Ikea’s smart lights can now automatically adjust throughout the day

Ikea updated its Home smart mobile app this week with a new dynamic lighting feature that will automatically adjust the color temperature and brightness of its smart lights throughout the day. It’s similar to the natural light scene that Philips Hue introduced in late 2022, and is designed to provide warmer illumination in the mornings and evenings, with cooler hues in the day time.

Given the feature is specifically tied to Ikea’s Home smart app, it’s only compatible with lighting products that connect to Ikea’s Matter-ready Dirigera smart home hub that launched in the latter half of 2022. That includes products like its Sonos-compatible Symfonisk speaker lamp. However, it’s not known if the feature will work with third-party smart lights through Matter, and The Verge has reached out to Ikea to confirm if it’s compatible with the Adaptive Lighting feature in Apple’s Home app.
