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).

Applause for holding the fort whilst our usual #IKEA-goers are having a jolly in Belgium. (-:
You've given me a mind to call in at a farm shop myself, later.

Esmu tuvu tam, lai #DIRIGERA tiktu nesta atpakaļ uz #IKEA . Tikai gudros kontaktus varēju pievienot, viss pārējās (Threads) nekontaktējas. Visas pamācības par reset, izslēgt/ieslēgts, restartēt, pakoķetēt un iepērt ar pātadziņu nepalīdz.
Tā jau #DzīvoklisKuldīgā netiks pie gudra aparāta, lai tās lampas var vismaz krāsainas uzlikt :)

I built this clothes rail that can be clipped outside on #Ikea #Pax sliding doors, so I have a place to hang fresh clothes while I‘m sorting what‘s inside the wardrobe. As it turns out it fails after being fully loaded for a few weeks (as in „after being used as an extension of the wardrobe with a massive load“).
This is a good thing™️ because it failed before the sliding door hardware failed.
Something always will give in the end, it‘s good if that‘s a part that can be fixed easily.
