These hardly ever go on sale, so this may be important for people who want the Energy Monitoring feature. You can pull the data using TP-Link PlugExporter [github.com] and feed that data into a Grafana dashboard.

This model has historically been $23 regular price, looks like they recently reduced that to $20.

Standard features copied from a previous post:

I clicked on this and Amazon said k bought it in November 2021 for $3.50. It was an Alexa Black Friday deal, so doesn't count. $22.99 - $19.50 FWIW.

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/
FYI, the 4 pack is $37.21 after a $5 coupon here:

Bought two of the 4-packs. I have two crappy smart plugs with energy monitoring but can't export the data. Hopefully the data on these is granular enough so that I can measure cost considering I have different rates at different times of day.

I have a few TP Link dimmers, but I'm hesitant to go all out on these since I don't want to clog up my wifi.

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

Thanks for your research. I'm also waiting for the change to Matter and I'll try the P125M

Is there a smart plug that I can just send it commands to its IP address? Like web curl commands to turn on / off?

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?

You're better off going with a ZigBee or z-wave plug.

I have 15 WiFi smart devices on my 2.4 Ghz band, and that number goes up to 25 over the holidays with holiday lighting. Those numbers include 5 TP-Link on/off switches, 6 TP-Link dimmers, and up to 11 TP-Link plugs No issues. I do have a decent TP-Link access point ceiling mounted in the middle of the first floor of our two story house - some of the perimeter devices have fairly weak signals, but I have no issues with disconnects or device response. I consider the 2.4 Ghz WiFi the "utility band" and it has its own VLAN ID, isolated from the rest of my home network.

I'll second the zigbee/zwave suggestion. I think the days are past of everything on your network having a web UI/API that can be hit by anything on the local network. Your choices now seem to be either a) going through a hub that is cloud connected or accessible locally, or b) individual cloud-connected devices that don't work if the internet or power is down.

Have you had issues lately with integration with Alexa? About 60% of the time recently, I get that the device "isn't responding", yet I can go into the app and everything is fine.

I would have recommended Kasa devices before all of this started, but now I can't...

Happens all the time with my myq HomeKit compatible garage opener. I've also got a dedicated iPad as a home hub that just stays plugged in the same spot all day long. Many times HomeKit shows MYQ is unresponsive but the MYQ app shows is connected with the MYQ unit.

No issues here with Alexa routines and TP-Link devices. You may have tried this already, but rebooting your router and access points (if applicable) and power cycling your Echo Dot device(s) may take care of it - not a great answer I know, but might work.

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.
