This might be the cheapest smart plug you can buy right now for Apple Home
This is the IKEA GRILLPLATS and I have been waiting since it was announced to get my hands on one
Six pounds for the plug, seven if you want it with a remote bundle. The remote alone is 3 pound to buy speerate, so it makes the piug effetely 4 pound
And at that price… it almost sounds too good.
Because on paper, it ticks everything.
- Matter
- Thread
- Energy monitoring
- Apple Home
I tested how it works just using the remote, with the IKEA hub… and most importantly, how it actually behaves inside Apple Home via Matter
And here’s the thing, its almost perfect, but it does have some issues
