IKEA åskväder Smart Power strip

Here in Europe, IKEA have released their own extendable Power Strip, which can be enhanced with a Zigbee Module. It can be paired with HE and will work with the built-in Generic Zigbee Power Socket driver, and the IKEA Tradfri socket driver, but the problem is that I have to manually refresh it on either driver to get the status.

Is there a way to do this refresh automatically ?

Have you tried hitting the "Configure" button on the device page (to run that command; you won't see anything happen visibly) to see if that affects reporting?

Also, this looks neat! OK, actually kind of ugly like Ikea's smart outlet, but a neat idea. There aren't a lot of smart power strips that work with Hubitat, so this will be nice to have if it ever makes it into more markets.

Great advice! Hitting configure solved this indeed. Now the status is updated. This of course makes me wonder why one would have to do this in any case, and I wonder why it isn´t done automatically.

On the subject of design, I actually like it, you can daisy chain several modules and you can add a USB charging module as well, so it is really versatile. You can have 2 sockets, then extend the cable and do 2 other sockets and a USB on the second one. I wonder what they could add later.

When a new device is joined that isn’t known, configure sends the driver parameters to the device.

If you open a log in another tab, go back to the device tab and change the driver type to “Device”, then click Save, and then click “get info”, it will output the device fingerprint in the log.

Post the log output for that device here and @mike.maxwell can add the device fingerprint to future platform builds so it will no longer be necessary to click configure.

Good idea. Here is the fingerprint:

That's looks cool. Can you control the additional modules individually, or is it Musketeers? :upside_down_face:

I haven't tried, as I only have one Zigbee module, but I think you can daisy chain modules, so you could make sections I assume.

Edit: Some clarification. You cannot control several outlets with one zigbee module, but you can have one zigbee module for each outlet, but that would create some dead space. It would be nice if one could use one module to control 2-3 seperate outlets in the same strip.
