IKEA GRILLPLATS not showing in SmartThings Energy dashboard – planned support?

Hi all,

I recently added the IKEA GRILLPLATS smart plug to my SmartThings setup via Matter. Pairing worked fine and I can control the device without issues.

However, I noticed that the plug does not appear in the SmartThings Energy dashboard, even though it supports energy monitoring and reports power usage data.

From what I understand, the device is capable of providing detailed energy metrics over Matter, so I expected it to show up similarly to other energy-monitoring devices.

Only two plugs are known to be certified for SmartThings Energy: Eve Energy (Matter over Thread) and Tapo P110M (only via cloud-to-cloud integration).

And Aqara smart plugs, in this case Zigbee.
Lets see if the recently announced here
Partner Announcement between ST and IKEA implies there maybe a change coming here.

I’ve just got two and they appear in Energy for me.

Looks like the plug has to be removed from SmartThings, then added again for SmartThings Energy to trigger. Now it appears for me too.

By the way, I just checked if the same would apply to the Tapo P110M via Matter but no luck. I really don’t understand SmartThings Energy, P110M with cloud integration is supported but not via Matter 1.3.

I was wondering about that. I probably bought the plugs too early. I wonder how many of my other devices will be supported when I reconnect them? A list of supported devices would be helpful…


Ha! My master plan is finally paying off!

Now I can swap out all my fancy Eve Energy plugs for IKEA’s budget-friendly alternatives, sell the Eves for a tidy profit, and waltz straight into a well-deserved early retirement. Back in the day everyone laughed at me for splurging on those premium Eve plugs… but guess who’s not laughing anymore?

My only problem is that the Grillplats in Sharptools, shows Wh at energy, (same as power) I want Kwh there.

In Smartthings it looks OK and shows KWh when over 1000 Wh.

I’ve twice purchased second hand Eve Energy plugs, their full price, or even a heavily discounted full price, being as ridiculous as their size. Both were completely dead on arrival.

I do have to put Grillplats somewhere where out of sight as when they are the right way up the ‘MAX 13A’ on the front is upside down. It is a carry over from the Tradfri plug which was always pictured upside down and designed so the LED was obscured by the plug lead and the reset hole was hidden underneath (not good for skirting height sockets).

Meanwhile in a civilized country continental Europe:

Eve Energy:

IKEA:

And yes, we can plug it in either way.

Never understood why the US/UK plugs are so huge. Someone should open one up and see what’s inside.

Yes, removing and adding works!!!

Thank you!

It is actually a very good design, if a little bulky.

The UK 13 A mains plug is great. It is the Eve Energy that is massive. Here it is next to a Grillplats, which is itself pretty chunky, but no more so than an Onvis S4 Matter.

The UK Matter over Thread plugs are typically about one cm bigger all round than Matter over Wi-Fi or Zigbee plugs.

IKEA and Eve have at least put the button on the top, which is more than Meross or Onvis have managed.

Useless without a banana for scale.

I had to throw away my bananas this week, otherwise there would have been one.

I know exactly what you’re talking about. We have the same issue with our 62 GHz presence sensor (Aqara FP2) in the kitchen. Even though the bananas are several meters away, they still turn brown within a day.

But surprisingly, the strawberries last for eight weeks.

FYI, the TOFSMYGGA outdoor plug also shows up in the energy dashboard, but only plug 1.

Thank you so much . I did exactly that, and now my grillplats show in the energy monitoring in ST. Very useful!:ok_hand:

Do you know if for the Shelly 1PM Mini it’s the same method?

Thanks

Being in SmartThings Energy service or not depends on partnerships with SmartThings to be in “the list”. List that is not even public so nobody knows which devices wil appear or not unless they happen to have one and check it out :sweat_smile:

Yes I understand that.

I guess I’m going to send, both of them, an email to see if they can make this happen for the customer!

Just a little positive pressure feedback :sweat_smile:
