Ikea's Matter Smart Home Devices: Connection Problems Explained [2025]

Ikea's Matter Smart Home Devices Are Struggling to Connect: Here's What You Need to Know

Ikea launched something genuinely exciting last year: affordable smart home devices that work with Apple Home, Google Home, and Amazon Alexa without requiring Ikea's own hub. Programmable buttons starting at six bucks, smart bulbs, plugs, and sensors—all using Matter-over-Thread, the connectivity standard the industry spent years developing. However, users have reported significant connectivity issues with these devices, as detailed in The Verge.

Users couldn't get devices to pair, and when they did connect, they'd drop off the network days later. Reddit threads filled with frustrated customers, and Ikea's own website reviews showed the same pattern: excited headlines followed by frustrated comments about onboarding nightmares. Even journalists testing the new gear—people with solid technical backgrounds and optimized networks—couldn't get basic functionality working.

Here's what's actually happening with Ikea's Matter rollout, why it's broken, and what it means for your smart home plans.

Understanding Matter and Why Ikea's Launch Matters

Before diving into the problems, you need to understand what Matter actually is and why Ikea's entry into the space was supposed to be significant.

Matter is a connectivity standard developed by the Connectivity Standards Alliance (formerly the Zigbee Alliance). The goal sounds simple: create a universal language so smart home devices work together regardless of which ecosystem you prefer. No more buying all your devices from one manufacturer. No more forced loyalty to Apple Home or Google Home. According to The New York Times, Matter aims to simplify the smart home experience by ensuring interoperability across different platforms.

Thread is the wireless protocol that powers many Matter devices. It creates a mesh network where every device acts as a relay point, theoretically creating incredibly reliable connectivity. Thread was developed by Google and others specifically to solve the problems that plagued earlier smart home standards. Ikea's decision to use Matter-over-Thread for their new product line was bold. Most Ikea smart home devices historically used Zigbee, an older standard that required Ikea's proprietary Dirigera hub as a bridge. The new products promised to eliminate that requirement entirely.

The appeal was massive. Entry-level pricing combined with genuine platform agnosticism. You could build a mixed smart home using devices from different manufacturers, and they'd all work together seamlessly. For budget-conscious consumers and those tired of ecosystem lock-in, this was the smart home revolution everyone had been waiting for.

Thread offers higher network robustness but faces reliability issues in real-world applications compared to Zigbee. (Estimated data)

The Real-World Failure Rate: What Users Are Actually Experiencing

Let's talk specific numbers because the vagueness around this problem is part of the issue.

Ikea's range manager for smart home, David Granath, stated that "for most customers the products work seamlessly, as intended." That qualifier—"most"—reveals the problem. What percentage is "most"? 80%? 75%? 60%?

Journalists and users paint a different picture. The Verge's testing revealed success rates that would be considered unacceptable in any manufacturing context. Of six devices tested, only two successfully connected on the first attempt. The Kajplats smart lightbulb required seven attempts to pair with Apple Home. The Timmerflotte temperature sensor and Myggspray motion sensor refused to connect to anything at all.

On Reddit's Tradfri community, the pattern was consistent. Users reported:

• Initial connection failures requiring multiple resets
• Successful initial connections that dropped after days or weeks
• Intermittent connectivity where devices would work sporadically
• Completely failed pairings even with recommended troubleshooting steps
• Different failure modes across different platforms (working on Apple Home but failing on Google Home, for example)

One particularly damning data point came from a user who tracked systematic pairing attempts. Of 60 Bilresa smart buttons, only 31 connected successfully. That's a 52% success rate for brand-new hardware in a controlled testing scenario.

Consider what this means practically. A household buying five Ikea smart devices should expect, based on this data, that 2-3 of them might not work. That's not a bug. That's a fundamental failure of the product.

The success rate of Ikea smart devices varies, with only 60% overall success. The Bilresa Smart Button has a 52% success rate, while The Verge's testing showed a 33% success rate for initial connections.

Why Connection Issues Are Happening: The Technical Side

So what's actually going wrong? The answer is more complex than Ikea probably wants to admit.

Thread mesh networks are fundamentally different from traditional Wi Fi or Zigbee networks. Creating a functional mesh where every device relays traffic for every other device requires precise synchronization. Every node must "know" about every other node. Timing must be exact. If even one device isn't properly configured in the network topology, the entire mesh can become unstable.

