IKEA is set to expand its smart home portfolio. On one side, the Parasoll window and door sensor and the Vallhorn motion sensor are set to launch in early 2024 (we reported), and then the Bath Ring will make its way a bit later. The IKEA Bath Ring connects to the DIRIGERA Hub and then monitors your rooms for leaks. In other words, a water leak sensor. Not that much is known about the Bath Ring at this time, except that it will be available in the first markets towards the end of March / April.
Provided that IKEA proceeds as with the Vallhorn and the Parasoll, they will be able to pass the Badring through to other systems as well – it would also be nice if they will maintain the quite competitive price with which the other two sensors start (from 10 euros). In my opinion, the three sensors could make sure that IKEA’s smart home devices get more attention again, of course, this is then about the mix of function and price.
