Ikea blinds still don't work with HomeKit...

However, everything seemed well on its way to being settled once and for all. At the beginning of the month,Ikea announcedthat all the deadlines postponed concerning the compatibility of its blinds withApple HomeKitwould ultimately result in a definitive update expected to arrive shortly. But two weeks later… Still nothing.

Should we start talking about a fiasco? Missed deadlines are certainly common in many sectors of activity, but here the wait has now lasted for approximatelyone the. And when we know that the products concerned have already convinced a good number of customers, we wonder why their manufacturer continues to fail to respect its promise.

Delays in Europe

If in the United States the new version of the software equipping the connected window objects in question has indeed started to arrive, this is not the case for all French and English homes. Indeed, onTwitterin particular, more and more Internet users are complaining again, trying to obtain explanations fromIkea, whose community manager unfortunately still remains unclear. Here, for example, is the case of a Frenchman who remains hungry:

It’s indeed time to rethink your app…
ps: and when is HomeKit compatibility in Europe? ?

In addition, on the other side of the Channel, residents of the United Kingdom also confirm that they have still not seen a new tile arrive on their applicationMaison:

Hi there, due to some technical issues with the latest update that was launched in the USA, we have had to delay rolling this update out within the EU until these issues have been fixed. We currently do not have a date for this but our team is working on this. Thanks, Jamie

We will therefore have to wait, again... But how long? If Ikea provides a real answer - which will be difficult to trust - we will publish it here.
