The compact device transforms conventional electrical appliances into intelligent components of a connected home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Smart plugs are one of the easiest ways to transform an existing home into a smart home. They are plugged in between the wall socket and the device and then allow control via app, voice assistant or automated scenes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">With the GRILLPLATS, IKEA is primarily focusing on <strong>simple operation, energy monitoring and wide compatibility<\/strong> through Matter over Thread.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is the IKEA GRILLPLATS?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>BBQ AREA<\/strong> It is a compact smart plug that is inserted between the wall socket and the electrical device. This allows any connected device to be digitally controlled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Devices can be controlled via a smart home app or automations, for example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Turn on and off via smartphone<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">automatically control according to schedule<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">integrate into smart home scenes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">This allows devices such as lamps, coffee machines or fans to be automatically activated or completely disconnected from the power supply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Support from Matter<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">An important feature of the GRILLPLATS is the support of the open standard Matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Matter<\/strong> It was developed to simplify the interoperability of devices from different manufacturers. Devices using this standard can be integrated into many smart home ecosystems and used across platforms. IKEA is also using it in its latest generation of <a href=\"https:\/\/chrissmart.de\/en\/category\/ikea-smart-home-systeme\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/chrissmart.de\/category\/ikea-smart-home-systeme\/\">Smart home devices<\/a> increasingly relying on Matter to enable better compatibility and easier setup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Examples include Apple Home, Google Home, Amazon Alexa, Samsung SmartThings and <a href=\"https:\/\/chrissmart.de\/en\/category\/ha\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/chrissmart.de\/category\/ha\/\">Home Assistant.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The device uses the Matter over Thread wireless standard.
