If you've searched "IKEA ÅSKVÄDER compatible" or "ÅSKVÄDER alternative" in the last few months, you've probably landed here more than once. IKEA discontinued the ÅSKVÄDER smart plug and connector range earlier this year, and a lot of Nordic homes are left with a system that still works but can no longer be extended, repaired, or bought new. Here's the direct answer: Moduel is built on the same connector specification. Anything that clicked into ÅSKVÄDER clicks straight into Moduel.
Same cables, same connectors, same click
ÅSKVÄDER's outlet modules, extension cords and power cables all used a standardised click-together connector — no tools, no electrician, no rewiring. That's not a coincidence. Moduel's system was built to the same mechanical specification, which is why the two ranges are interchangeable. If you already own ÅSKVÄDER modules, cables or extension kits, you can extend your existing setup with Moduel parts today: outlet modules, extension cords, wall mounts and end caps all click in without needing to replace anything you already own.
This matters more than it sounds. A discontinued product range usually means you're stuck — no spare parts, no way to expand, no way to fix a broken cable. With Moduel, that's not the case. The system you built with ÅSKVÄDER keeps growing, because someone is still making the parts.
What Moduel adds that ÅSKVÄDER never had
ÅSKVÄDER was a mechanical system — no app, no voice control, no scheduling. The Smart Matter Control Module F1 is where Moduel goes further. It clicks into the same system and adds Matter support, so it works natively with Apple Home, Google Home, Amazon Alexa and Samsung SmartThings without a separate hub; on/off scheduling and remote control from your phone, from anywhere; and voice control through whichever smart home ecosystem you're already using.
You don't need to rebuild anything to get this. If you've already got an outlet module from ÅSKVÄDER or an earlier Moduel purchase, you can add a Smart Matter Control Module F1 alongside it and bring that one outlet under Matter control in a couple of minutes. No electrician, no drilling, no separate wiring job — the same click-together mechanism does the work.
Is my existing cable actually compatible?
If it's a standard ÅSKVÄDER outlet module, extension cord or power cable, yes — the connector geometry is shared, which is the entire point of building to the same specification rather than a proprietary one. The only parts that don't cross over are anything IKEA sold as an app-connected "smart" accessory outside the core mechanical range; for those, the Smart Matter Control Module F1 is the direct replacement, and it's a straightforward swap rather than a system rebuild.
Where to start
If you're building from scratch, the Start Kit Smart Schuko is the simplest way in — it comes with the Smart Matter Control Module already included, alongside the outlet and extension modules you need for a working setup. If you already have modules from ÅSKVÄDER or an earlier Moduel purchase and just want to add smart control to one outlet, the Smart Matter Control Module F1 works as a standalone add-on. Both are in stock now, in White, Gray and Black. As a thank-you for making the switch, first orders get 20% off.
Why this system keeps going
Moduel's connector has already sold over 1.2 million units across the Nordics under the ÅSKVÄDER name — that's not marketing copy, it's units already installed in real homes, built to a standardised, modular power specification that was always bigger than any one retailer's product line. IKEA stepping back from it doesn't end the system. It just means the company building and supporting it going forward is Moduel. It's also why customers keep telling us the same thing in reviews: the outlet is still exactly where the electrician put it years ago, only now it does more.
If your ÅSKVÄDER system still works, nothing forces you to change anything today. But when you're ready to add an outlet, replace a worn cable, or bring smart control to a room that never had it, you're not starting over. You're clicking into the same system, just with someone still making the parts.
