The launch marks a significant step in making smart home technology easier to use, more affordable, and better adapted to real-life needs in the home. With this launch, IKEA is rebuilding its smart home system and product range from the ground up. The new launch reflects years of development and testing in real homes, and a growing understanding of how people want smart products to work in their daily life. The launch includes both new products and updates to existing categories – now built to work with Matter. This means IKEA smart products can connect with a wider range of devices and platforms, making it easier for customers to build a smart home across different brands. \"Until now, smart home technology hasn't been easy enough to use for most people — or affordable enough for many to consider. This launch brings us closer to helping everyone feel ready and confident to get started,\" says David Granath, Range Manager at IKEA of Sweden. The updated range focuses on three key segments*, that provide the building blocks of a smart home that's flexible, intuitive, and easy to expand over time. Lighting – The new smart bulb range from IKEA. Comes in a variety of shapes, sizes, lumen levels and styles, including colour and white spectrum options, and dimmable features. Sensors – motion, air quality, humidity and water leakage sensors designed to support wellbeing and prevent damage. Control – Remotes that make it easy to control devices from a distance, and a smart plug that can turn any product into a smart product.", "attrs": null, "subkind": "paragraph", "toolName": null, "toolSlug": null, "confidence": null, "componentId": "7fe58c3c-a59f-4eba-b5f7-16da74d1dd1f", "frameworkName": null, "frameworkSlug": null }, { "bbox": { "h": 0.115, "w": 0.96, "x": 0.02, "y": 0.165 }, "kind": "paragraph", "text": "It appears that a major risk identified by a former Snap employee related to Matter technology adoption is starting to materialize.
