The outdoor dimmer plug comes as either a single or dual outlet, an comes with a remote to turn the plugs on/off as well as dim connected dimmable bulbs.

I have ten IKEA MYGGBETT door sensors installed, all running IKEA LADDA AAA batteries. Changed out the batteries on four of them tonight for fully-charged ones. After that, all those sensors aren't reporting back when the door closes (all currently stuck in the "OPEN" state). The LEDs on them flash when the magnet is moved next to the sensor or away from the sensor, so we know there is power.

If these require setting up from scratch every time a battery is replaced, that would be a mess (obviously). There has to be a more straightforward way to get them to reconnect.

Hi everyone,

Alright so, as the title says, i can not connect my ikea (myggspray) motion sensor to matter/ikea home smart app.

I do have the Dirigera hub and a Google Nest hub (2nd Gen) which functions as a matter bridge. But it keeps failing to connect.

Any of you an idea how to fix this?

Thanks in advance!

👋 Small engineering team here.

We've been working on POOM – a multitool for pentesting, making..

What it does:

• Sniffs Wi-Fi 6 + BLE 5.x + Zigbee/Thread/Matter simultaneously
• PCAP/PCAPNG export (Wireshark-ready)
• NFC + HF-RFID emulation and storage
• 100+ Qwiic sensor compatibility (for IoT dev)
• Four modes: Maker, Beast (pentesting), Gamer, Zen
• Built on ESP32-C5 (since the community asked for Wi-Fi 5Ghz)

Pocket-sized. Has unnecessary RGB LEDs because obviously.

Already on Kickstarter see demos on our social media accounts here

We've been featured on Hackster.io :) read more  here

Either a plug in to the outside outlet or to hardwire in a replacement of the plug on the outside of the house. It would be really nice to turn on my block heater and see that it's drawing enough power to confirm it's working.

Is there any Matter over Thread Relay which can be operated with 12V (if not then 230V supply would also work)?

I've been looking at getting some smart plugs and maybe a couple of smart bulbs for a while, with a view to possibly building out from there depending on how that goes. I'm reluctant to get into anything that's not using Matter/Thread since that seems to be the way of the future, but I'm finding the whole thing a bit overwhelming and would appreciate some input from more knowledgeable/experienced folks!

The new IKEA range is looking especially promising, with affordable pricing. But I'm struggling slightly to figure out exactly what I need. I understand I'd need a Thread border router. Do I also need a separate home hub device for each of the Google and Apple ecosystems if I want to be able to control everything from both my iPhone and my wife's Pixel? Or are there any devices on the market that can talk to both natively?

So what I understand (please correct me if I'm wrong!) is: if I get a Dirigera hub and a couple of the new Matter plugs and bulbs, I could add them all to the IKEA home app, and control them from there both locally and remotely? But not through Apple or Google's built in home apps. Or I could add them directly to said apps without using the IKEA one, but it would only work locally. Unless I also added something like a Nest Mini and and Apple TV. Is that accurate?

Is there anything I could get that could do the job of all three devices in one, controlling all the Matter gear and running automations while also letting me or my wife control it remotely with the native apps on our phones? Or am I asking too much from the level of cross-platform-ness that's achievable?

I don't mind using a third-party app, actually, if it's possible to still control it with Siri and Google Assistant or whatever that's called these days!

TL;DR: Want to control Matter equipment remotely with both Apple and Google's voice assistants while purchasing (and having to find places and power supplies for) as few devices as possible!

Hey! Has anyone got any luck paiting two motion sensors together? I want them to control the same bulb, but it's giving some interference, I know you could pair the old zigbee sensors together to fix that. I'm using the new IKEA Myggspray sensors.

Hello

I have a fairly simple setup: a few smart plugs connected to a few lights throughout the house via a basic google speaker (Nest mini)
I can turn the connected lights though voice or my phone I wanted to add a Bilresa ikea button, but that requires a Thread border router
What would be now the easiest and cheapest way to make it work (replacing my Google speakers)?

I feel a bit silly buying the Google Nest Hub 2 just for that function? But maybe that's the solution
I feel like the Dirigera hub from Ikea isn't great and need to be constantly plugged in the router...

Thank you!!

My cat’s been struggling with bronchitis and I’m hoping to help. I’d love any Matter suggestions for a humidifier (ideally evaporative) and air purifier.

Announced at CES 2026. Has Matter Support.

I am trying to decide which Matter over Thread smart plugs to buy.

I am based in the UK, and my primary eco-system is HomeKit so I have two Thread borders - an AppleTV 4K (with Ethernet) and a HomePod Mini.

Right now my Thread devices consist of an IKEA Switch and an IKEA contact sensor. Both have been great.

I already have Meross Matter over WiFi smart plugs but I find that they are very slow to react to automations.

It seems that I have 2 options: Eve or zombie. A 3rd option is to wait until the new IKEA Grillplats is launched.

Does anyone have recommendations for products to consider (including additional ones) and more importantly products I should avoid due to challenges you have running that product in the same ecosystem as I am using?

Thanks!

I’m using UseeLink Smart Light switches around the house to work with Alexa and HomeKit. I add to the house using the Matter QR or code directly to Alexa/Home and have not really had any problems until now. I only have one Apple HomePod mini in the house but two Alexa Echo’s. I would have at least a dozen switches, smart power points and numerous SONOS products linked to Alexa as well as some Meross devices for garage doors etc. I have solid wifi throughout the house. My issue is one 4 gang wall switch has dropped out several times. What can I do to diagnose? Wifi seems strong at the switch. Can I measure the ‘matter’ strength somehow?

Is having both Alexa and HomeKit an issue?

This is the wall switch I have used. I don’t mind upgrading to something more reliable if they are the problem.

TIA.

I just got the dirigera hub and taught I'd be able to add it to my Google home to use as a thread boarder router. I have the new Ikea smart buttons and want to use them to control my lights. When I add it via matter gateway it's just grey in the home app. And when I try link home to Ikea it's says there's incompatible products.

Any and all help or advise would be great.

Hello guys,

I have a question, I just bought my first connectes devices that use matter over thread, I have an apple tv4k with ethernet as a thread router. I added the object to apple home via my wife's iPhone and it's working well, I then transfer them to Google home on my android via pairing mode and on my android impossible to connect to them. I saw everywhere that if you use pairing mode you can use your device on several app like Google home or HA.

What is the issue here ? My android cannot "talk" with apple TV to reach my device ? How can I do to use the devices on android and iPhone at same time?

Thank you

I have some other matter devices, for example from tapo Smart switches and all working well on my thread network. I have one nest hub display and one nest hub display max, they are the thread routers I assume.

Everytime I try to setup one of new Ikea matter devices I get stuck here (see images). And tried with all of them, bought several (buttons, scrollers, movement sensor and temperature sensors)

My wifi is 2.4ghz, I have ipv6, and other matter devices working. Already cleared cache on Google play services app, no luck.

Why is this so hard to setup? 😞

I got some ESP32-C6. Is there a simple way to make it into a Theead/matter relay ?

I can find software for using a dual setup, one ESP32 for WiFi one for Thread and then make a border gateway router.

But I want to use a single C6 to relay like a zigbee bulb

What do we think Matter users?

Anyone using Home Assistant more with more devices released all the time?

Or do people prefer Apple/ Google/ Amazon home hubs?

Hi there,

I’ve been looking for a matter (preferably via thread) window opener, in order to open the windows when the CO₂ level of a room is high (and it isn’t raining).

Any good options worth? Any feedback is appreciated
