IKEA’s smart home lineup is finally moving to Matter, with affordable sensors and remotes that fix old limits and play nicer with other platforms.
IKEA is no stranger to the smart home technology industry, spending the last decade refining its in-house gadgets to build its own ecosystem. In recent years, IKEA has covered as much ground as you’d want from a furniture retailer; you have plenty of choice between things like bulbs, motion detectors, temperature readers, and remote controls, to name a few. But something that has stopped the company from being as popular as other competitors in the segment is the fact that it hasn’t been Matter-compatible. IKEA’s products have historically used ZigBee exclusively, but this is finally changing.
As part of a major overhaul of its smart home line, IKEA is planning to release 21 new products, all designed with Matter connectivity at the forefront. ZigBee will still be available, with the Dirigera hub now able to support both platforms. While these products will be gradually released throughout 2026, a handful of them are now available on IKEA’s site for purchase. Here’s a look at five of these products that we’re most excited about.Myggbett door/window sensor
One of the brand-new models to feature in IKEA’s first drop of Matter-ready products is the Myggbett. A bit different from other smart products within the brand’s new range, the Myggbett is a small, understated door and window sensor that detects when doors and windows are opened or closed. Priced at $7.99, the new product should be far more versatile compared to the outgoing Parasoll, being able to connect to the major smart systems.
At the moment, just a white version of the product is available, but that shouldn’t be much of an issue. The Myggbett is one of the best gadgets among the new bunch for safety, with notifications being sent to your phone when it’s connected to a hub. IKEA also promotes the idea of pairing the sensor with a smart lightbulb. The new Myggspray is another motion detector that’ll turn on lights automatically, but won’t provide the same level of instant safety.
