IKEA is introducing three new Zigbee smart home sensors that cost less than $10 apiece.
As with most smart home sensors, these new IKEA devices are battery powered and easy to install.
The PARASOLL sensor attaches near the opening of any door or window.

The new VALLHORN motion sensor is notable for its IP44 dust and water resistance rating.
In fact, it has a greater operating range than the old TRADFRI sensor!
But the coolest product in this lineup is the BADRING water leakage detector.
The BADRING has an integrated 60 dB siren and can send notifications to your phone.
These cheap smart home sensors offer some basic functionality out of the box.
Some customers are committed to Matter, which is perfectly understandable.
Matter makes it easier to set up a smart home and broadens the compatibility of some products.
But the Matter smart home standardhas been watered downto accommodate corporations like Amazon and Google.
Customers in the U.S. can buy the VALLHORN motion sensor in January 2024. International customers will have access to all three products by April.
