IKEA GRILLPLATS Smart Plug with Remote

Quick verdict

This kit is the GRILLPLATS Matter over Thread plug with an IKEA remote in the box. IKEA's page doesn't name the remote model, and one reviewer says the pair wasn't linked out of the box. I haven't run this one; the notes come from IKEA's US product page and Matter Survey data for the plug.

Standout: IKEA's cheap Matter over Thread energy-reporting plug bundled with a remote.

Compatibility snapshot

Why it stands out

• the plug tracks power usage, which Matter Survey shows exposed as an electrical power and energy sensor
• IKEA says one remote can control up to 10 plugs

Reasons to hesitate

• IKEA calls it a pre-paired kit, but a reviewer on IKEA's page says the remote and plug weren't paired out of the box
• the remote's batteries aren't included; IKEA recommends 2 LADDA rechargeable AAA
• IKEA's US page lists no maximum load, and the plug needs a Thread border router for phone control

Best for

• a lamp or appliance you want on a physical remote as well as in Home Assistant
• Thread-based setups that want cheap energy readings per outlet

Avoid if

• you have no Thread border router
• you need a published load rating before you buy

Privacy and local-control notes
