There are currently a large number of home automation accessories. From bathroom water analyzers, through the adjustable lights of our devices or the activated and automatic sprinklers. A large number of companies joined forces to generate a standard for home automation that would allow compatibility between operating systems and products, and the result was Matter, a standard supported by iOS and iPadOS. A few hours ago we discovered a new IKEA product compatible with the Matter standard that allows us to analyze the air quality in our house: VINDSTYRKA.
