On Thursday, Ikea announced its new smart home range, launching with 21 products. The brand hopes to make smart home technology feel both affordable and approachable.
The launch introduces new products alongside updates to existing ones. The most notable change, however, is that Ikea has gone all-in on Matter, replacing its former Zigbee products.
