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), which supports certified Matter devices generically; there is no MYGGSPRAY-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, its DIRIGERA hub the stated example. Per IKEA's compatibility statement, smart systems from Amazon, Apple, Google, Homey and Samsung apply, using that platform's own Thread border router. Can also pair directly with up to 10 IKEA light sources.
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: 2x AAA (HR03) 1.2V rechargeable — IKEA recommends LADDA; 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). IP67 rated — IKEA states it suits indoor and outdoor use. Battery life, detection range, and sensitivity figures are not stated on the US page, so none are recorded; light-level sensing is not recorded either (the Matter cert's device type is occupancy sensor only, and IKEA's spec text does not claim it). A separate Zigbee 3.0 certification exists for the same hardware, but IKEA's US page documents no Zigbee pairing path, so it is not listed as a protocol. 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 a phone cannot control it — the two required AAA batteries are sold separately, and IKEA publishes no detection-range, sensitivity, or battery-life figures at all.
Who it's for
Households already running a Thread border router in any Matter ecosystem who want motion-triggered automations at the lowest price in the category, including outdoors thanks to the IP67 rating, and DIRIGERA homes pairing it directly with IKEA lights.
