IKEA is best known for their low-cost DIY furniture, but the company is expanding into the smart home gadget market, with their first products being connected lights and outlets. However, they recently launched two smart window blind systems: the Kadrilj gray blinds that start at 99 euros and Fyrtur blackout shades that start at 119 euros, a vast discount compared to its competitors which range from $300 to $500.
Best of all, the portable, rechargeable battery pack eliminates the need to wire them to your home. The shades may be raised and lowered using the supplied remote, Alexa, HomeKit, or Google Assistant. The new shades also work with IKEA’s Tradfri smart lights and smart plugs, which can all be managed from the same app.
These new blinds will be available in Germany on February 2nd, but no international release date has been specified. IKEA is also leveraging the fact that it has been making curtains for years and that many people already own them, so the new smart blinds will work with IKEA’s existing Vidga curtain rails, allowing you to easily replace your current boring curtains.
