A new smart home device from IKEA, called the Liljebagge, has recently been introduced. This smart radiator thermostat allows users to manage the temperature in individual rooms, improve comfort, and potentially save energy by adjusting the heat remotely or automatically. The device is currently available on IKEA's website in Sweden but is not yet listed on international sites like those in the United States or the United Kingdom. IKEA has not yet confirmed whether the Liljebagge will be available in these markets, and the company has been asked for more information about its global rollout.
The Liljebagge is designed to work with most water-based radiators, making it compatible with a wide range of heating systems. Users can control the thermostat using the IKEA Home app on their smartphones or directly through the device's built-in display. The display automatically turns off when not in use, and the temperature can be adjusted in 0.5-degree Celsius increments using simple plus and minus buttons on the device itself.
One of the key features of the Liljebagge is its support for the Matter and Thread smart home standards. These protocols allow the device to integrate with a variety of smart home ecosystems, offering greater flexibility and compatibility with other smart devices. However, to use the Liljebagge on a Matter network, it requires a Thread border router and the IKEA Dirigera hub, which acts as a central controller for other IKEA smart products.
Priced at €15 (approximately $17.40 / £12.90 / AU$24.30), the Liljebagge is an affordable option for those looking to upgrade their home heating system with smart technology. It runs on two AA batteries, which IKEA estimates will last up to 18 months. As the product is still in the early stages of international availability, potential buyers in other regions may need to wait for further updates from IKEA.
