Smart plugs are very useful for the smart home and the smart home cinema. They control several appliances. There are several smart plug brands out there.
IKEA also produces a smart plug at an affordable price. However, they are defective. During the last three or so years I have bought 7 of them. Six of them stopped working after one to two years. They started to produce the characteristic ‘clicking’ sound.
I was expecting my seventh IKEA plug that controls the light of my aquarium to start clicking soon. And yes indeed it started two months ago.
So 100% of the plugs were defective.
Sure, IKEA replaces the defective ones provided that you have the receipt. But who keeps the receipt for 1 year.
IKEA should have known that their plugs are 100% defective. If they don’t know then there is something wrong with them.
Until this issue is fixed KEEP AWAY from IKEA smart plugs.
Clicking can be dangerous. My TV started turning on and off until the IKEA plug was unplugged.
