P110M Mini Smart Wi-Fi Plug, Energy Monitoring, Matter Certified

An excellent product which works intuitively well in the Tapo environment and managed via the well designed intuitive Tapo app. The all important scheduling functionality works well and it is very easy to set up down to one minute intervals within a 24 hour day and 7 day week. Compare the scheduling functionality with other similar smart plug products, such as Hive for example, and will soon realise how superior the Tapo functionality is, designed to be flexible and easy to use with the end user in mind. A quality product at a very sensible and highly competitive price. Highly recommended unreservedly. Note. I have been a long standing user of Hive plugs and have therefore been able to compare the two products well.

Easy to use Smart Plug. I'm using these to control lights. Lights are set up to come on at a preset time and turn off 1 hour after sunrise. Very simple to set up.

This review relates exclusively to the Tapo P110M Smart Plug, with Energy Monitoring with MATTER, and not to any other similar TAPO product. I've been using wifi smart plugs as part of my home automation (using the Apple Home app) for several years now, and they have presented me with several problems: HomeKit-certified plugs are very expensive, and whilst many cheaper devices are sold as working with HomeKit, in my experience ANY device that is not HomeKit-certified will from time - and unpredictably! - go into the dreaded "not responding mode", which can be very disruptive, and can last from a few minutes to several days (in one case, 2 weeks!)!. I have used smart plugs from a range of manufacturers, including Tapo, all claiming to "work with HomeKit", and they have been a disaster. Many need the manufacturer's app to be installed in order to work at all (which I'm not prepared to do, for personal privacy reasons - too many of these apps send far too much information about you back to China or wherever) or must be connected via HomeBridge, but every non-certified smart plug I have used, without exception, has gone unresponsive at some time or another - usually at the most inconvenient moment! These P110M units are the first I have found that are just rock-solid reliable, and seem to have got around the HomeKit compatibility issue by their use of Matter. I have over the past few months replaced all my old smart plugs (about a dozen of them) with these P110M units, and have eliminated all my "not responding" problems. As well as all that, this unit is very compact compared to most other smart switches on the market, and works with Apple Home out of the box - there is no need to install any other software to make them work! - and for me these devices are as near perfect as I have been able to find - and at about £10 each are an absolute steal!
