Compatibility
| Ecosystem | Support | The catch |
|---|---|---|
| Amazon Alexa | WorksWorks with this ecosystem | No Alexa-specific listing exists; coverage rests on IKEA's blanket statement of compatibility with smart systems from Amazon, Apple, Google, Homey and Samsung, via standard Matter with a Thread border router on that platform. |
| Google Home | WorksWorks with this ecosystem | Same basis: IKEA's blanket Matter-systems statement naming Google; no Google-specific listing. Thread border router on the Google side required. |
| Apple Home | WorksWorks with this ecosystem | Same basis: IKEA's blanket Matter-systems statement naming Apple; no Apple-specific listing. Thread border router on the Apple side required. |
| SmartThings | WorksWorks with this ecosystem | Same basis: IKEA's blanket Matter-systems statement naming Samsung; no SmartThings-specific listing. Thread border router on the Samsung side required. |
| Home Assistant | WorksWorks with this ecosystem | IKEA does not name Home Assistant. The path is HA's official Matter integration (local push), whose supported-entity list includes binary sensors; there is no MYGGBETT-specific listing on either side. |
Protocols: MATTER · THREAD
Needs before it works: Matter controller plus a Thread border router before phone or app control works — IKEA's page states you need a Thread Border Router such as its DIRIGERA hub. Per IKEA's compatibility statement, smart systems from Amazon, Apple, Google, Homey and Samsung apply, using that platform's own Thread border router.
Subscription reality
✓ Works without a subscription: Yes.
No subscription referenced on the IKEA US product page, IKEA's smart-product support policy, or the launch press release.
Maintenance reality
- Batteries: 1x rechargeable LADDA AAA (HR03) — sold separately, not included
- Cloud dependence: No — core function survives without the vendor's cloud
- Matter over Thread runs locally; IKEA's support policy states smart products keep working, including on local networks without internet, after software support ends. Bluetooth is the commissioning radio (CSA cert); pairing is by QR code. Battery life is not stated on the US page, so none is recorded. Support duration: at least 5 years after purchase per IKEA policy, conditional on pairing with a DIRIGERA hub or TRADFRI gateway; the policy does not address the term for Matter devices used only with a third-party controller.
The catch
Matter over Thread only — without a Thread border router (DIRIGERA or another platform's) plus a Matter controller it does nothing — and the required rechargeable LADDA AAA battery is sold separately, so the $9.99 sticker is not the working price.
Who it's for
Households already running a Thread border router in any Matter ecosystem who want door and window open/close triggers at the lowest price in the category, and DIRIGERA homes extending IKEA's own sensor lineup.
