IKEA Unveils Affordable Smart-Home Line with 21 Matter-Compatible Products Across Global Markets
November 6, 2025
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.

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.
