pair it and then remove it. Then install the second light bulb, pair and remove it, etc. Do this with all the light bulbs.
