IKEA BILRESA Dual Button

Quick verdict

The BILRESA dual button is a low-cost Matter-over-Thread remote for scenes and light toggling. It joins your Thread network and is controlled locally through a Matter controller like Home Assistant, with no IKEA hub or cloud account. As a newer Matter device, confirm Home Assistant's current Matter support before buying.

Standout: Cheap two-button controller that runs fully local over Matter-over-Thread.
