IKEA launches smart home products compatible with Alexa, Google, Apple Home

IKEA expands its connected home lineup with 21 new Matter-compatible smart products, including bulbs, sensors, remotes, and plugs

IKEA has unveiled a new lineup of 21 Matter-compatible smart home products, marking a major overhaul of its connected home ecosystem. The refreshed range covers lighting, sensors, remotes, and smart plugs, all designed to work seamlessly across brands using the Matter smart home standard. With this, IKEA aims to make connected living simpler and more accessible, while ensuring compatibility with platforms like Google Home, Apple Home, and Amazon Alexa.

 

Notably, the company has not specifically announced availability or pricing details for the products. Hence, pricing and availability for India might vary and can possibly be announced later.

What does Matter-Compatible mean

Matter is a universal smart home connectivity standard developed by the contribution of major tech companies, including Google, Apple, Amazon, and Samsung. Its goal is to make smart home devices from different brands work together reliably and securely, without users having to stick to one ecosystem.

 

 

In practical terms, this means an IKEA smart bulb or motion sensor can connect and be controlled through various platforms, regardless of manufacturer. Users only need a Matter-certified hub — such as IKEA’s DIRIGERA hub — to manage all compatible devices from a single interface. The hub also acts as a bridge for older IKEA smart products, ensuring backward compatibility.
