The most popular smart plug is on sale at Alza. What can the TP-Link Tapo P110M do for 383 CZK?

Smart plugs are among the most accessible entry points into the world of smart homes. If you’ve been considering such a purchase, now is a great opportunity – the TP-Link Tapo P110M, which according to Heureka is the most popular smart plug on the Czech market, is currently on sale at Alza. With code ALZADNY20, you can get it for 383 CZK instead of the usual 479 CZK, which represents a 20% discount.

Matter and consumption measurement in one

The main draw of the P110M model is Matter certification, a modern standard for smart homes that ensures seamless communication between devices from different manufacturers. Thanks to this, you can integrate the plug into the Apple HomeKit, Google Home, and Amazon Alexa ecosystems and control it with voice commands via Siri, Google Assistant, or Alexa.

The second key feature is real-time energy consumption measurement. In the Tapo app, you can see current power draw in watts, daily, monthly, and annual consumption in kWh, and after entering your electricity rate, the approximate costs. Data can be exported to Excel for further analysis. The plug can handle a load of up to 3,680 W at a maximum current of 16 A, so it can handle more demanding appliances.

Automation and Timers

The Tapo app allows you to set schedules for automatic turning on and off of connected devices according to your daily habits. The automatic shutdown timer is practical – the plug disconnects after a set period, which you’ll appreciate for items like a curling iron or charger. An interesting feature is the away mode, which randomly turns a connected lamp on and off, creating the impression that someone is home.

The plug also offers overload protection – it automatically turns off if consumption exceeds a set limit. The material meets the UL94-V0 standard, which slows down burning, and there’s also a child lock.

Who is the plug suitable for

The TP-Link Tapo P110M will be especially appreciated by Apple ecosystem users who want an affordable HomeKit-compatible plug. Thanks to Matter certification, it works even without a proprietary hub – you just need an Apple TV, HomePod, or another Matter hub at home. It’s also suitable for measuring the consumption of individual appliances, whether you want to find out how much an old refrigerator or a gaming PC “consumes”.

Conversely, if you plan to use the plug in Home Assistant exclusively via Matter, be aware that the Matter protocol currently cannot transmit consumption data – you will only see the on/off status. For full functionality, including measurement, it is necessary to use integration via the TP-Link cloud or the HACS Tapo plugin. Some users also dislike that the plug’s dimensions take up space in a double socket.

What users say on Alza

With a rating of 4.8 out of 5 stars from 399 customers, the Tapo P110M is among the best-rated smart plugs on Alza. Over 20,000 units have been sold, and 96% of buyers recommend the product. The complaint rate is only 0.47%, which indicates reliability.

Users most often praise the simple setup, clear application, and reliable operation. They also appreciate the consumption measurement function with the option to convert to CZK and seamless integration into Apple HomeKit. One reviewer noted that they use the plug to remotely restart a router at their cottage – simply turn it off and on again via the internet.

Negative feedback primarily mentions the aforementioned size blocking adjacent sockets and the fact that initial setup requires the Tapo app and account creation – only then can the plug be added to HomeKit or other platforms. Several users also pointed out occasional response delays in Apple Home, which is more a problem of the Matter protocol itself than the plug.
