TP-Link Tapo P110 Review

1 0

Review of TP-Link Tapo P110 powered by the Slant community.

"Best overall" according to TechAdvisor review in 2023.
Works with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant for Voice Control. No hub required, works with Wi-Fi and can be controlled with the Tapo app. Schedule/Timer the smart plug to automatically power electronics on and off as needed.
Newer v1.2 models can monitor real-time power consumption via the Tapo App.
The European model seems to be more readily available than the US model, an alternative might be the P100 or P115.

What are the best smart plugs?

Pros

Pro
Energy Monitoring

Monitor real-time power consumption and energy spend via the Tapo App.

Cons

Con
Size

Not the most compact model.

Con
Security

As most smart plugs, it makes use of a cloud service (which is probably hosted on a server in China).

Con
Blocked port

The port that was available on older models for users that controlled the plug using their own (Python) scripts on a local network seems to have been disabled, and it can not be enabled again.
The Shelly Plus Plug might be a better option for local network usage.
