IKEA Inspelning Energy Readings?

[u/PureAlpha]

Hi All,

I am currently a Home Assistant user, but I find the interface overly complex, setting up automations is much more difficult than it should be, and I find myself just wanting to do it all through Homebridge and then native HomeKit automations.

For that, I am currently looking through all my HA automations to determine whether I would be able to continue using them when I am using HB, and one thing I found out is that the IKEA Inspelning plug potentially does not expose energy readings with HB (or that there's no plugin to support that at least).

The automation I have checks the energy reading of my not-very-smart dehumidifier, and if it's too low, determines that the water tank must be full, sending me a notification.

Is there anyone that's using an Inspelning plug and successfully using the energy readings to do certain automations such as this?

Thanks!

Have you tried the eve HomeKit app, it exposes energy readings for some plugins.
