    Getting started with TRÃ…DFRI smart lighting - IKEA

    IKEA is launching 21 new smart home products focusing on lighting, sensors, and control — all built to work with Matter, the universal smart home standard.

    From the internet
    Quote
    Matter is an open, universal standard for smart home devices that aims to improve interoperability, security, and simplicity. Developed by the Connectivity Standards Alliance, Matter acts as a common language allowing devices from different manufacturers to communicate with each other and with various ecosystems. This means a device certified with Matter will work with any other Matter-certified device or hub, regardless of the brand.
    End quote

    So it appears that the importance is that your controller is 'Matter' compliant.

    'Matter' ??? you learn something everyday!!

    Oh
    And just to make things better (maybe ???)

    Yes, you can control IKEA smart bulbs with Alexa, either by using a gateway or by connecting directly to an Alexa device that has a built-in Zigbee hub. Once connected, you can use voice commands to turn the lights on/off, change colors, and adjust brightness, as well as control them through the Amazon Alexa app
    End quote

    So Amazon will get to know even more of your life habits !!!

    Thanks Peter all very interesting stuff, if you're into that sort of automation.
    My needs by comparison seemed simple; a. A decorative light-bulb if possible. b. on/off and three stage dimming c. All done with a dedicated simple fob.

    Then IKEA wireless dimmer is probably the way to go
    BTW
