- IKEA has launched a version of its smart home app for Apple Watch
- The app allows you to check your IKEA -Smarte lights from your wrist
- Support to other smart devices can be added at a later time
IKEA has released a new version of its Smart Home app for Apple Watch. The app has not been officially advertised yet, but has appeared in the App Store and allows you to control your IKEA -smart lights from your wrist.
As Polly Allcock from NotebookChelk notes, the change log for the IKEA Home Smart app not notes the new Watchos app, but Screen Grabs show that it lets you turn your smart lights on and off, adjust their brightness, choose lighting scenes and select custom colors from one Palet.
Ikea Home Smart for iPad, iPhone and Android also allows you to control other devices, including smart speakers, blinds and air purifiers, but screengrabs in the Watchos version shows only smart light options. It is possible that several devices are added with a future update.
To use the app, you need Watchos 10.6 or newer plus an IKEA DIRVEA HUB that allows you to connect your IKEA devices to each other and act as a question bridge.
