Ikea’s smart home hub Dirigera is reportedly getting support for the Matter smart home standard in beta. Matter is an open-sourced IP-based connectivity software layer for smart home devices that enables connected devices to communicate locally in a home without a cloud connection.
Although the news of Matter’s integration was announced at
the time of Dirigera’s launch, its rollout got delayed. Matter is now available
for the Dirigera hub via the Ikea Home Smart app, which also already supports
Apple HomeKit, Amazon Alexa, and Google Home.
During Matter’s beta testing for Dirigera, Ikea plans to collect feedback from the beta users so it can further improve the overall experience before launching Matter to all customers on Dirigera.
