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?

Come to think of it, I've had one issue with an Echo Show not triggering a routine when it motion detects me coming in to my home office and turns on a couple overhead lights controlled by TP-Link dimmers - but I figure that's more related to the Echo Show than the switches, but still working on it.

For example, I use Home Assistant to bring together all of the different home automation products in my house. I used one of these devices to plug the blower fan on my fireplace insert into. I added an automation that when the blower fan turns on, to automatically turn up the living room television volume by 4 clicks and also to turn on the living room ceiling fan to high.
Since the plug only updates at 10 second intervals, that delay of up to 10 seconds was annoying. Frequently a family member would beat it and turn up the TV volume, and then shortly thereafter it would automatically increase again. Now with the Zooz Z-wave plug, it's instant. Of course they are nearly 6% more expensive.
Just thought I'd throw that out there in case this scenario matters to you.

I don't see any reason to jump on these new matter plugs at this time, given the above.
