Smart switches times two

New smart switch from Ikea

Ikea is reported to have started the testing phase for a new double switch for the smart home.

It is HomeWithApple that claims Ikea is not only working on a new temperature sensor but is also developing a double switch named Bilresa. Both devices are based on the Matter-over-Thread standard, which means they can communicate with other smart home devices without the need for a dedicated Ikea hub - for example, if you use a HomePod. Each button on Bilresa can be programmed individually to create customised scenarios in your smart home. 

Bilresa is reported to be in an internal testing phase, which means both the launch date and price are still unclear.
