There are so many reasons to love IKEA. Whether you rely on its inexpensive yet reliable furniture, secretly can’t get enough of the DIY assembly process, or take advantage of the generous family loyalty program, the brand has proved itself as a flat-pack furniture standby.

With VALLHORN, PARASOLL, and BADRING—three smart home security sensors that pick up motion and water leaks in small, aesthetically pleasing packages—IKEA has officially made its way into the smart home sector. According to Stjepan Begic, a product design developer at IKEA of Sweden, the brand’s latest Life at Home Report showed that people prioritize comfort and security in their homes.
“Everyone wants to feel safe at home and we feel excited about entering a new smart product area that creates not only a better, but safer life at home,” wrote Begic in a press release announcing the devices. “We believe these products can provide our customers with peace of mind and a greater sense of control and comfort.”
