IKEA expands its smart homeโฃ lineup with โa new range of devices supporting theโ Matter interoperabilityโข standard, priced from ยฃ3 toโฃ ยฃ25. The collection โincludes a smart socket, five new sensors-motion, door/window, water leak, temperature/humidity, and air quality-and builds on โIKEA’sโค commitment toโข accessible smart home technology.
The launch underscores IKEA’s role as a key proponent of matter, โคa unifying connectivity standard poised to resolve fragmentation in the smart home market. This move promises consumers greater โflexibility and choice, allowing devices from different manufacturers to โคseamlessly communicate. โฃThe new devices are rolling out toโ IKEA stores this month,beginning in the UK,and represent a meaningful step towardโ broader adoption of smart home technology by lowering cost barriers.
The new range features the Grillplats smartโ socket for remote control and energy monitoring.โ Sensor additions include โthe Myggspray motion sensor, Myggbett door and โคwindow โsensor, Klippbok water leakโ detector, Timmerflotteโ temperature and humidity sensor (with โLED display), and the โAlpstuga air quality sensor, which measures CO, PM2.5 particles, temperature, โคand humidity.
IKEA’s strategy centers on affordability, with prices โranging from ยฃ3 โtoโ ยฃ25 โคin โtheโ UK, whereโ the devices are โalready available forโ purchase. Thisโข pricing structure aims โtoโค make smart home solutionsโ available to a wider audience, furthering the democratization of theโค technology.
This release builds on IKEA’s existing smartโค home ecosystem and reinforces its dedication โคto the โMatter standard, signaling a futureโข where interoperability is becoming a reality forโ smart home users.
