I went to Ikea and bought every smart product I could find

In this video, I visit IKEA Croydon to check out their new smart home gear, evaluating how their new smart tech measures up. I demonstrate how to set up IKEA's smart devices and trial their new ikea dirigera hub in a comprehensive home automation system. This setup helps create a seamless smart home setup with reliable zigbee and thread/matter devices. # Product links: Home Assistant Connect ZBT-2: https://amzn.to/4mpFUy5 Aqara Zigbee 3.0 Motion Sensor: https://amzn.to/4cj0FXD Aqara Door and Window Sensor (Zigbee version): https://amzn.to/3OfqjVa Aqara Door and Window Sensor (Matter version): https://amzn.to/48gAU9h Innr Zigbee E27 Smart Bulb: https://amzn.to/423l4uQ SMLIGHT SLZB-MR2U Zigbee & Thread Coordinator: https://amzn.to/3Oo3BtQ As usual, I won't link to IKEA specific products because links vary country-to-country, I would link to their Amazon pages so I could get some affiliate commission but they are SO much more expensive on Amazon. In fact, I don't suggest buying these online at all as IKEA charges a lot for delivery. Go to your local store if you can. My T-Shirts are from https://www.qwertee.com btw.
