Ikea smart blinds compatible with homekit

IKEA's homekit-compatible smart blinds were originally planned to be launched in April, but they were postponed due to firmware problems. Now, IKEA says on its website that it will start selling blinds in August.

As one user saw on Reddit, IKEA Sweden website said that KADRILJ and FYRTUR smart blinds will be launched in August. The company further explained that the initial delay was because it found an opportunity to increase the function of shutters:

Thank you for your interest in our smart blinds KADRILJ and FYRTUR. According to our forecast, these blinds were originally planned to be sold in February, but now they will be sold in August.

At IKEA, we always want to provide our customers with the best products. The reason for the delay is that we found an opportunity to add functions, so we want to update the product software before introducing blinds in the store.

Considering that this information only appears on the website of IKEA in Sweden at present, the launch in the United States and other countries may take place at different times. For example, a user on Reddit said that the company told them that smart blinds would not be launched in the United States until June 65438+10.

Many HomeKit users expect IKEA blinds. It is said that the starting price of this shutter is slightly higher than $65,438+000, which is much cheaper than other smart shutters on the market. Facts have proved that IKEA is a popular choice for cheap and friendly smart home accessories, and the HomeKit blinds to be launched later this year will be very interesting.