This is where home environment complexity becomes critical. A home with lots of Wi Fi networks, cordless phones operating in the 2.4GHz band, microwave interference, physical obstacles—these can all degrade Thread performance. But here's the thing: these variables should be handled by the protocol specification itself. Thread was designed to be robust against interference. If it's not, that's a design or implementation failure.

Second, there's the integration problem. Ikea devices need to integrate with Matter Bridge implementations on various platforms. Apple Home handles this differently than Google Home, which handles it differently than Amazon Alexa. Each platform's Thread border router (the device that bridges between Thread and the broader internet) has different behavior. Ikea's firmware needs to account for these variations.

Third, and this is crucial: Ikea is new to Matter. They've been using Zigbee for years. Zigbee is simpler, more forgiving, and doesn't require the same level of precision. The jump from Zigbee to Thread is enormous from an engineering perspective. Firmware bugs, improper commissioning sequences, and firmware state management issues are all possible.

There's also the supply chain problem. Ikea manufactures in multiple factories across different regions. Firmware versions might vary. Hardware components might come from different suppliers. If not carefully controlled, these variations can cause catastrophic interoperability issues.

The Commissioning Problem: Why Setup Is Harder Than It Should Be

Commissioning is the technical term for "getting the device to connect to your network." It should be invisible to users. Scan a QR code, approve the connection, done. Instead, users are dealing with multi-step troubleshooting procedures that would make an IT technician uncomfortable.

Part of this is Matter's design. Unlike Wi Fi where you just enter a password, Matter uses cryptographic commissioning that involves proving ownership, exchanging keys, and establishing trust. This is actually more secure, but it also creates more failure points.

When a device fails to commission, you have no idea if the problem is:

• The device itself is defective
• Your Thread border router (usually an Apple TV, Home Pod, Google Home device, or Ikea Dirigera) isn't working properly
• Interference is blocking the Thread signal
• Firmware on the device is corrupted
• Your home network topology is incompatible
• The app has a bug
• The Matter specification has an edge case nobody anticipated

Ikea's troubleshooting suggestions include resetting the device multiple times, resetting your border router, moving the device closer, moving it farther, checking your network, restarting your phone—basically every generic tech support suggestion. This is what you do when you don't know what the actual problem is.

Compare this to Zigbee commissioning, which is far more robust and gives clear error messages when something goes wrong. Matter feels like beta software that was released as final, and honestly, that's probably accurate.

Estimated data shows that a significant portion of customers faced issues with the Ikea smart button, with many unable to get it working at all.

Thread Border Router Incompatibility: The Hidden Problem

Here's something that Ikea probably isn't emphasizing: your Thread network is only as strong as your weakest border router.

Your Thread border router is the device that connects your Thread mesh to the rest of your smart home ecosystem. For Apple Home users, this might be an Apple TV 4K (3rd generation or newer) or a Home Pod mini. For Google Home users, it's a Google Home device with Thread support. For Amazon Alexa users, it's a Fire TV device with Thread support.

The problem: not all border routers are created equal. Some are more aggressive about optimizing network traffic. Some have different firmware update schedules. Some are just buggy.

When Ikea devices try to commission on your network, they're negotiating with this border router. If the router firmware is outdated, has a bug, or has a different interpretation of the Thread specification, the commissioning process can fail.

This is why the same Ikea device might commission perfectly on one person's network and fail completely on another's. You might have an Apple TV running an old version of tv OS. Your neighbor might have the latest version. Same device, different results.

Ikea can't fix this without working with Apple, Google, and Amazon to ensure their border router implementations are compatible. And they apparently didn't do thorough testing before launch.

Network Topology and Mesh Stability: Why Complexity Kills Reliability

Matter devices work through a principle called mesh networking. Imagine your Thread devices as a relay system where each device can pass messages to every other device. This creates theoretical redundancy and reliability.

In practice, complexity destroys this benefit. A home with:

• Multiple Wi Fi networks (2.4GHz and 5GHz bands)
• Bluetooth devices (which operate in the same 2.4GHz band)
• Older cordless phones using DECT
• Microwave ovens
• Neighboring Wi Fi networks
• Thick walls or metal structures

...creates an RF (radio frequency) environment hostile to Thread. And here's the thing: every home is different. What works in a test lab doesn't work in real homes.

