Over 1.2 million ÅSKVÄDER products have been sold. More than 100,000 households have one — many of them without ever knowing the system was designed and built by the team now behind Moduel. For two and a half years it sat on IKEA's shelves under IKEA's name. The engineering was ours.
That matters right now, because if you own an ÅSKVÄDER setup, you are not starting from scratch. Your cables work. Your modules work. The connectors are the same ones Moduel uses today. Whatever you have plugged in at home carries straight over — there is nothing to replace and nothing to throw away.
What you can add is the part ÅSKVÄDER never had. A Smart Matter Control Module (249 SEK) clicks into your existing chain and brings the whole setup onto Apple Home, Google Home and Amazon Alexa. It uses Matter, the shared standard the major platforms agreed on, so you are not locking yourself into one ecosystem. No electrician, no rewiring, no app that only talks to one brand of phone. You click the module in where you want control, and the rest of your existing setup stays exactly as it is.
The practical question most people ask next is which Start Kit to build around if they're extending into another room. Start Kit Schuko (549 SEK) is the straightforward one — four modules, three colours, everything you need for a standard room, and it's fully in stock in white, grey and black. Start Kit Smart Schuko (699 SEK) includes the smart control module from the outset, which suits the room where you actually want voice or app control: usually the living room or the home office rather than a bedroom. A reasonable approach is one smart kit in the room you'll automate, plain kits everywhere else, and a single smart module added later wherever you change your mind. That's the whole point of a modular system — the decision isn't permanent.
If ÅSKVÄDER is being wound down, the honest version is this: the system isn't going anywhere, because it never really depended on the shelf it was sold from. The same people are still building it, the parts still fit, and it now does considerably more than it did.
