    Initially, Dirigera will only support Matter device types that Ikea currently offers — so, no robot vacuums, door locks, or fridges. However, Granath says that as they launch more smart home products, the hub will be updated to support more device types.

    Am I reading this right? Is there a filter possible where Ikea can decide to only accept Ikea ~mac addresses? If so, can they continue to ignore the wider product space?

    … or will an Ikea thread hub automatically accept rando thread units as per standard and they’re just using really bad sentence structure?

      It has to do with the device types not the devices themselves. Matter itself didn’t support every type of device at launch. It’s a software support thing.

      The second. It works with non-Ikea devices, but only works with device types that have an Ikea version like bulbs.
