Ikea launched 21 new Matter-over-Thread smart home devices, including the Kajplats smart bulb collection, Bilresa wireless remotes, Grillplats smart plug, and five sensors for motion, doors/windows, water leaks, temperature/humidity, and air quality. The devices work across different brands and platforms, with US availability starting January 2026 for remotes and sensors, and April 2026 for bulbs. Ikea's Dirigera hub now officially supports Matter controller functionality, allowing users to control Matter devices from other manufacturers through Ikea's Home Smart app.