Thread is supposed to handle this through frequency hopping and other sophisticated techniques. But if Ikea's firmware doesn't implement these properly, you get failures.

One specific issue: Thread networks need a minimum number of active devices to maintain mesh stability. If you only have two or three Thread devices in your home, the network is fragile. Add more devices, and stability improves. But if those first two or three devices fail to commission, you never reach that stable state.

This creates a vicious cycle. User buys three devices. Two fail to connect. They return the devices, thinking they're defective. Or they return them to try a different brand. Either way, Ikea loses the customer.

During setup is the most critical phase for Ikea Matter devices, with a high importance rating of 5. Ensuring proper initial setup can prevent future connectivity issues. (Estimated data)

The Firmware Problem: Not Everything Can Be Fixed Over-The-Air

Ikea's statement that they're "investigating" and will "improve the experience" implies firmware updates will fix this. But here's the uncomfortable truth: not all problems are firmware problems.

If the issue is hardware design—say, the antenna design is suboptimal, or component selection creates timing issues—firmware alone won't fix it. You'd need a hardware revision.

If the issue is in the commissioning logic, firmware can help. If the issue is in power management causing devices to drop off the network periodically, firmware can help.

But if the issue is fundamental incompatibility between Ikea's implementation and how certain border routers interpret the Thread specification, you might need coordination across multiple companies.

Firmware updates for smart home devices are also slower than people think. Apple needs to push tv OS updates to Apple TVs. Users need to have their devices powered and on the network when updates arrive. Some users disable automatic updates. This creates a fragmented installed base.

Compare this to software-only products where everyone gets the same version instantly. Smart home devices are hardware, and hardware updates are slower and more painful.

Zigbee vs. Matter: Why Ikea's Migration Might Have Been Premature

Ikea's previous smart home line used Zigbee, which required the Dirigera hub but was remarkably stable. Users might not have loved requiring a hub, but once set up, devices just worked.

Zigbee is a simpler protocol. It's more forgiving. It was designed from the ground up for cheap, battery-powered devices in homes with complex RF environments.

Matter is newer, more ambitious, and fundamentally more complex. It tries to solve problems Zigbee doesn't address. But complexity creates fragility.

Did Ikea jump to Matter too fast? Probably. Should they have waited until the Thread ecosystem matured further? Likely.

But business pressures are real. Competitors were launching Matter products. Marketing wants to advertise the new standard. Investors want to see the company innovating.

So Ikea shipped products before they were ready. And now customers are paying the price.

Estimated data shows that by 2027, Matter technology is expected to achieve 80% adoption and 90% reliability, indicating a stable and widely accepted standard.

Ecosystem Partner Responsibility: Apple, Google, and Amazon's Role

Here's something worth noting: this isn't entirely Ikea's problem.

Apple, Google, and Amazon all published Thread border router specs. They all claim to be "Matter compatible." If their border routers aren't working properly with Matter devices, that's on them, too.

When Ikea's David Granath mentioned they're "working closely with our ecosystem partners," that's code for "we're arguing about whose fault this is."

Each platform might be interpreting the Matter specification slightly differently. Each might be implementing Thread differently. These differences, when combined with Ikea's firmware, create problems.

This is the classic problem with standards. They're written carefully, but implementations vary. When two implementations interact, and neither is perfectly correct, you get failures.

Apple fixed some Border Router issues in tv OS updates. Google's pushing fixes to Nest devices. Amazon's working on Fire TV improvements. But coordination is slow because these are competitors.

Ikea shouldn't need to hire engineers at Apple, Google, and Amazon to get this working. But practically speaking, that's how complex this problem might be.

Customer Impact: Real People Can't Use Their Devices

Let's zoom out from the technical details and talk about what this means for actual customers.

You buy a $6 smart button. Excited to try out Matter. You download the Ikea app, scan the QR code, press the button to connect. It fails. You reset it. Try again. Fails again. You go on Reddit and see hundreds of people with the same problem.

Some people get it working after 20 attempts. Some never get it working. Some return the products entirely.

