I spent 5 days in Berlin checking out the latest smart home tech, and these are four announcements that really stood out.

🏠 @shelly.iot showed off its new Matter-enabled smart home control screen, giving you a physical touchscreen for controlling Shelly devices alongside compatible Matter accessories.

💡 @aqara.smarthome.official had a huge lineup, including new Matter lighting, the FP400 presence sensor, G510 camera, W700 thermostat and new smart locks with Apple Home Key support.

🤝 @nanoleaf + @philipshue was one of the more unexpected announcements. Nanoleaf Shapes can now work with the Hue entertainment ecosystem, bringing two of the biggest smart lighting brands closer together.

🤖 And @dji is moving further into the smart home with its new ROMO robot vacuum —
These are only four of the brands I found at IFA.

🎥 Watch my full IFA 2026 video for everything worth seeing for Apple Home, Matter and Thread.
