Parasoll: A Guardian for Doors and Windows
The Parasoll sensor monitors door and window openings, providing peace of mind when you’re away from home. Discreetly mounted to doors or windows, Parasoll triggers automations upon detecting an open or closed event. Additionally, Parasoll can be paired directly with an Ikea smart light, automatically turning on the light when a door or window is opened.
Vallhorn: Keeping an Eye on Motion
Vallhorn, the motion sensor, detects movement within your home or outdoors. Whether it’s an unexpected intruder or a furry friend, Vallhorn sends real-time notifications to your smartphone, keeping you informed of activity in your designated areas.
Badring: Combating Water Leaks
Badring, the water leakage sensor, acts as a vigilant protector against potential water damage. Placed near sinks, dishwashers, or other water sources, Badring detects even the slightest water leak, triggering an alarm and sending an alert to your phone, allowing you to promptly address the issue and prevent further damage.
Affordable and Accessible Smart Home Solutions
Priced under $10 each, the Parasoll, Vallhorn, and Badring sensors make smart home technology more accessible to a wider audience. These affordable sensors empower homeowners to enhance their home security, convenience, and peace of mind without breaking the bank.
Seamless Integration with Ikea Smart Home
The new sensors seamlessly integrate with Ikea’s Dirigera smart home hub, enabling users to create automations and control their connected devices through the Ikea Home smart app. Additionally, Parasoll can be paired directly with Ikea smart lights, eliminating the need for a hub for basic functionality.

With their affordability, versatility, and compatibility with Ikea’s smart home ecosystem, these sensors are poised to make a significant impact on the smart home market.
