Overview
- The range includes 11 KAJPLATS bulbs, five sensors (motion, door/window, temperature‑humidity, air quality, leak), new BILRESA remotes, and the GRILLPLATS smart plug with energy monitoring.
- Dirigera now onboards third‑party Matter devices, supports Thread credential sharing, and exposes categories like energy and air‑quality readings in the Ikea Home Smart app under Matter 1.3.
- Rollout begins in parts of Europe immediately, with U.S. availability slated for January 2026 for remotes and sensors and April 2026 for bulbs.
- UK prices undercut rivals—bulbs at £4–£9, the dual‑button remote at £3, the scroll‑wheel remote at £4, and the Alpstuga IAQ monitor at £25—while U.S. pricing is not yet announced.
- New devices can pair directly via TouchLink for simple use without a hub and remain compatible with existing Ikea Zigbee remotes, while full interoperability extends to Apple Home, Google Home, Alexa, and SmartThings through Matter.
