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

Ticks all the boxes, tried the Grid connect ones from bunnings...this is much better, use HACS to intergrate into HA, has all the sensors, power, voltage, current and KWH tracking Ticks all the boxes, tried the Grid connect ones from bunnings...this is much better, use HACS to intergrate into HA, has all the sensors, power, voltage, current and KWH tracking

Does what it says it will do on the box, but I had purchased it primarily as an energy monitor to test out how much power different appliances around my home were using. I was hoping for better accuracy, although probably got what I paid for. The current usage stat is measured to the nearest 0.1W which is good, but the daily usage stats are to the nearest 0.1kWh which is not particularly accurate.

Got one of these recently and managed to easily integrate it into my Homebridge and Node-Red home integration flows. Having the current power use accessible opens many more home automation options over a simple on/off plug.

I left a more detailed review on the P110M but the TL;DR of it is that these were built with a horrific design where the capacitor is practically designed to blow up over time, and when it fails, it will rapidly flick the power to your devices on and off twice a second. Good luck if you are using sensitive electronics and don't want to damage them.

Also don't use any heavy loads on this, such as washing machine, microwave, fridge, etc. It's not rated for that. Yeah, you'd think they would mention that.

I'm not sure what the expected lifespan of these are, but I wouldn't trust it to last more than 2 years. It already ran warm when I was runn...view more I left a more detailed review on the P110M but the TL;DR of it is that these were built with a horrific design where the capacitor is practically designed to blow up over time, and when it fails, it will rapidly flick the power to your devices on and off twice a second.

I purchased two of these, and they were fine for nearly three months. However, one of them started rapidly switching on and off, which seems to be a common issue based on my research.
Now, I'm seriously questioning the reliability of my other one. I purchased two of these, and they were fine for nearly three months. However, one of them started rapidly switching on and off, which seems to be a common issue based on my research.

I'm writing from the perspective of a home assistant user. I have tried pretty much everything that is easily available here in New Zealand and find these to be the best by far. I've found the tuya ones to be unreliable and update energy usage very infrequently (often going an hour or more without updating), and found the old Tp link ones to be good performers but unreliable, often needing resets to get them working again.

I find these to not only be easy to add to home assistant, but reliable, and most crucially for me, the energy monitors are responsive. I have them set to update home assistant every 5 seconds and they do so all day every...view more I'm writing from the perspective of a home assistant user.

I find these to not only be easy to add to home assistant, but reliable, and most crucially for me, the energy monitors are responsive. I have them set to update home assistant every 5 seconds and they do so all day every day without fuss. Icing on the cake is excellent cumulative energy usage data too, which is readily available to home assistant. Really helps you see what is using power around the house (spoiler, gaming adds up to more that you'd think...)

Easy to set up and use, great service. Easy to set up and use, great service.

This smart plug was easy to set up and the energy usage function is very useful for monitoring how much I am spending running my led lights on my African Violet plant stands.

I am happy to buy this one. To turn on and off through 4G is really quick. I am happy to buy this one. To turn on and off through 4G is really quick.

This is the 3rd set of these I've bought and they are brilliant.
Set them up and link them to Google home for a single panel control of power outlets and utilize automation.
Pool pump, decorative lights, garden lights etc...
Quality is great and have all outlasted other brand devices I'd tried in the past.
If I had more uses for them I'd definitely buy more :-) This is the 3rd set of these I've bought and they are brilliant.
