IKEA's new smart home products work with SmartThings via Matter

Samsung announced at the ongoing Consumer Electronics Show (CES) that there are over 430 million SmartThings users globally. That makes it one of the most popular smart home platforms in the world. Since it integrates the Matter standard, IKEA's newly announced smart home devices work readily with SmartThings.

IKEA announced 21 new Matter-over-Thread-equipped smart home products at CES 2026. They include bulbs, plugs, remote controls, sensors, and switches. All of them are very sensibly priced, making it easier for anyone with a recent Samsung TV, soundbar, or Family Hub Refrigerator to expand their smart home.

Once you set them up using the SmartThings app, you can even create Routines to work with other Samsung or Matter-compatible smart home devices and products. For example, you can set the lights to dim and curtains to close when you turn on your Samsung TV. When you leave home, IKEA sensors can initiate the Samsung Jet Bot Steam Ultra to clean your home.

Remote controls

BILRESA (Dual button): It can be used to switch lights on or off, adjust the brightness, change its color, or trigger a scene.

BILRESA (Scroll wheel): Lets you adjust devices with simple turn, such as increasing or decreasing a dimmable lights brightness or increasing or decreasing a fan's speed.
