Overview
- Samsung and IKEA, which detailed the deal Thursday, enabled SmartThings control of 25 IKEA devices without an IKEA Bridge for models that use Matter over Thread.
- Supported products include lamps, door and window sensors, motion and water detectors, temperature and air sensors, and the Bilresa dial remote.
- Only newer Matter‑over‑Thread models are eligible, which still require a SmartThings hub.
- Samsung says the rollout uses the Thread 1.4 standard.
- The partnership underscores that Matter has not yet delivered seamless cross‑platform setup, after reports that IKEA devices often needed an IKEA hub despite Matter labels.