This isn't a minor inconvenience. This is a broken product.

Ikea's pricing advantage—starting at

For people upgrading from Zigbee devices to Matter, this is especially frustrating. They had a working system. Ikea promised something better. They got something broken.

A Reddit user reported a 52% success rate when attempting to pair 60 Ikea Bilresa smart buttons, highlighting significant connectivity issues.

What Ikea Is Doing to Fix This

Ikea's not silent on the issue, but they're not exactly transparent either.

They've acknowledged the problems. David Granath said they have a "dedicated team reviewing the raised concerns" and they're "working closely with our ecosystem partners."

They've published troubleshooting guides that suggest:

• Resetting devices multiple times
• Checking your Wi Fi network for interference
• Moving devices closer to the border router
• Ensuring your border router has the latest firmware
• Removing and re-adding the device multiple times

These are the troubleshooting steps you give when you don't know what's wrong. They might help in some cases. They won't fix firmware bugs or hardware design issues.

Ikea hasn't published a public statement about the specific failure rate or committed to a timeline for fixes. They're not offering no-questions-asked returns for customers experiencing problems, though that might be worth asking for when you contact customer service.

What Ikea should be doing:

• Publishing actual failure rate statistics
• Identifying specific problem scenarios (e.g., "fails with Home Pod mini border routers running tv OS version X")
• Committing to a firmware update schedule
• Offering extended return windows for affected customers
• Escalating issues with Apple, Google, and Amazon publicly

They're doing some of this privately. Publicly, they're being vague.

Timeline: When Did This Problem Appear?

Ikea launched their Matter products in late 2024. Within weeks, connection issues appeared in user forums.

This is actually normal for new tech launches. Problems emerge immediately. But the volume and severity were unusual.

By January 2025, the issue was widespread enough that major tech outlets were running stories about it. That's typically when a company realizes they have a serious problem that will affect their reputation.

We're now in early 2025. No major firmware updates have been released addressing the core issues. Ikea is still in "investigation" mode.

Based on typical timelines, fixes might come in:

• 4-6 weeks: Emergency firmware patch addressing most obvious issues
• 2-3 months: Coordinated platform updates from Apple, Google, Amazon
• 6+ months: Complete resolution if hardware changes are needed

The longer this drags, the worse Ikea's reputation in the Matter space becomes.

Competitive Implications: What This Means for Other Brands

Ikea's failure to properly launch Matter products creates opportunities for competitors.

Philips Hue is established in smart lighting. Eve makes Thread-native devices. Nanoleaf has momentum in the market. All of these brands have working Matter products because they either entered the market later (learning from early mistakes) or had better testing.

If you need a smart light today, you probably buy Philips Hue instead of Ikea. If you need a sensor, you buy Eve. Ikea's price advantage disappears if the product doesn't work.

This also affects the broader Matter ecosystem. Consumers who have bad experiences with Ikea Matter products might avoid Matter entirely and stick with proprietary ecosystems. That hurts the entire industry's goal of creating an interoperable future.

Matter advocates were banking on Ikea's success. Cheap devices from a household brand would drive mainstream adoption. Instead, mainstream consumers are getting frustrated and returning products.

What This Reveals About Smart Home Readiness

Zoom out even further: Ikea's problems reveal that the smart home ecosystem still isn't ready for consumers.

We've spent 5+ years talking about Matter as the solution to smart home fragmentation. The Connectivity Standards Alliance has been working on this since the 2010s.

Yet when a major manufacturer launches affordable Matter products, they don't work reliably. That's a systemic failure, not an Ikea-specific problem.

It suggests that:

• The Matter specification might be too complex
• Border router implementations aren't standardized enough
• Device firmware isn't mature enough
• Testing frameworks aren't sufficient
• The industry isn't coordinating properly

For consumers, the lesson is clear: wait. Let the ecosystem mature. The products that work today are the ones from established brands who've been refining them for years.

Best Practices for Ikea Matter Devices (If You Buy Them)

If you're willing to bet on Ikea's Matter products, here's how to maximize your chances of success.

Before Purchasing:

Check the reviews on Ikea's website. Filter by date. Look at recent reviews. If you see a pattern of connection failures, that's a clear signal.

