IKEA doesn’t mention this on its site, but specifically mentions compatibility with the TRÅDFRI app, Alexa and Google Assistant assistants available on the App Store and Google Play Store. The smart plug appears to be controllable with Google Home, Amazon Echo, and HomeKit. However, it is not mentioned in the technical sheets on the IKEA site.
