Please search the forum for that plug, there are issues with power measurements. ---

As Robert already mentioned, probably that’s the info about the firmware issue and power measurement issues - [Hot oder Schrott? - #787 by DirkG](https://community.homey.app/t/hot-oder-schrott/17529/787) (in German - you would need to translate it) ---

I decided to buy one and test it. I think the accuracy is pretty decent for power consumptions \< 2 W. I was wondering how much a smart plug itself consumes, because 2 other methods, a Ledvance Wifi smart plug and an old school dumb power meter show zero consumption. The Inspelning shows 0.1 W for a Ikea Tretakt plug and 0.5 for a Ledvance, which seems pretty right to me. Anyway I am happy that it shows the power consumption with one decimal. But above 1000W the last digit seems to be forgotten, so that 1234 W shows is measured as 123 W, just as noticed by other users. I don’t know if this is a bug in the Homey app, or in the Inspelning hard- or firmware. ---

When you have the old software version 2.4.34, it indeed provides incorrect measurement data. Unfortunately, I bought the Dirigera hub for this and updated my modules to the latest firmware version 2.4.45. Now it does display the correct values. Unfortunately, I don’t have the means to verify the accuracy, but so far, I am very satisfied. ---

I indeed have the old 2.4.34 version. I assumed that the new firmware would already be installed on a newley bought device, after having been out of stock for a while. Is the only way to update to use the Dirigera hub, or are there alternatives? ---

But as far as I understand these options require a piece of additional hardware, is that correct? ---

Correct, but the Dirigera is a piece of additional hardware as well. ---

I may be simple, but what did Ikea say about selling you a device with an older & buggy firmware version? I’ve read they’re not unwilling to help you out by either updating the fw or replace the sensor with an up-to-date model. ---

That’s exactly what I had planned to do now. It’s good to read that Ikea seems to be willing to solve this. ---

Actually - it does but it’s Athom secret and nobody knows how (as per of one podcast). Interestingly, no API, no SDK but it does… 🤣 ---

So, the problem is at app dev’s end then? Or are there Athome/Homey issues as well? I did a workaround to upgrade my IKEA devices with RPi + HA + Zigbee stick but that feels like clumsy and unnecessary process to do… An integrated process would make everyone’s life much easier even if was “hidden” on dev web pages. ---

I’ve been to an Ikea shop with my Inspelning plug. They said I have no right for support if the problem can be solved by buying a Dirigera hub. How they were willing to update the device for me. The employee who did this said it would take a while. After 15 minutes it was not finished. The employed happened to have started the same update in his home installation and he could see that was not finished after 4 hours (!). So this is not an option. I figured the best option was to buy a Dirigera and return it after having it used for just the update. Unfortunately they were out of stock. Today I discovered that in the Homey insights the kWh is correct, as is the current in Amperes. I didn’t realize or see that before, and I have decided to stop the fight and accept this ---

Solved! I just restartet my Homey Pro and everything is fine! 🥳 - Hi! I see that Ikea Trådfri had an update 2 days ago and at the same time it stopped working for me. It says that the app is not available and when I try to restart it, I get that it is not installed… I have not yet tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but has anyone else experienced this? And what is the best thing to try? I have the devices connected directly to Homey Pro. No hub. Will my Flows disappear if I uninstall and reinstall? ![1000000818](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/8/0/80fb20d87b339ec6035a432a364791779ad9c53b.jpeg) [Previous page](https://community.homey.app/t/app-ikea-home-smart-create-the-right-atmosphere-for-every-mood-fka-ikea-tradfri-by-athom/111676.md?page=4) [Next page](https://community.homey.app/t/app-ikea-home-smart-create-the-right-atmosphere-for-every-mood-fka-ikea-tradfri-by-athom/111676.md?page=6)
