Rank #10 in Best Smart Plug 2026: 10 Ranked, and Why 13 Amps Means Three Different Wattages
Tapo P110M Matter Smart Plug with Energy Monitoring, 4-Pack
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Tapo P110M is TP-Link's Matter version of the P110, sold here as a four-pack, and it takes tenth place in our smart plug ranking. At GBP 38.99 for four it is GBP 9.75 a socket, more than the standard P110 at GBP 7.99, and it carries the highest average on the page at 4.7 stars, with 85 per cent of reviews at five. That average sits on the thinnest evidence here, though: just 165 ratings, where the P110 has tens of thousands, so read the score as promising rather than proven.
The reason it finishes last is one candid line in its own first bullet. Its Matter energy monitoring, which is the whole point of paying the premium, "currently works with SmartThings and Home Assistant only". Apple Home and Google Home, two of the four platforms that jointly govern the Matter standard, do not show its energy data over Matter, even though the listing's own highlight promises it works with all of them. If you run Home Assistant or SmartThings this is arguably the best plug on the page and the ranking should be reversed for you; if you run Apple Home or Google Home, the ordinary P110 costs less and does more. Its electrical spec, at least, is cleaner than the P110's: three wires and a Type G plug, both correct, where the P110's table wrongly says Schuko. It declares 240 volts, which is TP-Link's third voltage figure across three listings, since the P110 says 220 and the TP11 says 240; none of the three is the 230 volts Britain actually runs.
How those 165 ratings break down
An average hides its own shape. This is the spread behind the 4.7 stars.

Questions people ask
Does the Tapo P110M show energy use in Apple Home?
Not over Matter. The listing states its Matter energy monitoring "currently works with SmartThings and Home Assistant only", so Apple Home and Google Home do not display its consumption data through Matter, despite the highlight saying it works with all of them. You would use TP-Link's own Tapo app for the readings instead.
Is it better than the standard P110?
It depends on your setup. If you run Home Assistant or SmartThings, its Matter monitoring works and it is arguably the best plug on this page. If you run Apple Home or Google Home, the ordinary P110 costs less per socket and delivers the energy data the P110M withholds over Matter, so buy that instead.
Why does it have such a high rating?
It averages 4.7 stars with 85 per cent of reviews at five, the highest share on the page. The catch is the sample: only 165 ratings, against tens of thousands for the P110, so the score is encouraging but not yet well proven. The one-star share is three per cent.
How many watts can it take?
The table gives 13 amps at 240 volts, which is 3,120 watts, though 240 volts is the pre-1995 figure; at Britain's real 230 volts, 13 amps is 2,990 watts. Either way 13 amps is the ceiling, set by the fuse, and a 3kW appliance sits at it.
How many plugs do you get?
Four. The model name is "Tapo P110M(4-pack)" and "Number of Packs" reads 4. Two other fields disagree on the same table, as on the other listings here: "Number of Items" and "Unit Count" both read 1.
Is its spec sheet accurate?
More than the P110's. It gives three wires and a Type G plug, both correct for a British plug, where the P110's table wrongly lists a Schuko connector. It also publishes real dimensions, 52 x 37 x 73mm. The voltage, 240, is the pre-1995 nominal rather than today's 230.
