Those of us in the UK might be escaping what’s probably the worst heatwave we’ll see all summer, but that definitely doesn’t mean the hot and humid days are over just yet. Yes, you can invest in one of the best fans or a portable air conditioner, but the gadget I’ve actually been relying on most over the past few days is something many people would probably overlook completely.
The IKEA Timmerflotte is a compact and very affordable smart home sensor that measures indoor temperature and humidity, allowing you to see exactly what the conditions are like inside your home. That’s useful on its own, but the real highlight is the fact it’s Matter-compatible, meaning it can connect directly into your wider smart home setup if you already use a Matter hub.
