TP-Link Tapo P304M Smart Power Strip
- Wi-Fi
- Matter
Verified September 2026
At roughly thirty pounds it undercuts four separate Tapo P110 mini plugs, which cost more combined for the same four-socket count, while using one wall socket instead of four — the better buy for a media unit, desk setup or entertainment cluster where devices sit side by side rather than scattered. It is a proper UK extension lead: 260mm long with a 1.5m cable, BS1363 sockets with child-safe shutters, each switched independently with its own status LED. One catch a few retailer listings get wrong: there are no USB ports on this model, confirmed by TP-Link's own spec sheet and independent reviews — AC sockets only.
In Home Assistant
| Control | Type | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Socket 1-4 | Toggle (x4) | Switch each socket independently |
| Power / Energy / Current / Voltage | Sensor | Per-strip metering — only via the tplink integration; Matter pairing drops these entirely |
The tplink integration adds four independent socket switches plus per-strip power, energy, current and voltage sensors; pairing over Matter instead only exposes the four switches with zero power data, and firmware below 1.0.9 had no Matter energy support at all. A confirmed open issue also means the strip's parent name doesn't carry from the Tapo app, so Matter-imported entities land as generic unnamed_p304m_* until renamed in HA.
