IKEA’s new Timmerflotte temperature sensor has quietly arrived in the UK, adding another smart gadget to the company’s growing connected home lineup. With Matter support baked in, it’s ready to slot into setups powered by Apple Home, Google Home, or Home Assistant no hacks, no headaches.
IKEA Timmerflotte temperature sensor brings affordable smart tracking
Priced at just £5, the Timmerflotte is a budget-friendly way to monitor both temperature and humidity indoors. The round sensor features a digital screen up front, and users can cycle between readouts with a simple button press. Despite its compact plastic frame (just 7 x 7 x 3 cm), it taps into larger ecosystems thanks to Matter and the IKEA Dirigera hub.
That means it’s not just a passive display. When synced with the IKEA Home smart app, it can work in tandem with other smart devices triggering fans, humidifiers, or thermostats depending on your room conditions.
Canon’s AE-1-inspired mirrorless camera may arrive in 2026 with retro design, full-frame sensor, and an affordable price tag.
Smart compatibility extends beyond IKEA
Matter support makes the Timmerflotte especially flexible. It’s not limited to IKEA’s system. It can sync with Apple HomeKit, Google Home, and even DIY-friendly platforms like Home Assistant. So whether you’re deep in the Apple ecosystem or juggling multiple brands, this sensor fits in.
And since the IKEA Dirigera hub serves as the connection point, Timmerflotte can become part of routines or automations in seconds.

IKEA’s smart home lineup keeps growing
The Timmerflotte is part of a broader push from IKEA into the smart home space. Several other sensors are expected to land in the coming weeks, rounding out a suite of compact, inexpensive tools designed to integrate easily.
By sticking to its minimalist aesthetic and mass-market pricing, IKEA is carving out a unique niche. These devices aren’t flashy but they’re reliable, compatible, and simple to use.
Timmerflotte’s simplicity hides serious potential
At a glance, the Timmerflotte doesn’t scream “smart tech.” But under the hood, it’s doing a lot more than just measuring temperature. With the right setup, it can trigger automation chains across multiple platforms quietly working in the background to keep your environment just right.
Sometimes, it’s the smallest devices that make a smart home actually feel smart.
