This might be the cheapest smart plug you can buy right now for Apple Home

This is the IKEA GRILLPLATS and I have been waiting since it was announced to get my hands on one

Six pounds for the plug, seven if you want it with a remote bundle. The remote alone is 3 pound to buy speerate, so it makes the piug effetely 4 pound

And at that price… it almost sounds too good.

Because on paper, it ticks everything.
