IKEA INSPELNING (EU) is a Zigbee smart plug that measures the energy use of whatever is plugged into it. IKEA designs it for the DIRIGERA hub, which brings it into Apple Home, Google Home and Alexa; it cannot join the older TRÅDFRI gateway. IKEA does not state a maximum load, and SmartThings and Home Assistant are not confirmed.

“Via Matter” means you add it with that platform's Matter controller instead of a brand skill or app. “Unconfirmed” means we couldn't find an official source either way. How we verify.
Specs that matter for setup
- Radio: IKEA's pages do not name the radio. The CSA lists the INSPELNING smart plug (IKEA of Sweden) with a Zigbee certificate, specification 3.0.1; the listing names no region.
- Hub: IKEA says app control from anywhere, extra features and Alexa, Apple HomeKit or Google control need the DIRIGERA hub and the IKEA Home smart app; it cannot join a TRÅDFRI gateway. IKEA does not say what works without a hub. Same treatment as TRETAKT.
- Local control: No official statement on local control found.
- Energy monitoring: IKEA says it tracks the power use of whatever is plugged in; no accuracy figures given.
- Max load: IKEA's product pages do not state a maximum load.
Before you buy
- Needs the DIRIGERA hub for app and voice control; the TRÅDFRI gateway is not supported.
- Not Matter-certified itself; IKEA does not state a maximum load.
