Overview
- The new lineup spans Kajplats smart bulbs, two Bilresa remotes, a Grillplats smart plug, and five sensors including motion, contact, leak, temperature/humidity, and the Alpstuga air-quality monitor with CO2 and PM2.5.
- Dirigera now operates as a Matter controller and Thread border router running Matter 1.3 and Thread 1.4, enabling Thread credential sharing and richer data such as energy and air-quality readings.
- Ikea says the devices begin rolling out in some countries this month, with US availability set for January 2026 for remotes and sensors and April 2026 for bulbs.
- UK prices start at £3 for remotes and £4–£9 for bulbs, with several sensors at £5–£7 and the Alpstuga air-quality monitor at £25.
- New Thread devices can pair directly with Ikea Zigbee gear via TouchLink for use without a hub, while Dirigera can onboard supported third‑party Matter devices into the Home Smart app.
