This KAJPLATS is IKEA's E26, 1100 lm color and white spectrum bulb on Matter over Thread, so it pairs to Home Assistant through any Thread border router without the IKEA hub. Expect basic Matter light controls: on/off, dimming, color and white temperature. I haven't run this one; the notes come from IKEA's US product page, the CSA listing and Matter Survey data.
Standout: A low-cost Matter over Thread 1100 lm colour bulb for standard E26 sockets.

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)
no IKEA hub required; any Thread border router and Matter controller such as Home Assistant can run it
Matter Survey shows it with Group control, so a Matter group command can switch several bulbs at once
Reasons to hesitate
needs a Thread border router before it can be controlled from a phone
Matter only gives basic light controls, so IKEA's app-side extras such as scheduled routines live in the IKEA Home smart app with the DIRIGERA hub
sold only through IKEA, with no Amazon listing
Best for
standard E26 lamps that need a full-color bulb bright enough to light a room
Thread-based Home Assistant setups that want cheap color bulbs without a vendor hub
Avoid if
you have no Thread border router
you need bulbs from a retailer other than IKEA
Privacy and local-control notes
Matter over Thread bulb. Commands from Home Assistant stay on your local network through a Thread border router; no IKEA account is needed for Matter control.
Home Assistant support: supported · integration path: matter.