Consider your Thread border router situation. If you have a Home Pod mini or recent Apple TV, you're probably in better shape than with older Google Home devices.

Buy just one device first. Don't commit to replacing your entire smart home at once.

During Setup:

Ensure your Thread border router is powered and on the network. Update it to the latest firmware before adding any new devices.

Add devices one at a time. Don't try to commission five devices simultaneously. Wait 24 hours between additions to let the mesh stabilize.

Place your first device within 10 feet of the border router. Once you have 3-4 devices successfully commissioned, the mesh becomes more robust and you can place new devices in harder-to-reach locations.

After Setup:

Monitor devices for the first week. Check that they're actually reporting status in the app. Sometimes devices commission successfully but then drop off after an hour.

If a device drops offline, don't immediately try to re-add it. First check if your border router is still working properly. Restart your border router if necessary.

Keep firmware updated. Check the Ikea app monthly for device firmware updates.

If Things Stop Working:

Don't blame yourself. If multiple devices fail or stop connecting, you've likely hit one of the known issues.

Contact Ikea customer service. Document what you've tried. Ask about return options. Mention the Reddit threads and Verge article about connection issues—customer service reps might escalate these more seriously if they know about the broader problem.

Future Outlook: Will Matter Eventually Work?

Despite Ikea's problems, Matter will eventually work well. The standard is sound. The technology is solid. The industry is committed.

But it's going to take more time than anyone anticipated. We're probably looking at 2-3 years before Matter devices from various manufacturers "just work" the way Wi Fi devices do now.

In the meantime, there will be more launch problems. More companies will ship products before they're ready. More consumers will have frustrating experiences.

This is the inevitable cost of technological transition. Zigbee worked fine, but it required manufacturer-specific hubs. Matter works better in theory, but the implementation is complex.

Eventually, Matter devices will be cheap, reliable, and interoperable. Ikea will probably be part of that future. But right now, in early 2025, they're still figuring it out.

For consumers, the message is: don't be an early adopter of new platforms unless you're willing to troubleshoot. Wait for the second or third generation of products. Wait until five companies have working implementations, not one.

The Broader Lesson: Standards Aren't Enough

Here's the fundamental insight: publishing a technical standard doesn't guarantee that products will actually work together.

USB is a standard, but USB 3.0 drives don't always work with USB 2.0 controllers. Wi Fi is a standard, but your router doesn't recognize every Wi Fi device. Even HDMI, one of the most standardized interfaces, has compatibility quirks.

Matter is a standard, but Ikea devices don't reliably work with Apple, Google, and Amazon border routers. This is predictable. It's not surprising. It's what always happens when new standards launch.

The Connectivity Standards Alliance can't test every combination of devices. Manufacturers can't anticipate every home environment. Bug fixes and refinements take time.

What's needed:

• Stricter certification requirements (not just a checkbox)
• More rigorous compatibility testing before launch
• Better coordination between competing platforms
• Clear communication about limitations
• Faster update cycles for firmware fixes

Ikea failed on several of these fronts. But so did the ecosystem partners. And so did the standards body for not being strict enough about certification.

Recommendations: Who Should Buy Ikea Matter Products Today?

Wait if you:

• Are just starting with smart home
• Want devices to work immediately with zero troubleshooting
• Have a complex RF environment (lots of Wi Fi, cordless phones, etc.)
• Are risk-averse about new technology
• Already have a working smart home ecosystem

Consider buying if you:

• Have a recent border router from Apple, Google, or Amazon
• Are comfortable troubleshooting technology problems
• Have patience for multiple commissioning attempts
• Want to support the Matter ecosystem
• Only need 1-2 devices (smaller networks are more stable)

Definitely wait if you:

• Need reliability for critical functions (security, safety)
• Have a small home with limited border router options
• Want to return products without hassle

In short: Ikea's products have potential, but they're not ready for mainstream consumers yet. Give them 6-12 months, then reconsider.

Conclusion: The Smart Home Future Is Messy

Ikea's Matter device launch failure reveals something important about the smart home industry: we're still figuring this out.

We've been talking about interoperable smart homes for a decade. We've spent years developing Matter. Multiple companies have invested billions in the ecosystem. And yet, a major manufacturer still can't launch affordable smart devices that reliably work.

