Summary

This documentation describes how to set up IKEA TRÅDFRI

Requirements

A mobile device running either Android 4.1 or later, or iOS 9.0 or later
Hardware: IKEA TRÅDFRI Typ E1526 (Gateway), WiFi router

Description

Gateway opened up and plugged in

Step 1: Hardware Setup

Connect the TRÅDFRI to your router, using a straight network cable
Connect the micro usb power cable into the TRÅDFRI, and plug it in

Step 2: Home Smart App

In order to set up your TRÅDFRI, you are required to install the IKEA Home Smart App either for Android or iOS:

Follow the instructions within the app.

Used Hardware

Mandadory:

Tradfri_Gateway

Optional:

Possible Alternatvie Methods

As of today, there is no official alternative to the suggested setup via app. A simple nmap scan however reveales an (unencrypted) open port 80 which requires authentication (HTTP status code 470, no form, nor any HTML).

→ Listening into a live connection (e.g. Wireshark & Android Emulator), might give further insight into other possibilities.
