Ikea’s affordable smart home is also Matter compatible
Although I’ve read opposing reviews on Ikea’s smart home gadgets throughout the years—I have a few in my gadget lab that I’ve yet to try—it makes sense that a major global furniture retailer would keep trying its hand at the connected abode.
Last week, the company clarified that it was invested in the Matter protocol. It was also a sponsor at the event in Amsterdam. “We have learnt how people use their smart homes and what works and doesn’t,” the company wrote in a press release. Maybe it’s time to give Ikea’s smart home another try in the lab!