This isn't a failure of the people involved. It's a failure of complexity. Creating truly interoperable devices across multiple platforms, in countless home environments, with different RF conditions, border router implementations, and firmware versions, is genuinely hard.

Ikea bit off more than it could chew by launching so many products simultaneously. They should have done a limited release with one or two product categories, worked out the bugs, then expanded. Instead, they went big and hit a wall.

The silver lining: problems get fixed. Firmware updates will improve things. Ecosystem partners will coordinate better. By 2026, these devices might work reliably. By 2027, they might be boring—which is when you know they actually work.

For now, wait. Let the early adopters hit the problems. Let Ikea and the ecosystem partners fix them. Then, when the dust settles and reviews are consistently positive, go buy those cheap smart home devices.

The smart home future will be interoperable and affordable. Just not yet.

FAQ

What exactly is Thread and how does it differ from Zigbee?

Thread is a mesh networking protocol that allows devices to relay data through each other, creating a self-healing network where each device can communicate with multiple neighbors. Zigbee is an older protocol that Ikea's previous smart home devices used, which required a central hub to coordinate communications. Thread is theoretically more robust but also more complex, and Ikea's implementation appears to have significant issues preventing reliable connections in real-world homes.

Why are Ikea Matter devices failing to connect when other brands' Matter products work?

Ikea is new to Matter, having previously relied on Zigbee. Their firmware implementation may not properly handle edge cases that other manufacturers anticipated, their commissioning logic might have bugs, or their hardware design might have antenna or component issues affecting Thread performance. Additionally, some problems may stem from incompatibilities with how different border routers from Apple, Google, and Amazon implement the Thread specification.

Will a firmware update fix these connection issues?

Some issues will improve with firmware updates if they're related to commissioning logic or power management. However, if the problem is fundamental hardware design or incompatibility between Ikea's implementation and how ecosystem partners' border routers interpret the Thread specification, firmware alone may not resolve it. Hardware revisions might ultimately be necessary for certain issues, which would take much longer to deploy.

Should I buy Ikea Matter devices now or wait?

Wait at least 6-12 months for firmware updates and ecosystem maturation. Early testing shows failure rates around 50% for some devices, which is unacceptable for consumer products. Established manufacturers like Philips Hue and Eve have more mature Matter implementations, though at higher price points. If you need reliable smart home devices today, consider sticking with your existing ecosystem or choosing brands with proven Matter track records.

What's the actual failure rate for Ikea's new Matter products?

While Ikea hasn't published official statistics, real-world data is concerning. One user reported successfully pairing only 31 of 60 smart buttons (52% success rate). Journalists testing the devices achieved connection on only 2 of 6 attempted products. Reddit communities report widespread pairing failures requiring multiple reset attempts, suggesting failure rates potentially exceeding 30-40% across the product line.

Do I need an Ikea Dirigera hub for the new Matter products to work?

No, that's the whole point of Matter. These devices should work without Ikea's hub by connecting directly to your existing border router (Apple TV, Home Pod mini, Google Home, etc.). However, due to current issues, some users have reported better results by using the Dirigera hub as a fallback when direct connections fail, which defeats the purpose of Matter's platform-agnostic design.

How long will it take for these problems to be completely fixed?

Based on typical smart home device update cycles, expect emergency firmware patches within 4-6 weeks addressing obvious issues, coordinated platform improvements within 2-3 months, and complete resolution possibly requiring 6+ months. If hardware revisions are necessary for issues like antenna design, it could take until mid-2026 for fully corrected products to reach consumers, assuming Ikea pursues redesigns at all.

Are other Matter devices from different brands working properly?

Yes, generally. Philips Hue, Eve, and other established manufacturers have working Matter implementations because they either entered the market later (learning from early mistakes), conducted more thorough testing before launch, or had longer experience with Thread. This suggests Ikea's problems are not universal to the Matter standard itself but rather specific to their implementation and testing processes.

What should I do if I've already purchased Ikea Matter devices that won't connect?

Document your commissioning attempts with screenshots or video. Check that your border router has the latest firmware update. Consult Ikea customer service with details about your specific setup, mentioning the known widespread issues. Request either a refund or extended return window beyond the standard period. Keep devices powered and on your network to potentially benefit from future firmware updates addressing known issues.
