I kind of expect the reflex "Apple centric" reporting from most tech sites, but I come here because in general, I can trust the writers here to be platform agnostic. Someone might want to mention this to the writer of this article.

IKEAs smart home products are NOT Apple Home Kit or Siri specific. They work with Alexa and Google Home. It's right on their site...

"DIRIGERA hub requires a Wi-Fi network and connects to your router with the provided cable.

To use the hub to get going with your smart home, download the IKEA Home smart app, where you'll be guided step-by-step.

You can control your smart home using one or multiple mobile and tablet devices - just download the app to each one.

If you want to use a voice assistant, you can connect to Amazon Alexa, Apple Home, or Google Home through integrations in the IKEA Home smart app.

The IKEA Home smart app is available on the App Store (iOS 15 or later) and on Google Play (Android 8 or later).

This product is part of our smart home range. Connect it, along with other smart products, to DIRIGERA hub and IKEA Home smart app for more features and functions."


As a non-Apple person, I was prepared to write this product off as incompatible with my system. Fortunately, unlike the writer, I took a few minutes to check.

A new report from SmartApfel claims that IKEA will launch new FYRTUR and KADRILJ smart blinds in 2024. The products are expected to have improved functionality, which currently includes wireless app control and Apple HomeKit compatibility. The existing models are still on sale in various countries, though listed as "last chance to buy" in some areas.
