IKEA launches 21 new smart home products, all of them Matter-compatible

There’s good news today for HomeKit fans on a budget: IKEA has announced the launch of 21 new smart home products, all of them Matter-compatible.

The new lineup comprises 11 different smart bulbs, five types of sensor, three remote controls, and a new smart plug …

When IKEA first entered the smart home market, its products were considerably cheaper than most competitor devices. The company promised HomeKit support would be coming, but this took a very long time to materialize.

However, the company has now gone all-in on Matter support, which makes all its new products HomeKit compatible by default. IKEA describes it as a complete relaunch of its smart home lineup, comprising a mix of improved and brand new products.

With this launch, IKEA is rebuilding its smart home system and product range from the ground up. The new launch reflects years of development and testing in real homes, and a growing understanding of how people want smart products to work in their daily life. The launch includes both new products and updates to existing categories – now built to work with Matter […]

“This launch is about making the smart home experience better and broader. We’re upgrading our most-appreciated products while also adding new ones to solve even more everyday challenges. Our focus has been on keeping things simple from setup to daily use, so it’s easy for people to start, use and grow a smart home,” says Stjepan Begic, Product Developer at IKEA of Sweden. 

If you don’t already have a Matter smart home hub, then IKEA offers one. Its Dirigera Hub also acts as a bridge for earlier IKEA products, effectively giving them Matter compatibility retroactively.

The complete lineup of new products is shown below.
