Ikea’s Matter-Compatible Smart Devices Launch in the US

Ikea has officially brought its Matter-compatible smart home devices to the US, a few weeks ahead of the previously expected January 2026 launch. While European stores have already received the new products, American customers can now find a selection of sensors and remotes on Ikea’s website and in some physical stores. The rollout is a significant step for Ikea as it continues expanding its smart home ecosystem.

Smart Sensors Now Available for Your Home

Four of the five smart sensors introduced in November are now ready for integration in the US. These include motion, water, door/window, and air quality sensors that can connect seamlessly with your existing smart home setup. Ikea’s sensors aim to simplify home automation, letting users trigger lights, receive alerts, and monitor environmental conditions effortlessly. However, the new Kajplats smart bulb collection, designed to streamline lighting control, has not yet launched stateside.

Official US Pricing Revealed

For the first time, Ikea has shared the US pricing for its new Matter devices. The Myggspray wireless motion sensor, suitable for indoor and outdoor use, is priced at $9.99, while the Klippbok water sensor, which alerts homeowners to leaks, also costs $9.99. The Myggbett door/window sensor is slightly cheaper at $7.99, and Ikea’s Alpstuga air quality sensor, capable of measuring CO2 and PM2.5 particles, is $29.99. These affordable prices make it easier for users to start building a smart home ecosystem without breaking the bank.

Bilresa Remote Hits Online Shelves

Ikea’s colorful three-pack of the Bilresa two-button remote is listed online for $19.99. While currently marked as “Sold Out” online, it’s a sign that Ikea is gradually expanding its smart control options for US customers. The remote allows users to control multiple smart devices with a single press, simplifying everyday automation tasks.

Integration With Matter and Thread

All of these devices leverage Matter and Thread protocols, ensuring smooth compatibility with other smart home brands. Matter’s growing support among tech giants makes Ikea’s offerings an accessible entry point for anyone looking to expand or upgrade their smart home setup. Consumers can now combine Ikea sensors with products from companies like Google, Apple, and Amazon for a unified smart home experience.

What This Means for Smart Home Enthusiasts

For US smart home enthusiasts, this early launch means more options and better pricing than many expected. With sensors priced under $30 and easy integration via Matter, Ikea is positioning itself as a go-to option for affordable, reliable smart home technology. The delayed lighting products may be a downside, but the current selection offers substantial functionality for new and existing smart home users alike.

When to Expect the Full Range

Ikea plans to continue rolling out its full smart home lineup in the US, including the Kajplats smart bulbs and additional smart accessories. Customers should watch for updates on Ikea’s website or in stores to complete their Matter-compatible smart home ecosystems. The incremental rollout allows Ikea to manage supply while gradually building customer interest and adoption.

With its early US launch, Ikea demonstrates a growing commitment to accessible smart home solutions. Affordable sensors, robust Matter integration, and thoughtful product design make it an attractive option for those looking to modernize their homes. As more products become available, Ikea is likely to become a stronger contender in the competitive smart home market.
