Great news for smart home enthusiasts across the UK: IKEA has officially launched two of its most anticipated and affordable smart gadgets. The IKEA Myggbett Door/Window Sensor and the Myggspray Wireless Motion Sensor are now hitting shelves and online orders, bringing practical, budget-friendly automation to British homes.
Initially released in other European markets and the US in late 2025, these two sensors mark a significant step in IKEA's mission to make smart home technology accessible to everyone. Priced at just £7 each, they promise robust functionality without the hefty price tag.
Meet the Myggbett: Your Door and Window Guardian
As the name hints, the IKEA Myggbett Door/Window Sensor is all about keeping tabs on your home's openings. This discreet, white sensor (measuring a slim 17 x 82 mm) is a simple way to add a layer of security and convenience.
Once paired with the IKEA Dirigera smart hub, it springs to life. Receive instant notifications on your phone via the IKEA Home smart app if a door or window is opened while you’re out, or after you’ve gone to bed. But its uses go beyond security. Imagine your hallway lights gently turning on as you open the front door after dark, or receiving a reminder that the patio door was left ajar. Powered by a single AAA battery, it’s a set-and-forget device that blends seamlessly into any interior.

Introducing the Myggspray: Motion-Activated Lighting Made Simple
For those dark corners where a light switch is just out of reach, IKEA offers the Myggspray Wireless Motion Sensor. This compact, round device (40 mm in diameter) is perfect for porches, garages, stairways, or even cupboards.
Designed for both indoor and outdoor use, its primary job is to illuminate your path. It can connect to and trigger up to ten smart bulbs or fixtures simultaneously, casting light exactly when and where you need it. A key feature is its customisable timeout: you can choose whether the connected lights turn off automatically after one or five minutes of no motion, helping to conserve energy. No more fumbling for keys in a dark doorway or navigating a gloomy garage with arms full of shopping.

Seamless Smart Home Integration with Matter
Perhaps the most significant feature of both new products is their built-in Matter compatibility. This universal smart home standard means these £7 sensors aren’t locked into IKEA’s ecosystem alone. They can be effortlessly integrated with popular platforms like Apple Home, Google Home, Amazon Alexa, and Home Assistant. This future-proofs your purchase, giving you the freedom to build a mixed-vendor smart home that just works together.
Availability: Find Them Online or In-Store
At their compelling price point of £7 each, these sensors are poised to become smart home staples. IKEA confirms that alongside online availability, stock is already appearing in numerous physical stores across the country. The brand’s store stock checker indicates availability at major locations including IKEA Wembley, Belfast, and Edinburgh, with more stores likely to follow suit.
This launch reinforces IKEA's position as a serious player in the democratisation of smart home technology, proving that effective, useful automation doesn't have to cost a fortune. Whether you're looking to enhance your home's security, add hands-free convenience, or simply dip a toe into the world of smart devices, these two new sensors offer a perfect and incredibly affordable starting point.
