Bizarre experience! – IKEA Home smart (TRÅDFRI) Review

There’s no indication how this app works with the TRÅDFRI gateway. No where prior to the setup I got an indication that I need to have a dimmer/remote control/motion sensor/wireless switch to proceed further in the app. I am stuck on the choose your device screen because no one told me I need one of those. This screen should at least have an option to skip or access the menu, which I can’t. From the gateway literature, I just thought I need the app or Alexa to make it work with the TRÅDFRI lights. Do I have to call ikea or go to the store again to figure this out?
