You've got IKEA's ÅSKVÄDER kit running. Lights come on with the app, maybe a routine or two is set up. Then you want to add something — a light switch, another socket, a bit more capacity — and the question stops you: does it actually work with what you already have?
Short answer: probably, and here's why. IKEA Home Smart runs on Matter, a single smart home standard backed by Apple, Google, Amazon and IKEA together. Matter devices don't lock you into one company's app or hub. Add a device that carries the Matter badge, and it joins whatever system you're already using — Google Home, Apple Home, Amazon Alexa — without a separate bridge or a second app to manage.
In practice, that means your ÅSKVÄDER kit and a Moduel module aren't two separate smart homes bolted together. They're the same app, the same routines, one more socket doing something useful. Nothing to reconfigure, nothing to explain to the house.
The module built for exactly this question is the Smart Matter Control Module F1. It turns a standard socket into a Matter device with real energy monitoring — so you see what's actually drawing power, not just an on/off switch. It clicks into the same modular system as your ÅSKVÄDER kit. No rewiring, no electrician, no separate purchase decision to research from scratch.
Here's what a smart plug can't give you that a modular system can: a smart plug is one fixed socket, however it arrived in the box. Moduel is built from modules you click together and rearrange — add an outlet, add a USB-C port, add another length of cord — without buying a whole new unit or booking anyone to fit it. The smart part travels with the modular part. You're not choosing between flexibility and automation; you get both from the same click.
If you're starting from an ÅSKVÄDER base, the easiest next step is the Start Kit Smart Schuko — three Matter-ready outlets plus the control module, ready to click in wherever the cable chaos currently lives.
