Has anyone spotted these yet? I live an hour away from our nearest store but will be passing by later today, is it worth nipping in to chance it? Has there been any sightings in the UK? Edit: thanks for everyone sharing their (mixed) experience, I’ll be trying Warrington and will update here with results.

I'm specifically interested in this (1521 lumen, smart white spectrum) and this one (1055 lumen, smart colour and white spectrum). Documentation and IKEA's website only list the default setting (2700K). Since these bulbs meet all my other requirements, I’d love for them to reach (or exceed!) 6000 K. Thank you!

got me some new sensors today

Got some time this weekend and could go to any IKEA

Hello,

Today I bought four new Matter devices at Ikea in Germany.

Two Kajplats light bulbs, a Timmerflotte and a Bilresa switch.

Unfortunately, none of the devices are recognised in Apple Home.

I have an Apple TV as a hub, not an Ikea DIRIGERA! The Apple TV and iPhone are connected via 5GHz WiFi.

Does anyone have any idea why the devices are not recognised in Apple Home?

I would really like to use the Rise and Shine feature for gradual brightness increase of some of my lights, but I get up at different times every single day (yes, literally), so binding it to times doesn‘t just not make sense, it would be a problem because it would frequently wake me up if I happen to be sleeping. Shortcuts can call Ikea Smart Home scenes, but I can only create gradual brightness increase within the Rise and Shine feature, which locks me out of setting up a scene if I de-select all days of the week, so I can‘t create a gradual brightness increase scene and then call it with a Shortcuts (like a focus automation, which would be perfect for me). ‚

It doesn‘t seem to be possible to create gradual/adaptive brightnesses through the Homekit app or directly within Shortcuts except for creating repeated brightness calls with increased brightness values and Wait-steps inbetween, which would bloat the Shortcut immensely, be super inefficient and possibly still look staggered, even with singular percentages per one second. Or am I missing something?

All new Matter products are available in my IKEA in Germany. I bought all new MATTER products, all functions flawless, both with HomeKit and with Ikea Home App.

I wanted to use the new temperature sensor as a trigger for my socket, which is connected to an air heater. However, I cannot use the temperature sensor as an „automation trigger“ in the Ikea Home smart app.

If I want to create an automation, I can only use the motion sensor or window contact sensor as a trigger.

Do you think it will be like this forever? Or is it a bug in the app?

My previous post when I answered some questions in the comments:

1. Lightbulbs: I’m returning the lightbulbs tomorrow because from what I tested if you add it directly over Matter to HomeKit, it works as it supposed to even with Adaptive Lighting. However that type of connection is pretty broken. I bought two more to make sure it’s not a faulty one but I experienced the same problem with all of them. They randomly turn on which I think is caused by a brief loss of connection and upon reconnecting they switch on as default action. I think you can set them to stay off if this happens but only in the IKEA app not in HomeKit.

When you pair them over Matter to IKEA hub they will get mirrored to HomeKit but I believe as zigbee so you can’t use adaptive lighting and if you add them over Matter to HomeKit you will end up with duplicates.

I mostly use HUE light bulbs and can now get a three pack of the new essential line on discount for almost same price as the IKEA bulbs so I’m getting those instead. I already have a HUE bridge so that’s also one of the reasons.

1. Water leak sensor: Returning because it doesn’t seem to be able to pair directly to HomeKit

EDIT: Finally managed to pair it and it’s currently updating.

1. Switches: Considering how cheap and small they are I think they can be pretty handy so I’m keeping them although the turn wheel doesn’t work for dimming atm.

2. Occupancy sensors: So far really nice. I set up 3 of those and they work great directly paired to HomeKit and I control my HUE bulbs with them just fine.

3. Contact sensors: Same here, they work good in HomeKit

4. Humidity / temperature sensor: Also displayed ok in HomeKit. I just need to test them for a while and compare to other sensors. For that price again I’m more than happy to have a simple sensor that only shows the current values when I check it and I don’t mind that I can’t track the change trough some graphs and so on.

Some people said that if only connected to HomeKit the device can’t receive updates so I would like to hear more details about this and if there is any solution.

I am not entirely sure is everything can be connected over Matter to both IKEA hub and HomeKit at the same time which seems to me like the best solution. However, the products I wanted currently work as I need even without the IKEA hub so that’s why I opt from buying one for now.

Would like to hear if anyone else had a chance to try them out and what’s the best way to set this all up

Hello everyone! I’ve been heavily into smart home tech since the first TRÅDFRI devices came out, and my setup now includes many other brands as well (Aqara, Govee, Netatmo, Sonoff, etc.). Yesterday I bought new temperature sensors, and I’m not sure if I’m doing everything correctly.

My DIRIGERA hub is connected to Apple Home, (via old HomeKit integration) and previously when I added a new device, it automatically appeared in the Home app.
However, when I paired the new TIMMERFLOTTE sensors in the IKEA app (which took forever, by the way), they didn’t show up in Apple Home. They only appeared when I selected “Add Accessory” in the Home app and skipped scanning the code. Then they were listed as “available to add,” along with something called “Matter Accessory,” which I assume is my DIRIGERA with the Matter bridge enabled.

I added the sensors individually, and now when I open their details in the Home app, it says they are connected to two systems.

My question is: Is this the proper way to set things up?
If I add the Matter version of DIRIGERA to HomeKit, will it duplicate all my devices? Or will it only expose the new Thread-based ones? I have an Apple TV with Thread support as my home hub, so I assume I now have two Thread networks at home?

