Reviews
Sad to see this go. Anonymous reviewerThis was such a great product and I’m sad that I didn’t purchase more before they decided to discontinue them.
I use Home Assistant and the Zigbee is such a brilliant protocol. Seems they are moving to Thread/Matter so the days of value Zigbee products are gone. Energy monitoring and peace of mind this is a quality product. I beg you to bring these back!
Absolutely brilliant.Anonymous reviewerAbsolutely brilliant. Works perfect with Hubitat using Dandanache's community driver
Great, easy to setupAnonymous reviewerHome asssistant user with conbee stick and ZHA. plugged in press the reset button to enter pairing and added in home assistant. that's all, worked first time. Power monitoring and switching.
One of the best UK Zigbee smart plugs available, IF you can buy one...Anonymous reviewerFor the longest time, UK consumers had very limited choices when it comes to Zigbee smart plugs. They've either been expensive, unreliable, or missing features. I've tried using smart plugs from Aurora, Frient, Tuya and SmartThings and can definitely say these IKEA plugs have the best balance of features and pricing: Easy pairing with Zigbee2MQTT, energy monitoring (instantaneous + consumption), power-on behaviour control, quiet relay clicking and no random dropouts!
Now for the downsides - of the 6 Inspelning plugs I've used, 1 has developed an issue with the button - it sometimes doesn't register a press or registers it twice. I would go and exchange it, but this highlights the second and much bigger issue: availability. The last time I was able to purchase an Inspelning plug from IKEA was back in November 2024, in between now and then this product has been either missing from the store, or briefly in stock only to disappear hours later. IKEA please fix this and let us buy more!
Review title Anonymous reviewerReview body
Yes this works with home assistant Anonymous reviewerPlug it in, press reset and it will show automatically in home assistant.
Excellent value but one issueAnonymous reviewerBought 2 to control a) a 'granny' EV charger and b) a 1kW heater under Home Assistant control. Both paired easily and control as expected. However the one on the EV charger is reporting power usage at a tenth of actual ie it is a 2kW charger and unit shows steady 200W when in use. Not a major issue but will be returning for a swap when next in Southampton.
Excellent Anonymous reviewerI’ve got quite a few of these paired up with ZHA, after updating them, they work great. Once they are back in stock, I’ll definitely be buying some more
I bought 5 of these and none of them agree with eachotherAnonymous reviewerI bought 5 of these. One reports 1.5W of usage no matter what is plugged into it. Two of them report voltages 10% below line voltage (no it's not my outlets, I've tested them all in the same outlets)
Ultimately, I cannot recommend buying these as I cannot be sure the numbers on them are in any way accurate.
Inspelning power monitoring plugs work great with Home Assistant via Zigbee2MQTTAnonymous reviewerI love them, so easy to configure. I've bought 18 so far, will buy more
Brilliant, good value smart plugsAnonymous reviewerI bought 5 of these to track power usage of various appliances in my flat. It's helped establish what's costing and enabled me to better time my energy usage (I can't get a smart meter) in line with my economy 7 energy tariff.
Only negative is the "max 13a" is upside down as per the product picture
Works great with zigbee2mqttAnonymous reviewerNice little plug. They won't quite fit next to each other on compact power strip (earth 5.3mm apart)
Excellent zigbee plugAnonymous reviewerExcellent smart plug for the money, the live energy monitor is excellent. Can be integrated with other zigbee hubs if needed.
Some people truly are nuts...Anonymous reviewerSome people truly are nuts... you can't please them no matter what. This is a zigbee plug from a major brand that I can walk into their store and pick up from the shelf, and it works. It links with the brand's own Dirigera hub really well, and it also works with ZHA or Zigbee2MQTT. It has the two things you'd want from an energy monitoring plug: live usage and total usage. So you can put this into Home Assistant or whatever you use and do whatever you please with the raw data. You can probably link this into Grafana with NodeRed and have more info that you could shake a stick at. And all of this at only £9. With a power button on the plug itself in case you want to manually turn it on/off for whatever reason. It works, reports the changes reliably and looks to be solidly built.
Am I going to complain about it in any way, absolutely not.
If there's just one thing I hope IKEA can offer from this is raw data for current, voltage, and power. It would be nice, but not a deal breaker.
Decent smart plug, basic energy monitoring.Anonymous reviewerIt's basic in terms of monitoring energy in the IKEA app, you can see what's going on real time, but don't expect any kind of dashboard with historical readings. To be fair at £9 I can't complain, most other brands cost more, but you do get a little more like historical data. Go for the TRETAKT at £6 if you're not bothered about energy, that's a great smart plug for the price, it's exactly the same but without the energy reading. Personally, for £3 extra I like the instant energy readout even if it does need to be in the IKEA app.
Maybe it'll get better over time as IKEA put new firmware out and make improvements to their smart home ecosystem. At present I'm not aware that any of the big smart home providers (Apple, Google, Amazon) have a framework to deal with energy readings so don't expect to be able to do that yet.
Seems to work with Home Assistant, there are numerous energy related sensors, this is the way to go if you require more logging and data capture.
NOT a standalone wifi Smart plugAnonymous reviewerWhen I saw this I thought it was a regular wi-fi smart plug. No, you need to buy a £60 Ikea hub to make it work. Store display was not clear enough. I should have asked an assistant or researched on my phone. Returning unused for refund and will buy my smart plugs from a brand that work on home wi-fi without paying a fortune for a 'hub'...
Lacking Detail and featuresAnonymous reviewerI bought this plug as I was hoping for more energy related features, but it doesn't measure up to other similar devices out there.
Firstly, the energy measuring is 'live' and 'total' only. There are no reports or decent data sets out of it. You can see whatis being used in real time, and you can see what's been used in total, which can be reset to zero. But that's it.
The Live energy flow doesn't show up in the Home Smart dashboard, you have to go in to each separate device to see the energy information. So it's hidden down two or more clicks.
The next feature missing is the fact that this data doesn't show up when viewing in the google home app. I have a very big setup and use a lot of automations due to disability.
I wanted to create an automation (or scene) that said when the device has no (or negligible) energy draw, to turn off the plug. This seems to be exactly what it would be made for. I want to use this to automate a safe shut off for a wheelchair battery charger.
