Ikea Launches Affordable Smart Home Sensors Priced Below $10

Affordable Smart Home Sensors Unveiled by Ikea, Priced Below $10

IKEA has announced a new lineup of smart home sensors, including Parasoll, Vallhorn, and Badring, set for global release starting in January 2024. According to a press release by The Verge, these sensors are expected to launch in the United States in January 2026 as part of their broad rollout of over 20 new Matter-compatible smart home devices.

The water leakage sensor, Badring, is priced at €9.99 according to Ikea, and Parasoll, a door and window sensor, is also priced at €9.99 each in Europe. While exact U.S. prices for these new sensors have not been explicitly detailed, IKEA has positioned their smart home products to be affordable, with their Dirigera smart home hub priced at about $109 in the U.S. Given this pricing strategy, the new sensors are expected to retail in the U.S. for lower price points typical for smart sensors.

Parasoll detects open or closed actions and can be paired with an Ikea light bulb without requiring a separate smart hub. Vallhorn works like a typical motion sensor and is designed to detect movement indoors or outdoors, offering wider coverage compared to Ikea's existing motion sensor, Trådfri.

Badring features a built-in siren that goes up to 60 dBA when sensing a depth of at least 1 meter. However, no information was provided about the specific actions that Vallhorn triggers when it detects movement or what actions Badring triggers when it detects a leak.

Ikea states that Badring will be available starting in April 2024. No specific U.S. pricing for Badring has been provided yet.

In summary:

| Product | Expected U.S. Release Date | Price (U.S.) | |------------------|----------------------------|----------------------| | Parasoll Sensor | January 2026 | Not officially stated (IKEA affordable range implied) | | Vallhorn Sensor | January 2026 | Not officially stated (IKEA affordable range implied) | | Badring Sensor | January 2026 | Not officially stated (IKEA affordable range implied) |

All will support Matter compatibility, enabling seamless integration across ecosystems like Apple Home, Google, and Amazon Alexa. As we approach the launch date, we can expect more details about the pricing and specific features of these affordable smart home sensors from IKEA.
