IKEA Inspelning (plug with power sensor)
Can this integration also read the power values (current Watt, and kWh since Timestamp) of the "IKEA INSPELNING Smart plug" ?
Firmware: 2.4.45 Model: INSPELNING Smart plug Product-ID: #2206
My current setup of IKEA Dirigera via the "HomeKit" integration does not support these. I've heard people using "Z2M" that are able to utilize the value, but I'd rather use this integration via the Dirigera Hub assuming it allows the IKEA APP to just work as intended without being dependent on Home Assistant.
I bought the dirigera hub yesterday and use this integration. Here I can see all values:
However, as you can calculate yourself from this example, the shown W value does not correspondent to the calculated V*A value. For my Tasmota plugs, I could define a power factor, so that the Amps are corrected. This should be established here as well. This is crucial, when you want to measure Watts from inline power, provided by mini PV panels. In this case, Inspelning reports positive values for Amps and kWh, but W remains 0 (zero). And without correct Amps values, you then cannot calculate Watts. I don‘t know, if this should be done in this App or if IKEA should be triggered to let the Watts be calibrated, such as Tasmota does.
Would be great, if the Current Active Power would be logged as long term statistics by default and not only Amps and Volts.
