IKEA Announces Affordable Smart Home Sensors

The sensors, priced under $10, are set for staggered US release in 2024.

  • IKEA has announced the release of three new smart home sensors: Parasoll, a door and window sensor; Vallhorn, a wireless motion sensor; and Badring, a water leakage sensor.
  • Each sensor is priced under $10, making them affordable additions to IKEA's smart home product line.
  • The sensors are compatible with IKEA's Dirigera Hub, but only the Vallhorn sensor is compatible with the older Tradfri gateway.
  • The sensors are set to be available in the US in a staggered release: Vallhorn in January, Parasoll in April, and Badring in July 2024.
  • Despite previous promises, IKEA has yet to upgrade its Dirigera hub to support Matter, a next-generation smart home standard.
