BeforeIKEA recently upgraded their smart home app, I was oblivious to the amount of smart home products IKEA manufactured. It’s therefore been an exciting few months discovering its range covered everything from air purifiers to motion sensors - I know, I couldn’t believe it either! Check out the the3 IKEA smart home products I bought recentlyif you’re suspicious…
One thing that IKEA does really well is smart lighting. Although, apart from smart bulbs (some of which feature in ourbest smart bulbguide) and a few excitingspeakers that are also table lamps, it hasn’t covered too much. You’ve also probably heard of the brand’s infamousVATTENSTEN LED strip lights, but they’re not smart lights and can only be controlled via a button. That’s why this latest piece of news is so exciting…

The ORMANÄS is predicted to be controlled via many different methods, including the IKEA Home app,AppleHomeKit,GoogleHome andAmazon Alexa. Like IKEA’s other LED strips, users will also be able to cut it to their desired length. It’s apparently going to be dimmable, but the LEDs can’t be programmed individually, meaning the light strip will only be able to show one colour at a time.
Either way, the price point of this LED light strip will certainly be its selling point. Other smart lighting brands are priced a lot higher than this, with thePhilips Huelight strips starting from £130. If you’re interested, we actually compared thePhilips Hue products with the less expensive WiZ productsnot too long ago.
We’ll be keeping a firm eye on when the IKEA ORMANÄS light strip will be released in other countries, and will update this page as soon as it is.
