Quick Verdict

The TP-Link Tapo P110 stands out because it does something genuinely useful: energy monitoring. Most smart plugs just let you turn things on and off. The P110 tells you exactly how much electricity each device uses and what it's costing.

Energy Monitoring

The Tapo app shows live wattage, today's kWh, this month's total, and a cost estimate based on your electricity rate. You can set your exact unit cost. I discovered my older TV's standby was costing more than expected — knowledge that paid for the plug in a month.

Smart Home Integration

Alexa and Google Home compatible. IFTTT adds automation. Away mode randomly toggles the plug to simulate occupancy — useful for security when you're on holiday.

App Quality

The Tapo app is clean, fast, and reliable. Setting schedules takes seconds.

Who Should Buy This?

Anyone wanting to understand electricity usage, automate appliances, or add voice control to lamps and fans. At this price, buying several makes sense.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it work with Alexa?
Yes — add the Tapo skill in the Alexa app. Voice commands for on/off and energy queries work well.
Can I see energy usage history?
Yes — the Tapo app shows daily, weekly, and monthly consumption with cost estimates stored in the app.
What is the maximum load?
3680W (16A) — suitable for most appliances including heaters, kettles, and washing machines.
