Ikea to Launch a Bunch of Matter over Thread devices in 2026

Ikea is introducing 21 new smart home products focused on lighting, sensors, and control, all designed to work using Matter over Thread. The launch aims to make smart home technology easier to use, more affordable, and better suited to everyday living.

With this release, Ikea is rebuilding its smart home system and product range. According to Ikea, this follows several years of development and testing in real homes, based on how people use and expect smart products to function.

The range includes both new products and updates to existing ones, now compatible with Matter. This allows Ikea’s smart devices to connect with a wider variety of platforms and brands, making it easier for customers to create a connected home.

The updated range focuses on three main areas that form the foundation of a straightforward, flexible smart home:

• Lighting: smart bulbs in different shapes, sizes, brightness levels, and styles, including colour and white spectrum options with dimming features.
• Sensors: motion, air quality, humidity, and water leakage sensors to support comfort and help prevent damage.
• Control: remotes for managing devices from a distance, and a smart plug that can make existing products controllable.

All Matter-enabled devices require a smart home hub, such as Ikea’s Dirigera hub or one from another brand. As a certified Matter controller, the Dirigera hub can manage smart devices from different manufacturers. Acting as a Matter Bridge, it also ensures that existing Ikea smart products without Matter support can still work with Matter-compatible platforms.

This launch is the first stage in a broader update to the Ikea Home smart range. Ikea plans to expand into new product categories with an emphasis on usability and affordability.

The KAJPLATS smart bulb range includes eleven variations, offering a mix of shapes, sizes, lumen levels, and styles — with options for both colour and white spectrum, as well as dimmable functionality. Compared to the previous TRÅDFRI range, each bulb has more functionality, including more colour options and broader light intensity spans.

Smart sensors: Five variations for motion, air quality, humidity and water leakage designed to support wellbeing and prevent damage.

• MYGGSPRAY – Motion sensor for indoor and outdoor use that turns on lighting automatically in areas like entrances, staircases, garages, or anywhere you need hands-free light.
• MYGGBETT – Door/Window sensor. Detects when a door or window is opened or closed, and if connected to a smart system you can get notifications on your phone. Also works for spaces like walk-in closets, where it can trigger a light to turn on or off.
• TIMMERFLOTTE – Temperature and Humidity Sensor. Measures the indoor climate at home. Press the button to view temperature, followed by humidity — one after the other.
• ALPSTUGA – Air quality sensor. Measures CO₂, particles (PM2.5), temperature, and humidity to show the air quality in your home. Built to work together with IKEA air purifiers for better indoor air. Can also display the time
• KLIPPBOK – Water leakage sensor. Detects leaks and alerts you with a sound – and can also send a notification to your phone when connected to a hub. Small enough to place under sinks, appliances, or other risk areas.

Remote controls and plugs:

• BILRESA remote control with dual button – A simple way to control smart products from afar. Use it to switch lights on or off, adjust brightness, change colour, or trigger a preset scene.
• BILRESA remote control with scroll wheel – Lets you adjust smart products with a simple turn. Use it to switch lights on or off, dim, change colour, or control a group or preset scene.
• BILRESA Remote Control Kits (2x) – Kits of three colourful versions of the remote controls, in green, red and beige. One kit with three scroll wheels, and the other is with remote control with dual buttons.
• GRILLPLATS smart plug – This smart plug lets you control ordinary lamps or smaller appliances remotely — turning them into smart products. It also tracks energy use and can be paired with a remote or motion sensor.
