-    <p>Last month IKEA released a new home automation lineup called <a href="http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/categories/departments/lighting/36812/">Trådfri</a>. It consists of white bulbs, dimming remotes, color temperature remotes and motion sensors. After almost two weeks of research, we have come to the conclusion that this is going to be the perfect companion hardware to work with Home Assistant. Here is the gist of our breakdown:</p>
-<ul>
-  <li><strong>Works out of the box.</strong> You can get started by just buying the already paired light and remote. You only need to buy the gateway if you want to set time-based rules for your lights or use your phone as a remote.</li>
-  <li><strong>Local only hub.</strong> No cloud that gathers data about how you live your life and it will keep working even if IKEA stops supporting it.</li>
-  <li><strong>Based on open standards.</strong> It uses Zigbee between devices and CoAP/dTLS to talk to the gateway. This means that you are not locked into a single vendor. You can pair it with Philips Hue bulbs and other compatible vendors.</li>
-  <li><strong>Affordable.</strong> Lights start at $12 standalone and $20 if bundled with a remote (USA prices).</li>
-  <li><strong>Useful design.</strong> The gateway has built-in space to hide excess cables and remotes come with magnetic holders for on the wall.</li>
-  <li><strong>Able to subscribe to changes (local push).</strong> Automations will be able to instantly respond to changes to device states by subscribing to the gateway for changes.</li>
-  <li><strong>Full integration in Home Assistant 0.43 (scheduled for release April 22).</strong> Our community built a standalone library <a href="https://github.com/ggravlingen/pytradfri">pytradfri</a> and we use it in Home Assistant. Home Assistant will automatically discover gateways on your network and guide the user to set them up.</li>
-  <li><strong>Downside: no integration with other systems yet.</strong> There are rumors that Homekit support will land in October and I expect both Google Home and Amazon Echo to eventually add support. Use Home Assistant to connect them all in the meanwhile.</li>
-  <li><strong>Semi-downside: you can’t control your lights remotely.</strong> Because it’s local only, you won’t be able to control your lights remotely unless via a third-party integration.</li>
-</ul>
