IKEA’s smart home system now supports scenes

IKEA fills an important gap in its smart home system. The edge reports that IKEA is adding scene support to Home Smart via a firmware update (1.12.31) for its Tradfri gateways, making it easier to control multiple devices at once without having to rely on platforms. forms of other businesses. You can quickly dim the brightness and silence your Symfonisk speakers when you get ready for bed, for example.

The upgrade also takes advantage of IKEA’s long-standing shortcut buttons, which are now due “soon” for less than $ 10 each. As you would expect, this saves you having to reach for your phone or bark for a command – you can press a button to open your Fyrtur shades in the morning.
