Best for: budget Matter setups that still want energy tracking
Standout: about $9 a plug in the 4-pack, with Smart Charge Guard
Watch out: side button and 2.4GHz-only Wi-Fi
Not for: anyone who wants energy data inside Apple Home or Google Home
The Tapo P110M is TP-Link’s low-cost Matter smart plug with energy monitoring, so you can schedule a lamp or fan and see what any plugged-in device costs to run. A 2-pack sells for about $24 and a 4-pack for about $32 to $36.
What it’s good for
Chargers: put a phone, e-bike or tool charger on it and let Smart Charge Guard cut power once the draw stays low, so nothing sits on the charger all night.
Finding standby power hogs: a device idling at 10W around the clock uses about 88kWh a year, roughly $15 at 17 cents per kWh (estimate).
Setting Power Protection: pick a limit a little above the device’s normal draw. Matter Alpha found the shutoff isn’t instant, so treat it as a backstop, not a safety device.
What to skip: space heaters. Most heater manuals say to plug straight into a wall outlet.
Where your energy data shows up
The Tapo app shows everything. A 2025 firmware update also sends energy readings over Matter, and Matter Alpha found SmartThings and Home Assistant can display them. Apple Home, Alexa and Google Home still show on/off only.
How I researched this: TP-Link and Tapo specs, reviews by Matter Alpha and Trusted Reviews, Notebookcheck’s firmware report, and US retailer listings. Standby costs are estimates. Prices checked September 29, 2026.

Verdict
The best value in this lineup: Matter control, energy tracking and useful extras for about $7.50 to $9 a plug. If you already run Kasa gear, stick with the Kasa KP125M, and if you want to skip Wi-Fi, look at the Eve Energy or a Zigbee plug.