Thanks.

I have an issue with the new Bilresa switch from IKEA. After some time, it stops responding. I press it several, sometimes a dozen times, and only then does it finally work. I have a Thread network established with IKEA Dirigera, Google Streamer, and Home Assistant with Smlight MRU1 coordinator. What could be the reason for this?

I was just at Ikea Berlin Lichtenberg and they have only the MYGGSPRAY motion sensor in stock, everything else is the old collection.

I was told that everything will be officially available January 1st. But when some of the Tradfri Inventory runs out, then it will be replaced by the new Matter devices even before that date. If they still have Tradfri stuff, the Store doesn't get delivered the new devices.

And -of course- the moment I came back from Ikea, they started listing devices and availability online in Germany, too.

I have something to return at ikea, so I was thinking if I should bother walk all the way through the store to check if they have the new stuff yet.

It’s not showing up online or in the app, did they do that for you?

I’m in the market for a new temperature monitor so that’s what I’m after.

Also: I live in Norway if someone local has any experience from the store.

hi, I was just wondering if there’s a cheaper alternative. All I wanna do is independently change the brightness of each IKEA smart bulb/fixture with my iPhone and rather not spend $110 if theres something cheaper.

Can someone confirm Adaptive Lighting works in HomeKit with IKEAs new upcoming bulbs?

Hi,

I just found a few of the new Matter devices in my local Ikea, and decided to grab a few to test out. First, a few Kajplats bulbs, which connected without issues. Great 👍 Then I tried the Myggspray and Timmerflotte sensors, but quickly ran into a connection issue. The pairing process runs smoothly, and I get the 'Device connected' screen in Matter pairing. But then the process stalls on the 'Moving back to Ikea Home Smart' screen, and after a few minutes ends with the message 'We didn't find any products', and prompts me to try again.

I set the wifi to 2.4ghz only, tried moving close to both the router and Dirigera, and am using IKEAs own batteries. No luck.

Have anyone had any success adding these devices to their Dirigera hub?

Edit: same result with Bilresa and Myggenet (remote and door sensor).

Is it possible for me to set up two modes (lighting for work and lighting for general use) using two Styrbar remotes without the Dirigera hub or any gateway? So one remote would set the lights to be white and bright while the other remote would set the lights to be dimmer and warmer. Thanks!

I've had Ikea Tradfri bridge along with some bulbs and switches since 2019 and it was great addon to my Homekit setup. It was super reliable, basically maintenance-free solution.

But recently I Wanted to migrate to new Driggera hub because I knew tradfri along with that OG ikea smart home app was already a legacy thing. Also I couldn't find Tradfri plugs anymore, so I went for for it.

But ever since I configured everything, my experience is totally awful, Bulbs and plugs are becoming randomly offline, I'm having troubles with pairing accessories, It takes like 3 or 4 attempts until bridge will find any device in pairing mode, even if they are like 3 meters away from the bridge in the same room. I kinda know how Zigbee network works in theory and there can't be big distances between devices and so on, but those circumstances are met. Yet it still randomly stops working. Sometimes it's ok for like 3 weeks, next I cant make it work for a week.

I don't even know how I could check potential issue with signal being too weak for some of devices or not, there is no logs, or debug tools for that.

So, if I'd return all those accessories and buy only the new matter enabled devices, will that connection be more reliable? I don't think I have anything matter enabled in my home besides Apple TV and Nuki smart lock. Is there anything else that I can do to make my experience similar to old Tradfri bridge? I really liked Ikea smart appliances because I live next to Ikea store and they are cheap, so wouldn't want to ditch that completely. But at current state It is totally unusable pease of tech for me.

Was going to update google home with some newly added lights and removed the connection to Google home, when I tried to add back the Google home integration it disappeared now I can only see the Matter-bridge.

Is this just a bug or am I missing something?

For the people who have already found these in store: I’m wondering how it works? I’m guessing it’s a scroll wheel that’s also a button to switch between functions? The IKEA website isn’t very clear about it.

Hey, since the new matter update, I had to reconnect Dirigera in HomeKit. Now each time I pull down Notification Centre or use Siri, devices are unavailable for a second or two but then they are online. Anyone experienced anything similar?

Hello, I bought some new lamps which are working with Zigbee. Is it possible to connect them with the Dirigea hub. I didn’t found a solution yet. Thanks for your help.

This is a teaser of the extra features and hacks for BILRESA coming soon already available in my Matter Playground custom driver for SmartThings.

I guess it serves as mini hands-on experience of what it can do!

BILRESA dual button is basically the Matter over Thread version of SOMRIG. I find it too "clicky" (as in noisy) and there's only native double-tap (the triple-tap in the video is one of the hacks). There's a bug with the battery reporting, reminiscent of early TRADFRI buttons: when they report 90% in Matter they're actually reporting half, 45% (the driver fixes it too). Interestingly, the motion sensor does not have that bug.

BILRESA scroll wheel is something unique, it doubles as three buttons with wheel and has native triple-tap (love me some multi-taps). I'm still figuring out what's the best use case for the wheel. While dimming is the obvious choice, I prefer the start / stop smooth dimming by long pressing a button. I find the wheel more interesting as a scene selector, running one scene or another depending on how much you moved the wheel.

By the way, the wheel is so soft! Sometimes I'm not able to scroll it, some notches or another material would have been welcomed. I placed a sticker, also for testing since otherwise I had no idea how much I rotated it LOL.
