TP-Link Tapo P110 UK smart plug with energy monitoring

A 13 A UK smart plug with Wi-Fi and energy monitoring, sold on amazon.co.uk. It shows how much an appliance uses and might show what a balcony kit produces. We couldn’t confirm that it measures energy fed back in, which is exactly what matters for plug-in solar.

Who it suits

For UK households wanting an energy-monitoring plug, on the understanding that export measurement is unconfirmed.

Pros

13 A UK plug.
Wi-Fi and energy monitoring.
Sold singly and in 2- and 4-packs.

Cons

Not confirmed to measure exported energy (reverse direction).
We don’t know whether UK plug-in rules allow a smart plug between the kit and the socket.
UK sockets only.

What it does in a balcony setup

The idea is the same as the Shelly Plug S on the continent: you put it between the kit and the socket to see what the kit delivers. With the P110, though, we haven’t confirmed that it records energy flowing back into your home circuit. If it only measures consumption, it won’t tell you what the kit produces.

What to check

Before buying it for a kit, confirm with TP-Link that it measures in both directions. Check your kit’s manual too: UK rules require a BS 1363 plug with a fuse of 5 A or less and a complete product under IPS v2, and our research doesn’t settle whether a smart plug can sit in between.
