IKEA TOFSMYGGA Outdoor Plug

Two different plugs under one name

IKEA sells TOFSMYGGA in two versions that share a name, the Matter-over-Thread connection and a -25 to 40°C rating, but differ where it matters most: what you can plug in. The US and Canadian E2435-NA has two outlets with a button each. The European E2435-EU has a single socket. IKEA sells it in Germany, Austria, the Netherlands, Italy, Portugal, Finland, Sweden, Norway, the Baltic states, Romania and Serbia; its UK, Irish, French, Spanish, Belgian, Danish, Polish and Swiss stores did not list TOFSMYGGA in early November 2026. The two versions are not interchangeable (the North American plug runs on 120 V, the European one on 220 to 240 V), so buy from your own country's IKEA.

In North America, two lighting jobs from one outdoor outlet

At about $20 in the US and about CAD 20 in Canada, the North American TOFSMYGGA offers an appealing way to give two outdoor jobs different schedules. Patio lights can stay on while a seasonal decoration turns off, and each socket has a physical button. That is a tangible benefit over a basic splitter that treats both loads as one.

Power tracking adds interest, but separate switching should be the reason to choose the two outlets. The available information does not establish separate energy totals for each socket, so this is no substitute for buying two individual meters. The 1800 W, 15 A rating covers both sockets together, and motor loads are limited to 300 W.

In Europe, one socket at a very low price

The European TOFSMYGGA costs about €13 to €15, or 149 kronor in Sweden and Norway, and it is the simpler product: one socket for one outdoor job. It is rated for 16 A and 3680 W, again with a 300 W limit for motors, and IKEA includes energy monitoring. Which Matter apps show those readings is still unclear, so buy it for switching and treat the meter as a bonus.

The price is what makes it stand out. The SONOFF S61s Outdoor costs about €5 to €7 more, while the Shelly Outdoor Plug S Gen3 and Aqara's Thread-based Outdoor Plug H2 EU each cost more than twice as much. SONOFF and Shelly use Matter over Wi-Fi; the Aqara earns its premium only if you want its Zigbee mode for an Aqara hub or its higher 50°C rating for a sunny wall.

Thread decides whether the low price holds

TOFSMYGGA uses Matter over Thread for app control. If suitable Thread hardware and coverage already reach the patio, the purchase can stay close to the cost of the plug. Direct control with an IKEA remote or motion sensor is another option for a simple lighting job, and it needs no hub at all.

If the outdoor position has Wi-Fi coverage but no useful Thread connection, the Wi-Fi plugs above are the practical comparison in Europe. In North America, Cync Outdoor Smart Plug and Tapo P400M offer the same two-outlet switching over Wi-Fi, although Tapo's own US store showed P400M sold out in early November.

Outdoor does not mean install it anywhere

The North American version is IP65 only with its lid closed. The European version is IP44 with the lid closed or with an IP44-rated appliance plug in the socket, so with the lid open and an ordinary indoor plug in the socket, the IP44 rating no longer applies. Both manuals limit TOFSMYGGA to temporary use and rule it out as a substitute for permanent wiring, which makes it a seasonal or movable control. They also warn against direct sunlight, and the plug switches off above its 40°C limit, so a sun-baked wall is a poor spot.

For a permanent installation in Europe, Eve Energy Outdoor is the Thread socket an electrician fits.
