Wendell over at Level1Techs had a brief aside in one of his Level1Linux weekly videos about IKEA’s smart home devices, including a temperature and air quality sensor that is fairly decent available for cheap. On a lark, I decided to grab a collection of devices and try them out, and I’ve been very happy with the experience so far. I’ll talk about what devices I tried out and my experience with them first, and then I’ll talk a little bit about how I have adopted smart home devices, and why I’m a fan of the tech being used with these IKEA devices.
