How Many Moduel Modules Do You Actually Need? A Room-by-Room Guide

Most people don't buy a smart home system in one go. They buy one module, see how it fits, and add another when they need it. That's the whole idea behind Moduel — a system built from small parts that click together, not one box you have to commit to.

So rather than tell you what's in a kit, here's what we'd actually put in three real rooms: a desk, a kitchen, and a bedroom. Find the room that sounds like yours and start there. Already have an IKEA ÅSKVÄDER system at home? Every Moduel module clicks straight into it — no need to start over.

Before: cables everywhere. After: one system, clicked together.

How it works, in three steps

Before the room-by-room breakdown, here's the short version of how Moduel works.

Building a Moduel system, start to finish — under two minutes.

The desk setup

A desk usually needs three things: somewhere to charge a laptop or phone, power for a monitor or speakers, and a lamp you don't have to reach behind the desk to switch off. Here's what covers that.

• USB-C Module F2 30W PDFast charging for your laptop or phone, without a separate charger block on the desk.
• Smart Matter Control Module F1Turns your desk lamp into a Matter smart-home device — switch it from your phone or group it with the rest of your home.
• Outlet Module O1-1One extra outlet for a monitor, dock, or speakers.
• Power Cord PxConnects the whole setup back to the wall.

The kitchen setup

Kitchens tend to have more appliances than outlets — a kettle, a coffee machine, a mixer that only comes out occasionally. A couple of modules solve most of that without adding a trailing extension lead across the counter.

• Outlet Module O1-2Two outlets in one module — enough for a kettle and a coffee machine side by side.
• Extension Cord CxReaches across the counter to wherever the nearest wall outlet actually is.
• Smart Matter Control Module F1Schedule the coffee machine to switch on before you're even downstairs.

The bedroom setup

Bedside tables usually need less than people think: somewhere to charge a phone overnight, and a lamp you can switch off without getting back out of bed.

A bedside Moduel setup — charging and lighting, no extra electrician needed.

• USB-C Module F2 30W PDBedside charging for your phone, at full speed.
• Smart Matter Control Module F1Switch the lamp off from your phone once you're already under the covers.
• Outlet Module O1-1One more outlet for a humidifier, fan, or reading light.

Wherever you start

Whichever room you pick first, the idea is the same: no electrician, no renovation, just modules that click together and grow with your home, one room at a time.
