According to IKEA, this refresh aims to make the smart home experience broader and better. All of the new products have been built to support the universal smart home standard Matter. Therefore, they should be compatible with a wider range of devices and platforms. To make the experience better, the company says it focused on making devices affordable and easy to use.
“Until now, smart home technology hasn’t been easy enough to use for most people — or affordable enough for many to consider,” says David Granath, IKEA’s range manager. “This launch brings us closer to helping everyone feel ready and confident to get started.”
For this launch, the new products all center around three key segments of the smart home: lights, sensors, and controls.
