IKEA filed two test reports with the FCC this month for sensors that can be added to a smarthome network. They are the Parasoll, a sensor to measure whether a window or door is open or closed. And the Valhorn, a motion sensor

the big thing for me is if i can use them without another hub. i've already got 4 and am not keen to introduce another. but i do like what ikea's doing for smarthome gear in general.

Sadly I believe they will require the Dirigera hub. But I’m with you. If prefer a hub inside the device itself, like Aqara with its camera’s.
