Went to Ikea today and stumbled upon this lone 3-pack of their recent Bilresa scroll wheel remotes. You can get it in white too, but I think they’re much more fun in colours. More smart home stuff should come in not just white or black.

Ikea of course recommend using it with their own system, but it’s a Matter over Thread device, so I connected it with Home Assistant no problem, with HomePod minis acting as Thread border routers. That’s three brands of devices working together seamlessly.

Three IKEA Bilresa smart home remotes laid out on an oak countertop. Each remote is different colour: beige, dark orange and green. The remote is shaped like a lozenge with a round scroll wheel in one end of it.
