Ikea has registered a new smart home device, the Timmerflotte, with the FCC. This temperature and humidity sensor is notable for being the company's first product to support the Thread protocol. Unlike previous Ikea devices that relied on Zigbee or Wi-Fi, the Timmerflotte operates solely on Thread, suggesting a strategic shift. Although Ikea's Dirigera hub currently lacks Thread capabilities and cannot control Matter devices directly, the move to integrate Thread functionality could enhance its role in the smart home ecosystem, making it a standalone hub for smart devices.
Ikea's Timmerflotte temperature and humidity sensor is its first Thread device registered with the FCC, indicating a potential shift in its smart home strategy.
The Timmerflotte operates solely on the Thread protocol, unlike other Ikea devices which use Zigbee or Wi-Fi, signaling a new direction for Ikea's connectivity.
Ikea's Dirigera hub lacks Thread support and cannot control Matter products, but upcoming features may enable it to serve as a Matter controller.
The introduction of the Timmerflotte might signal that Ikea is finally ready to implement Thread functionality, enhancing its smart home offerings.
