Which firmware are yours running? I am experiencing the same problem but was thinking to buy an Ikea bridge to update the firmware… ---

I received the following reaction on my support ticket; "Thank you for reaching out to our support! When you operate the button on your IKEA plug, it does not automatically update its status to Homey. When it comes to power sockets, especially Zigbee power sockets their behavior differs. For instance using this same button on the Trust ZCC-3500 does update Homey immediately, The INNR SP-240 behaves the same as your Ikea device, while yet again other models update this status with a varying delay. In other words, this is device speciific behaviour and not something within our control." So the tiny button is not supported ---

Any updates on this? Maybe after updating the firmware through IKEA hub?
