It's cool that they are going to support matter. Now, they just have to be able to be 100% local only. If they do that and never talk to "the mother ship" or could be deactivated then I would consider buying some of their stuff possibly. I do prefer to be able to flash my own firmware though.

>Back in July, it was revealed that Ikea was about to go all-in on Matter, with a bunch of new smart home devices in the works. And now we’ve got some concrete details of exactly what is coming with the Scandinavian furniture giant taking the covers off of 21 new, very-affordable, Matter-over-Thread gadgets, across three launch segments: lighting, sensors and control. "Until now, smart home technology hasn’t been easy enough to use for most people - or affordable enough for many to consider," explained David Granath, Range Manager at Ikea. This launch brings us closer to helping everyone feel ready and confident to get started," he added.
