IKEA Unveils Affordable Smart-Home Line with 21 Matter-Compatible Products Across Global Markets
  • IKEA is rolling out a comprehensive smart-home line built around Matter compatibility, featuring 21 new products across lighting, sensors, and control devices.

  • The sensing lineup includes five devices: motion/Myggspray, door/window/Myggbett, temperature/humidity/Timerflotte, air quality/Alpstuga (CO2 and particulates), and leak detection/Klippbok.

  • Kajplats smart bulbs come in 11 variants (including a range of base types) with dimmable white and full-color options, plus three sizes of decorative white-only bulbs; most work without the Dirigera hub and can operate with older remotes.

  • Pricing and exact release dates aren’t confirmed and may vary by market; a January window was hinted in a prior teaser.

  • Rollout will be sequential by market, with some countries targeting January 1 and others launching earlier as Matter devices replace Zigbee equivalents in local stores.

  • Europe begins selling the new range in November, with US launches planned for January (sensors and plugs) and April (lighting), though US pricing hasn’t been disclosed.

  • In the US, the new products are slated for January arrival, while Europe starts this month and lighting follows in April; UK pricing points to affordable options, such as the Bilresa remote at a low cost and Alpstuga IAQ clock priced around £25.

  • IKEA stresses affordability, ease of use, and practicality, built on years of in-home testing and product development.

  • Sales timing and local pricing will vary by market; customers should check their local IKEA market for specifics.

  • The article highlights affiliate links and related Apple products, indicating linked commerce alongside the coverage.

  • IKEA says it weighed affordability against simplicity, taking a patient, long-term approach guided by a 50-year outlook rather than rushing to market.

  • The shift to Matter and AI-enabled capabilities is framed as a multi-year evolution, with a fully connected, intuitive home expected to emerge over roughly five years.
