QUICK SUMMARY
Ikea has reportedly launched its first outdoor smart plug in selected European countries.
The Tofsmygga Plug is a a Matter-compatible, IP44-rated option designed for outdoor use, priced at just under €13. UK and US availability hasn’t yet been confirmed.
It joins Ikea's growing lineup of affordable smart home tech, but this marks a first for the retailer in the outdoor smart plug category. For context, one of the better-known options in this space is the Eve Energy Outdoor Smart Outdoor Outlet, which retails for just under €80 in Europe.
The Tofsmygga Plug has appeared on multiple European Ikea websites at roughly €13. There’s no confirmation yet on UK or US availability, but if it does roll out more widely, it’s likely to attract plenty of attention thanks to its lower price point.
In terms of design, the Tofsmygga is marketed as weather-resistant, carrying an IP44 rating for dust and water resistance when the protective lid is closed. It also has a black plastic body that measures 62 x 108 x 71mm.
The plug works via the Ikea Home Smart app when paired with a Dirigera hub, or through other compatible smart home hubs thanks to Matter support. Users can also connect up to 10 plugs to a single remote control or motion sensor.
