The Ikea Timmerflotte, as represented in an FCC filing.Ikea has registered its first Thread device, a new Matter-supporting temperature and humidity sensor called the Timmerflotte, with the FCC, reports HomeKit News. A diagram from the filing, which was spotted by CybermodStudios, shows a circular device thats powered by two AAA batteries and features a QR code and 11-digit number for Matter setup. The Timmerflotte doesnt appear to use any other wireless protocol other than Thread, HomeKit News notes. That means Ikea, which tends to use the Zigbee or Wi-Fi protocols for its devices, doesnt offer a hub that this device could natively integrate with. Ikeas Dirigera hub lacks both Thread border router capability, for one thing. And although it can now act as a Matter bridge, its not a Matter controller, meaning you cant control Matter products with it.That said, Ikea originally announced that the Dirigera would have Thread support. It ultimately didnt launch with it, but the Timmerflottes listing may be a sign Ikea is ready to switch on the Dirigeras Thread radios and Matter controller functionality. That could let it serve as a standalone smart home hub, similar to the Aqara M3 hub or Flics LR and Mini hubs.
