IKEA continues to make slowly but surely the smart homeKit-enabled blinds available for purchase. After gradually launching at IKEA stores in the United States in October, IKEA has now made available the online purchase of FYTUR and KADRILJ smart blinds.
As first noted on Reddit, IKEA HomeKit blinds are now available throughout the United States for transportation. This means that you can place the order online and deliver the blinds directly to you, as opposed to visiting an IKEA store to complete the purchase.
Availability seems to vary depending on your location, as well as the size and color you want to order. Also, transportation costs vary depending on your location, as shoppers on Reddit have noted. It seems to be based on your proximity to a store or distribution center.
IKEA first launched smart blinds in the United States in October, but availability has not really been widespread. The offer has varied wildly from one store to another, but online availability aims to remedy this at least to some degree.
Also, IKEA smart launches were first launched without HomeKit support, despite the initiative of the company initially promising HomeKit support. HomeKit control has reached the FYTUR and KADRILJ blinds through a firmware update earlier this year. Here's how it works with the Home and Siri application.
IKEA smart blinds attract many people because they are much cheaper than the alternatives on the market, but your design options are limited to a stop option and a less opaque option.
IKEA smart blinds are priced between $ 129 and $ 179, and you'll need the TRADFRI hub to enable HomeKit control. You can check availability online and place your order on the IKEA website. Have you tried IKEA smart blinds? Tell us in the comments!
