5 Smart Plug Alternatives to the TP-Link Tapo P115 (Including 2 That Are Better)

EIGHTREE 5GHz Smart Plug with Energy Monitoring - Priced at £34.97 and rated 4.6★, this smart plug is compatible with both Alexa and Google Assistant, providing similar features to the Tapo P115. The EIGHTREE model supports a 5GHz Wi-Fi connection, which can lead to better performance in crowded networks, while its energy monitoring feature helps track electricity usage. However, it may not have the same intuitive app interface as TP-Link. Choose this plug if you prioritize speed and network performance.

Meross Smart Plug with Energy Monitoring - Available for £33.99 and also rated 4.6★, the Meross plug offers similar features, including compatibility with SmartThings. This model comes in a pack of four, making it a great value for those who want multiple plugs. One downside is that the Meross app is not as user-friendly as TP-Link’s. Opt for this if you're looking for a bulk purchase.

Tapo P110 (4-Pack) Smart Plug - At £30.99 and rated 4.5★, the Tapo P110 offers similar functionalities but at a lower price per unit if you’re looking for multiple plugs. It retains the energy monitoring features and scheduling options familiar to Tapo users. The downside is that it might not include some of the advanced features of the P115. This plug is ideal for those who want to expand their smart home setup without breaking the bank.

Meross Matter Smart Plug Mini - Priced at £49.99 and rated 4.5★, this plug supports Matter, a technology that promises better interoperability between smart devices. While it’s more expensive, it also offers compatibility with Apple HomeKit, which can be a major plus for Apple users. However, the higher price tag might not justify the additional features for everyone. Consider this option if you use Apple products extensively and want future-proofing for your smart home.

Efergy Elite Classic 4.0 in-Home Energy Monitor - A bit different from the others, this energy monitor is priced at £79.95 and rated 3.9★. While it doesn’t function as a smart plug, it offers in-depth energy monitoring for your entire home, allowing you to identify which devices use the most energy. The main drawback is its higher price and lack of smart control features. This is best for users who want a comprehensive view of their energy consumption rather than individual device control.
