I checked the four pack and confirmed it does NOT have energy monitoring, so no go, but there was an Amazon "there's a newer version" link further down the page.
Kasa Smart Plug Mini 15A, Apple HomeKit Supported, Smart Outlet Works with Siri, Alexa & Google Home, No Hub Required, UL Certified, App Control, Scheduling, Timer, 2.4G WiFi Only, 4-Pack (EP25P4) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B14C719T
This is a 4-pack of Kasa Mini Smart Plugs that are HomeKit compatible for $42.21.
The camels show this has been around since June and regularly bounced between $40, $45, and $50 every couple of weeks.
I have a $5 clickable coupon that should bring the price down to $37.21, which is below the all-time low. $9.30 each for a newer (possibly better) version of you want four.
I run SmartThings and would much rather have Zigbee (hub-based) devices, but I was going to get one of these.
I just recently got a smart electric meter with time-of-day electricity pricing and want to learn more about my usage patterns.
None of these are compatible with Matter, the new industry standard to let smart devices interoperate.
I did a little looking at TP-Link's site, and it looks like they just launched a new Matter-compatible smart plug.
TP-Link Tapo Matter Compatible Smart Plug Mini, Compact Design, 15A/1800W Max, Super Easy Setup, Works with Apple Home, Alexa & Google Home, UL Certified, 2.4G Wi-Fi Only, White, Tapo P125M https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BNWGZ545
It's $19.99 on Amazon, but there's a 20% Off code on TP-Link's web site. If you enter code 20MATTER in Amazon's cart, you'll get the new plug for $16. It appears to work on any quantity.
TP-Link has lots of new devices planned to work with Matter. I might get one or two of these Tapo Matter-compatible smart plugs to play with. A $3 premium ($16 vs $13) over this Kasa seems like a reasonable price for a (hopefully) future-proof product.
I think I've talked myself out of getting either of these Kasa plugs, but they could still be a great buy for others.
Here's a link to this Matter-compatible plug on TP-Link's site. It includes some information about the new Matter standards. https://www.tp-link.com/us/home-n...apo-p125m/

I'd rather use something z-wave but those hardly go on sale. Hmm...

I don't want a device that needs to communicate to a server just to turn on/off, want to run with my own home automation server/scripts.
Does this KASA KP115 do that?
Looks like matter devices need a (in-house) matter server?
