Summary: The best part of using ikea smart products with an ikea hub is having an easier setup and automation with other 3rd party apps. The best part is that you can use sensors as part of your apple HomeKit device to set triggers via that for any device whether it is Ikea or not.

Unfortunately Ikea Tradfri switches/dimmers aren't exposed in the HomeKit, however you can still link them to any ikea product in smart home app of Ikea, meaning you can only link them to Ikea devices.

Good news! Ikea sensors and shortcut buttons are showing up in HomeKit successfully, so you can use them with any HomeKit products to automate your smart home devices.

After new matter update, you will have these 3rd party bulbs exposed to apple home kit. I’ll have the matter update soon to show how these limitations can be prevented easily with upcoming video!
