Admin, Gamepad.Club Mail: me@gazimoff.com I'm a former videogames journalist and critic that specialised in MMOs and online games. These days, gaming sits alongside parenting and family life. I still clock up time in WoW, FFXIV and EVE, but I'm also on mobile with Genshin Impact too. I'm also regularly playing Magic: The Gathering and Dungeons & Dragons, and I've got into miniature painting (mostly Warhammer 40K).

This means that I can’t set up automations in the Apple Home app like ‘if power consumption drops then send a push notification’.
Yes, I can always use Homey or Home Assistant, but that negates the point of trying to keep things on one ecosystem.

In further IKEA smart home adventures, I also picked up some of the Grillplats smart plugs. There’s both good and bad sides to these…
-
They are seriously cheap.
-
You can get them bundled with a smart switch at a further discount, but they don’t work with each other out of the box.
-
Apple’s Home app won’t give you energy consumption info. For that, you need to use IKEA’s own hub and app (or a third party one like Homey or Home Asst).
