wireless driver for its integrated LED lights Called Dubbelkisel, it connects your lights to IKEA's Bilresa hub It's Matter-enabled so you can integrate it into a wider smart home setup If you have IKEA integrated lights in your cabinets or wardrobe, there's good news the company has just launched a new driver that lets you control them wirelessly, with Matter compatibility, so you can integrate them into the rest of your smart home.

The new driver, called Dubbelkisel , is a successor to the Trdfri driver, which allowed you to control your integrated lights via a small remote
control using the Zigbee protocol. The new driver is different; instead of linking directly to a remote, it connects to IKEA's Dirigera hub, which means you can operate your cabinet lights with any of IKEA's smart switches or
even non-IKEA devices as part of wider Matter setup.

As Notebookcheck reports, news of the Dubbelkisel leaked earlier this year , when the driver appeared in a database of Thread devices, but this is the first time we've seen it on sale.

"No problems so far," wrote one poster on r/tradfri . "Its paired via a gateway, so theres a noticeable delay when turning on the light. The previous Trdfri power supply was connected directly to the remote and worked instantly. Also I preferred the old, small Trdfri remote over the current Bilresa model."

The new driver is currently available in a selection of European countries, and is expected to roll out more widely within the coming weeks. It's priced at 18, which is approximately $20 / 15 / AU$30. Follow TechRadar on Google News and add us as a preferred source to get our expert news, reviews, and opinion in your feeds.
