TP-Link's smart plug now monitors energy consumption following its latest update
TP-Link's Tapo P110M Mini Smart Wi-Fi Plug Enhances Energy Monitoring with Matter 1.3 Update
The TP-Link Tapo P110M Mini Smart Wi-Fi Plug, one of TP-Link's best-selling gadgets and an affordable option in the smart plug market, has received a significant update that could boost its popularity even further. The Matter 1.3 update enables the plug to support real-time and historical energy monitoring in several Matter-compatible apps [1][2][3][4].
Before the update, users had to rely on the TP-Link Tapo app to track energy usage. Now, with the Matter 1.3 update, real-time energy consumption data can be viewed in any Matter-compatible app, offering greater flexibility and convenience. Historical energy consumption data is also accessible, providing users with valuable insights into their energy usage patterns [1][2].
Two platforms, Home Assistant and Samsung SmartThings, have fully embraced this new feature. Both can display real-time and historical energy consumption data via their Matter integrations [1][2]. Other ecosystems like Aqara and Ikea show partial or developing support for Matter energy monitoring, but they are not yet fully verified or as complete as the first two [3].
The Matter 1.3 update also brings improvements in security and Wi-Fi performance to the Tapo P110M Mini Smart Wi-Fi Plug [1][2]. TP-Link rolled out the Matter 1.3 firmware update (version 1.3.2 Build 250526) starting July 30, 2025, enabling energy monitoring through the standard Matter protocol rather than proprietary methods [1][2].
However, it's important to note that not every Matter-enabled app supports Matter 1.3 energy monitoring, so user experience may vary depending on the platform and its update status [1][2]. Home Assistant, for instance, currently exposes energy, power, and some electrical parameters as separate entities and is expected to improve Matter cluster support further with community contributions [3].
In summary, Home Assistant and Samsung SmartThings are the primary Matter-compatible apps that currently support the TP-Link Tapo P110M’s energy monitoring feature after the Matter 1.3 update, with other platforms working towards compatibility but not fully supporting it yet as of mid-2025 [1][2][3][4]. This update not only enhances the functionality of the Tapo P110M Mini Smart Wi-Fi Plug but also underscores TP-Link's commitment to innovation and user convenience.
