    Oh good! A power-consuming item to tell me how much power I’m consuming. Oh, and I’m sure it has an app (that certainly respects my privacy), because I can’t just buy a kill-a-watt wall plug meter to do that!

      Ikea smart devices are all zigbee so far, which is great since you can just plug it in to home assistant and it does respect your privacy.

      Plugs like this are also a lot more useful than just saying total power consumption or whatever. I have a few similar for automating not smart devices. Things like a proper notification when my kettle or rice cooker is done, notification when humidifier is empty, etc. You get the functionality of a smart device but it’s as cheap/robust as the original version, and privacy respecting/more secure since it can’t be connected to the internet
