Ikea begins beta-testing Matter on its Dirigera hub

Ikea’s Dirigera smart home hub gets support for Matter... in beta.

The beta focuses just on lighting products initially, which I assume means lightbulbs, motion sensors, remotes, and possibly smart plugs, but Ikea has not confirmed the exact devices. Granath says the company plans to work through a testing phase and gather feedback from beta users to “help improve the overall experience when the update is expanded to include all customers and more products in the future.” These include lighting, plugs and switches, thermostats, locks, security and environment sensors, refrigerators, dishwashers, smoke alarms, air quality monitors, and more.
