We drove 90 minutes to IKEA to see if their new smart home tech is actually worth buying.
IKEA has been quietly expanding their smart home lineup with affordable lights, buttons, sensors, and Matter-compatible devices — but are these new, affordable smart home products actually any good?
In this video, we: • Visit IKEA to see what smart home products they currently offer in store • Compare pricing and features • Bring several devices home and set them up • Test real-world performance • Share my honest thoughts after using them
Is IKEA’s smart home ecosystem a great beginner-friendly option… or just cheap tech that looks good on the shelf?
Let me know in the comments — would you build a smart home with IKEA devices?
