My local Ikea hasn’t received any yet, but I found this article (https://matter-smarthome.de/en/products/how-ikea-masters-the-combination-of-thread-and-zigbee/) that states not only does the new Bilresa remote have the necessary hardware for Zigbee (in addition to Matter), it’s backward compatible with Ikea’s previous generation of Zigbee devices. However, it specifically mentions Zigbee’s Touchlink function which I’m not familiar with.

I don’t see the new devices listed in ZigbeeMQTT (https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/supported-devices/#v=IKEA&s=Bilresa). Can anyone confirm this behaviour or clarify my understanding? Would this be compatible with my existing Zigbee network in Home Assistant?
