TP-Link Tapo P110 Mini Smart Wi-Fi Plug with Energy Monitoring

Very simple to set up and use. I have used Kasa brand previously and they now work in the Tapo application. I purchased these to monitor energy usage on a couple of appliance. Works as designed.

Also works with Home Assistant (with some minor fernangling) so I can record energy usage and control the plug from inside that software. Very simple to set up and use.

Works well with HomeAssistant, which is better than using the Tapo app.
Had one partially fail (stopped reporting power info) after a few month's but the others are fine. Works well with HomeAssistant, which is better than using the Tapo app.

It works as intended, I may get some more if needed! It works as intended, I may get some more if needed!

Have had about 10 of these in my house for the last 3-4 months. Don't expect them to integrate with Apple (Siri?) or Home Assistant - they're for Google Assistant and Alexa only.
Everything that is advertised that these plugs do, they do very well and reliably, with easy to use and highly informative software - although the software dosen't do automations. Use Google Home for that.
Great for being able to tell what is the most cost effective heating solution. Ask your sparky to put wall socket plugs on your hot water cylinders / aircon and you can monitor those as well.

I bought this so I can have a smart electric blanket. After price checking, got this and I have a electric blanket from Briscoes. I can have a smart blanket that heats up on schedule or on remote. This thing is amazing, it has schedules and timer. Now on cold nights, I can set it on for 30 minutes and it goes off after that. Imagine other stuff you can do with this!!!!

Does what it says, though I wish it could function without being connected to the internet all the time. The app is pretty lackluster as well, it offers simple on/off toggles and everything else has to be done via Google Home/etc (although it is not supported by Home Assistant!!). You can definitely find other, smarter switches if you shop around. Does what it says, though I wish it could function without being connected to the internet all the time.

If you only want to turn a switch on and off remotely on a schedule, find out how much power it used, and you're happy to use the Tapo app on your phone that *only* works with Tapo devices, great.

If you want it to integrate with Apple HomeKit, if you want to be able to ask Siri to turn this on for five minutes, if you want to use Home Assistant to control this: nah mate, you've got a long hard road to integrate it. Run away! Yes, you can integrate it with Siri and the official instructions are half a dozen pages long and involve making a Shortcut and are too complicated even for me. Home Assistant swears it supports Tapo, but the P110 doe...view more If you only want to turn a switch on and off remotely on a schedule, find out how much power it used, and you're happy to use the Tapo app on your phone that *only* works with Tapo devices, great.

Home Assistant swears it supports Tapo, but the P110 does not yet support Matter protocol and from the model number it looks like it never will: you're looking for the P110M which I don't believe exists?

In summary, this is a great bit of kit but it's all alone by itself on a very lonely island whereas the rest of my "smart" stuff is nicely integrated and works in with Home Assistant.
