While Singapore (and much of the internet) was busy obsessing over IKEA’s DJUNGELSKOG orangutan, the viral surrogate “Ora-Mama” for Punch the macaque, IKEA Singapore has quietly begun rolling out the first batch of IKEA Matter smart home devices.
Back in November 2025, the Swedish flatpack giant announced the launch of 21 new smart home products focusing on lighting, sensors, and control, transitioning its entire smart home lineup to the Matter standard. This marks a major pivot in IKEA’s strategy, moving away from the Zigbee protocol towards an open standard that lets devices from different brands work together without proprietary bridges.
One of Matter’s standout features is Multi-Admin, which enables Matter devices to connect with multiple smart home ecosystems, including Apple Home, Google Home, and Amazon Alexa. Simultaneously.
IKEA Matter devices available in Singapore
IKEA Singapore currently offers three Matter-compatible devices: a temperature and humidity sensor, an air quality monitor, and a dual-button remote.
TIMMERFLOTTE Temperature and Humidity Sensor
A battery-powered sensor that monitors indoor temperature and humidity in real-time. Tap the front display to cycle between the two readings. Works as a standalone device without a smart system, or pairs with the IKEA Home smart system or any Matter-certified ecosystem via Thread. Runs on two AAA batteries. Priced at $12.90 SGD.
ALPSTUGA Air Quality Sensor
A sensor that tracks four indoor air quality indicators: carbon dioxide (CO₂), fine particles (PM2.5), temperature, and humidity. All readings are displayed on a built-in screen alongside a clock. A warning LED lights up when CO₂ or PM2.5 levels exceed recommended thresholds. As a mains-powered device, it also functions as a Thread router, helping to extend the range of a Thread mesh network. Works as a standalone monitor or pairs with the IKEA Home smart system and any Matter-certified ecosystem. Priced at $39.90 SGD.
BILRESA Remote Control with Dual Button
A simple way to control smart products from afar. Use it to switch lights on or off, adjust brightness, change colour, or trigger a preset scene. Each button supports single, double, and long-press. Can be paired with the IKEA Home smart system, any Matter-certified ecosystem via Thread, or directly with an IKEA smart product without a hub. Runs on two AAA batteries. Priced at $8.90 SGD.
Product Availability
If you’re planning to pick up these new devices for yourself, do note that not all branches may have them in stock at the same time. When I visited IKEA Jurong in mid-March, they only had the BILRESA remote in stock, while the Tampines and Alexandra branches already had the TIMMERFLOTTE, ALPSTUGA, and BILRESA. The products are not yet available on IKEA Singapore’s website, but expect them to be updated soon.
Update: As of April 2026, the new Matter-compatible products are now available on IKEA Singapore’s online store. Check availability here.
Given that this is the first batch of the new smart home products, IKEA Singapore is expected to release more Matter devices in the coming weeks. I’ll be keeping an eye out for new products and will update this post as they arrive.
What about your existing IKEA Zigbee devices?
For those with existing IKEA Zigbee (non-Matter) smart home devices, you might be wondering if those products are now obsolete. Fortunately, they aren’t. Your devices will still work with the IKEA DIRIGERA hub, and now that it has been updated as a Matter Bridge, your existing Zigbee devices can be connected to other Matter-compatible ecosystems, including Apple Home, Google Home, and Amazon Alexa.
With the arrival of these new Matter over Thread devices, smart home enthusiasts in Singapore can look forward to building a truly open smart home, one where devices from different brands work together seamlessly, at prices that won’t break the bank.
