Tani Smart Home wreszcie ma sens. Sprzęty IKEA dogadują się z Samsung SmartThings bez dodatkowego huba
Budowanie inteligentnego domu z urządzeń różnych marek to często technologiczny koszmar pełen zrywających się połączeń i konieczności kupowania kolejnych „bramek”. Samsung i IKEA postanowili to w końcu naprawić. Aż 25 urządzeń szwedzkiego giganta zyskało właśnie natywną integrację z platformą SmartThings.
Jeśli kiedykolwiek próbowałeś spiąć tanie, ale bardzo przyzwoite akcesoria z IKEA z poważniejszym systemem Smart Home, wiesz, że wymagało to posiadania bramki DIRIGERA i sporo cierpliwości. Nowe porozumienie między markami całkowicie eliminuje ten problem.
Magia standardu Matter-over-Thread
Kluczem do sukcesu jest wykorzystanie protokołu Thread 1.4. Dzięki temu 25 najpopularniejszych urządzeń z IKEA (w tym inteligentne żarówki, gniazdka, sensory ruchu, temperatury, wilgotności, jakości powietrza i czujniki zalania) może łączyć się ze środowiskiem Samsung SmartThings bezpośrednio – bez żadnych sprzętowych pośredników.
To jednak nie tylko marketingowa naklejka „kompatybilne”. Integracja jest głęboka i pozwala na budowanie świetnych, zautomatyzowanych scen.
Przykłady? Czujniki jakości powietrza i temperatury z IKEA mogą teraz bezpośrednio karmić danymi system SmartThings, który na ich podstawie stworzy „Raport środowiska snu” lub automatycznie uruchomi tryb osuszania w klimatyzatorze. Prawdziwym hitem jest jednak obsługa bezprzewodowego, fizycznego pilota IKEA (z charakterystycznym pokrętłem) – można nim teraz precyzyjnie regulować natężenie i temperaturę światła w całym ekosystemie SmartThings, co jest znacznie wygodniejsze niż ciągłe odblokowywanie smartfona.
To doskonała wiadomość dla każdego, kto chce zbudować solidny inteligentny dom, nie wydając przy tym fortuny na peryferia.

"In the early 2000s, mesh networks were on the verge of being everywhere and connecting everything. Daisy-chaining many devices like beads on a string would “accommodate hundreds or thousands of nodes” and provide “low, up-front cost, easy network maintenance, robustness, and reliable service coverage,” according to mesh-networking forecasts from 2004 and 2005, respectively.
But it would take over two decades to get there. During that time, a range of mesh protocols and standards emerged, each claiming to be the solution—only to flame out or splinter into new incompatibilities.
In 2026, mesh networks that can work together in real-world settings are finally arriving. But rather than a single dominant standard that could power all variety of mesh networks, three separate but interoperable technologies are instead reaching maturity more or less simultaneously: Thread 1.4, a mesh standard for low-power smart-home devices; the Wi-Fi 7 standard for high-bandwidth computing; and the smart-home protocol Matter, which acts as a translator, so devices on different mesh networks can talk to one another. Together, these three provide the beginnings of compatibility and interoperability that has eluded mesh proponents for so long.
However, this multistandard compromise may well only be a way station. “I expect that one mesh technology will eat all the others eventually, possibly incorporating them,” said Mihail Sichitiu, professor of electrical and computer engineering at North Carolina State University, in Raleigh. “Maybe not immediately, but eventually. Looking at how other things evolved, it’s just a matter of time.”"

Read ENews Europe's article below to learn all things 1.4 and dive into the features of the newly released spec: "With the 1.4 update, device manufacturers can begin implementing a mesh network where regardless of the brand, smart home platform, or mobile OS, adding an updated device or Thread Border Router, will join the existing network rather than create a new one."
Embedded Computing tells us how the release of Thread 1.4 will ease universal smart device networking: "For example, users can add a 1.4 updated Matter-enabled device to any existing Thread network connected by a Thread 1.4 Border Router, regardless of software or hardware ecosystem, according to the release."

The Verge talks all things Thread 1.4 and how the spec can make your smart devices even smarter. "The new spec also enables better connectivity by leveraging Wi-Fi and ethernet alongside Thread, makes it easier to see what’s going on in your Thread network to simplify troubleshooting, and allows manufacturers to connect devices directly to the internet."

Thread Group launched the 1.4 specification of the smart home protocol today. It brings fixes for border router interoperability, better insight into your network, and the option of direct internet access for devices.
Sam Mobile walks through the Thread 1.4 enhancements and tells us how Thread 1.4 will strengthen Matter and the smart home experience. "Thread 1.4 mandates how Thread devices can connect to an existing network. So, in the future, when you add a new Thread border router, it should work with your existing Thread network regardless of its brand."
