Ikea launched its smart bulbs last August and claimed that during the month of October they would be compatible with Apple's HomeKit. For now when we enter the Ikea website today we do not see changes regarding the specifications and its compatibility with HomeKit, but now several media warn that these TRADFRI bulbs are available in various colors.
We have visited the Spanish website of this popular brand of furniture and other household items, and we have not seen any change in this type of bulbsIt is also not indicated when they could be available but it is evident that they will soon reach everyone.
Competition is always good And taking into account that this company offers really competitive prices for its products - leaving aside their quality, which may be debatable in some cases - we are sure that this is good news for those who want to start in this world of « home automation »simpler.
Undoubtedly Ikea is ready to stand up to the big brands and their bulbs that have a remote control named TRÅDFRI With which you can regulate the light intensity without the need for fixed installation, now it would also serve to change color.
The article of 9to5Mac tells us that the light bulb is already available in the United States and this means that it will soon be in the rest of the world. On the other hand, it should be noted that it's not just Ikea or Philips with their Hue the only brands that we find in home automation, koogeek and others are putting the batteries in this section and have very good alternatives.
