Ikea doubles down on smart homes

Swedish furniture maker Ikea is doubling down on its smart home strategy with updated lighting products, a revamped app, and new motion sensors coming soon to a U.S. store near you. Apple’s home automation enthusiast site HomeKit Hero has found a lot of new Tradfri products in Ikea’s shop—from smart LED bulbs to light panels. Tradfri is Ikea’s line of smart home accessories, which started in 2017 with a bunch of Wi-Fi LED bulbs that are compatible with Apple’s HomeKit, Amazon Alexa, and Google Home.
