IKEA is a multinational furniture retailer established in Sweden in 1943. The organization designs and sells ready-to-assemble furniture, home accessories, and kitchen appliances. IKEA is known for its modern and affordable designs, and for its unique retail experience, which includes large warehouse-style stores with in-store displays and restaurants serving Swedish cuisine.
IKEA already has a side table that doubles as an air purifier, but perhaps it has a proper scheme to gauge just how clean that air really is. The smart indoor air quality sensor has been introduced by the home store, the Vindstyrka, that indicates:
- particulate matter levels (those smaller than 2.5 micrometers)
- humidity
- temperature
- ae load of gaseous pollutants.
Preferably, you’ll know if cleaning or cooking habits of you are making you sick.
Vindstyrka operates independently, however, surprisingly the advantages of it become double when connected to the Dirigera smart home hub of IKEA. You can able to analyze air quality through the app the organization, and have the monitor control other gadgets. It can tell a Starkvind purifier to maximize the fan speed as per particulate levels, for instance.

IKEA is all set to release Vindstyrka in all its merchandise initiating in April. Pricing of it has not been revealed by the company as we write this, however, the feature set suggests it will be considered to be more affordable than other high-end air quality monitors (for instance: Airthings’ $299 View Plus) that also monitor CO2, radon and air pressure. It may be a viable choice if the humidity and temperature sensors built into your smart speaker are not much.
IKEA has offered a range of smart home products; these monitoring devices include many of the products:
- Motion sensors
- Wireless chargers
- Wireless blinds
- Wireless dimmers which can be used for home security and environmental monitoring.
Let’s explain about monitoring devices made by IKEA:
- TRÅDFRI motion sensor: A motion sensor that can be used to trigger smart lighting and other connected devices.
- TRÅDFRI wireless dimmer: A wireless remote that can be used to control smart lighting without the need for a smartphone.
- FYRTUR smart blinds: Motorized blinds that can be controlled via a smartphone app or voice commands.
- STYRELSE wireless charger: A wireless charger that can also be used as a motion sensor, triggering smart lighting or other devices when movement is detected.
- VINDRIKTNING air quality monitor: An indoor air quality monitor that can measure levels of carbon dioxide, humidity, and temperature, and provide alerts when levels are outside of a safe range.
It’s worth considering that while IKEA offers a range of smart home products, they are designed to work with the IKEA Home smart app and ecosystem, and may not be compatible with other smart home systems.
