IKEA Canada is rebuilding its smart home ecosystem with the launch of 21 new Matter compatible products focused on lighting, sensors and control. The new range is designed to work across multiple brands and platforms via the universal Matter standard, aiming to remove setup friction so more households can start and grow a smart home without locking into a single vendor or high upfront costs.
The collection expands familiar categories while upgrading them for interoperability. New smart bulbs span shapes, sizes, lumen levels and colour or white spectrum options, joined by motion, air quality, humidity and leak sensors intended to support wellbeing and prevent damage. Remotes and a new smart plug round out the control layer, giving users simple ways to manage lighting and devices from a distance or convert existing products into smart ones using the IKEA or third party ecosystems they already own.
All Matter enabled pieces connect through a smart home hub such as IKEA’s DIRIGERA, which acts as both Matter controller for multi brand setups and a bridge so existing non Matter IKEA smart products can still work with Matter based platforms. IKEA frames this launch as the first phase of a broader Home smart update, with a roadmap that will add more categories and keep the focus on products that are easier to use, easier to expand and more affordable than many legacy smart home solutions currently on the Canadian market.
