What’s the difference between these two Apps? Official IKEA Trådfri App Unofficial IKEA Trådfri Gateway App Yesterday I replaced my WeMo, Hue, and Eve outlets by IKEA Trådfri outlets. My main way to control these outlets will be HomeKit (and IKEA’s App). It would be nice if I could also control t…

The difference is that with the “official” app (the one created by Athom), your IKEA devices pair directly with Homey. They become part of Homey’s Zigbee network.
