Catching Up with the Times

IKEA’s big push toward the smart home has been a long time coming. They’ve already experimented with technology-based solutions, and they’re aiming to make it a part of their brand identity in the coming months. According to the press release:

“Since the beginning in 2012, IKEA Home smart has set out to enrich all aspects of IKEA by incorporating digital elements and technologies into products and solutions. Launches within the product areas of wireless charging, smart lighting and just recently smart sound at home together with SONOS are all examples of the success to do so. Besides that IKEA has also created an own eco system (sic) and app for smart lighting first introduced as TRÅDFRI, and in June changed name (sic) to IKEA Home smart app.”

In other words, they’re now getting on board with what manufacturers like Control4 and Sonos have been doing for years. With unparalleled levels of integration, you can control a wide array of popular devices with the touch of a button thanks to Control4’s comprehensive smart home platform. And you don’t have to wait for the furniture company to catch up to the times to do it.
