Security tech has long favored the pricey and complex, but a new arrival from IKEA sets a different tone. Think a small device for doors and windows that slots into the home with minimal fuss, pairing with familiar gadgets and speaking a common smart home language. It signals a broader push to make connected protection accessible to anyone, not just the enthusiast with a toolbox.
Affordable security for every home
At €7, IKEA’s MYGGBETT sensor pings your phone the moment a door or window opens. The pitch is simple: instant awareness without a pricey alarm system. Aimed at renters and homeowners alike, the device lowers the barrier to basic home security and slots neatly into IKEA’s push to make smart living tools truly mainstream.

What makes myggbett unique?
Price matters, but ease matters more. MYGGBETT speaks the Matter protocol, the universal smart home language that lets devices from different brands work together. That means you can fold the sensor into existing setups—pair it with IKEA lights for an entryway glow or link it through a compatible hub—without juggling a mess of apps. Its compact two-piece design stays discreet on frames, so you notice the alert, not the hardware.
Setup that favors simplicity
Installation takes minutes. Position the two parts on a door or window so they align when closed—side by side or perpendicular—then connect through a Matter‑ready gateway for real‑time phone notifications. You can trigger scenes, too: lights on with the first crack of the door, lights off when it shuts. Because MYGGBETT works across Matter ecosystems, you are not locked into a single brand if your home setup evolves.

A growing appetite for smart safety
Demand for affordable, effective home protection keeps rising, and IKEA is leaning in with a device that is both practical and accessible. MYGGBETT runs on a replaceable LADDA AAA battery, sold separately, aligning with the company’s focus on durability and easy upkeep. Under €8, it invites people to start small—one entryway today, the rest of the house tomorrow—without overcommitting. Who says basic protection has to be expensive?
