IKEA BILRESA smart remote control with a scroll wheel, white

Quick verdict

The BILRESA scroll wheel is IKEA's Matter over Thread remote for dimming and switching up to three groups, and in Home Assistant it shows up as a set of Generic Switch buttons you build automations on. IKEA's own US reviews are lukewarm, so weigh that before buying several. I haven't run this one; the notes come from IKEA's US product page, the CSA listing and Matter Survey data.

Standout: A cheap Matter over Thread remote with a scroll wheel for three groups.

Local control facts

Home Assistant: matter integration, Local Push (home-assistant.io, checked Nov 7, 2026)
Matter: certified (csa-iot.org, checked Nov 6, 2026)
Matter binding: no binding (matter-survey.org, checked Nov 6, 2026)
Matter group control: no (matter-survey.org, checked Nov 6, 2026)

Why it stands out

IKEA says it handles 3 groups of smart products, with up to 10 products per group
Matter Survey shows nine Generic Switch endpoints, so presses and wheel turns can drive Home Assistant automations

Reasons to hesitate

IKEA's US page shows 2.6 out of 5 from 396 reviews
takes 2 AAA batteries that are sold separately
needs a Thread border router and a Matter controller; in Home Assistant it sends button events, which you map to actions yourself

Best for

a dimming and scene remote on a coffee table or nightstand in a Thread-based Home Assistant setup
controlling up to three groups of lights from one remote

Avoid if

you want a remote with a strong customer track record; IKEA's own reviews are mixed
you have no Thread border router

Privacy and local-control notes

Matter over Thread remote with no cloud component. Presses and wheel turns reach Home Assistant over your local Thread network.

Home Assistant support: supported · integration path: matter.
