IKEA Timmerflotte sensor and DIRIGERA Matter update — overview
IKEA has expanded its smart‑home lineup with a new temperature & humidity sensor called Timmerflotte and a major update to its DIRIGERA smart home hub. The DIRIGERA update turns the hub into a full Matter controller and Thread Border Router, allowing users to add and manage third‑party Matter/Thread devices directly in the IKEA Home Smart app.
Key points
- Timmerflotte: New temperature & humidity sensor from IKEA; supports Matter-over-Thread (expected launch in 2025; no exact date announced).
- DIRIGERA update: Firmware update adds Matter controller capabilities and Thread Border Router functionality so DIRIGERA can integrate third‑party Matter devices via Matter QR codes.
- Compatibility: IKEA is moving toward Matter for wide interoperability; DIRIGERA’s update reduces the need for separate bridges for many devices.
- Availability: IKEA plans 20+ Matter-compatible devices through 2025–2026. Timmerflotte not currently listed on Amazon.
