Dear trådfri team. After switching to Dirigera I was very disappointed with your choice of blocking of non-google Android variants.

In the reviews you frame it like this:

>For security reasons, our app is designed to run only on devices with official Google Play Services and a locked bootloader. It does not support rooted devices or custom operating systems like GrapheneOS. We apologize for the inconvenience. /IKEA Home smart

I want to blunt: this is theater.

You are effectively:

  • stricter than my banking apps
  • force me to use an old phone for Ikea only that hasn't seen patches for years
  • force others to use Google infrastructure when there is no reason
  • ignore other, secure ways of device attestation (see: here )

Please, you are not providing fort knox. You are providing a glorified circuit breaker. I implore you to either relax your nonsensical strit rules or at least support the ever growing community of Grapheneos and support their device attestation as well.
