The older, non-Matter sibling of the P304M: three individually switched sockets plus USB charging. Worth it only if you find it cheaper than the P304M, since the price gap has largely closed. It is a switching strip, not a meter.
What can Home Assistant control on the TP-Link Tapo P300 Smart Power Strip?
| Control | Type | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Socket 1-3 | Toggle (x3) | Switch each socket independently |
Supported by Home Assistant's built-in tplink integration, which exposes each socket as a switch. No Matter support, so it reaches other platforms via Alexa, Google or Home Assistant. Do not expect per-socket energy data.
