Ikea Inspelning (Power consumption) + Philips Hue Bridge? Power consumption not available

Hi,

Just bought a few of the new Ikea Inspelning switches with Power Consumption. As I use the Hue Bridge for all things things Zigbee I added the Inspelning Swtiches to the Hue Bridge. That worked as expected.

Also as expected, but I hoped I was wrong, the power consumption is not available. Neither in the Hue app nor the in Home Assistant. I assume the Hue Bridge doesnt support that part of the standard.

  1. Am I correct or is something fishy with the Inspelning Swithes instead?

  2. Does the HA Zigbee Connect dongle, ZBT-1 support this?

  3. Any other proposal?

Big thanks!
Tobias

You’re probably correct.

A number of people seem to be using those plugs successfully, although some have reported issues with calibration.

How did you even connect the IKEA Inspelning to the hue bridge?

Just put the Inspelning switch in pairing, pushing the small reset button in the small hole next to the big button. Then just add a device in the Hue app.

As I didnt get power consumption, I actually gave up the Hue system and bought a Sonoff stick with Zigbee 3.0. Works perfect…
