Water leaks are what IKEA's BADRING detects, over Zigbee through a DIRIGERA hub. On its own it still sounds a built-in alarm; with the hub it also sends a phone notification. Apple Home, Google Home, Alexa, SmartThings and Home Assistant are all unconfirmed. One AAA cell is needed and is not included.

“Via Matter” means you add it with that platform's Matter controller instead of a brand skill or app. “Unconfirmed” means we couldn't find an official source either way. How we verify.
Specs that matter for setup
- Radio: IKEA's launch release describes the three sensors as built on Zigbee.
- Hub: IKEA says a DIRIGERA hub (sold separately) is needed to use it as a smart product. Without one it still sounds its built-in alarm.
- Local control: No page seen says whether it works without internet through DIRIGERA.
- Power: IKEA recommends one LADDA rechargeable AAA (HR03, 1.2 V) cell, sold separately.
Before you buy
- Needs a DIRIGERA hub for phone notifications; without one it only sounds its own alarm.
- IKEA has not confirmed on any page seen that BADRING appears in Apple Home, Google Home or Alexa.
