IKEA Home Smart Shortcut Buttons will soon be released for sale!
Following my video earlier in the week in which I reviewed the IKEA Home Smart range, I looked into the details of the latest IKEA app update which revealed that the long awaited Shortcut Buttons will soon be released for general sale.
The Shortcut Buttons were first exhibited back in late-2019, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, plans to release them were temporarily shelved. With 2021 just around the corner, IKEA appears to be readying this new product launch!
But what is the point of these buttons? What purpose do they fulfil?
I consider these questions in this brief update on my favourite budget HomeKit compatible system!
