Update, September 28, 2026: IKEA Sweden now exposes an online order action for LILJEBAGGE at SEK 199. IKEA's current manual identifies hardware type E2497 and documents direct Matter pairing. Read the LILJEBAGGE buying review for the current recommendation.
When IKEA first listed the product on September 4, article 806.220.62 used Matter over Thread but could not be bought online. No listing for another country was documented, so the launch began as an early Swedish product page rather than a thermostat most readers could buy.
The price is attention-grabbing, but the heating system decides whether LILJEBAGGE is useful. It replaces the thermostatic head on a water-based radiator. IKEA includes six adapters and five fitting guides, and says the set fits most water-based radiators. It is not a thermostat for forced-air heating, electric radiators, or underfloor-heating controllers. Two AA batteries are also required and sold separately.
Matter does not remove the Thread requirement
LILJEBAGGE can be adjusted from its display or controlled remotely through an app. IKEA says scheduled scenes can lower the temperature overnight and raise it in the morning. The valve also exercises itself every two weeks to reduce limescale buildup and has an anti-freeze mode. If the internet connection fails, it holds the last set temperature and still accepts manual changes.
Remote control needs a Thread border router. IKEA names DIRIGERA as one option and lists Amazon, Apple, Google, Homey, and Samsung among compatible Matter systems. The product page does not say which scheduling or valve-specific controls each outside platform exposes, so buyers should not assume that every IKEA app function will move with the Matter pairing.
There is still no reason to import the Swedish version merely to chase the price. Buyers in Sweden should check one radiator valve against the supplied adapters before ordering several. Everyone else should wait for a local listing with regional support rather than assuming the Swedish launch applies across Europe.
