  • 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi with Bluetooth-assisted setup
  • 10A / 2300W maximum load on the Australian specification
  • Alexa, Google Assistant and Samsung SmartThings support

Main trade-offThis is the switching-focused model rather than the energy-monitoring P110/P110M. TP-Link documents multiple hardware versions, so confirm the Australian hardware revision when matching a retailer listing.

Common questions

Smart plugs buying questions

What should I compare first when choosing smart plugs?

Start with platform and smart-home compatibility and energy monitoring requirements, then use price and secondary features to break close ties.

Should I choose on price alone?

No. Australian Product Guide treats price as a constraint, not a substitute for fit. Verify the current Australian offer and exact variant before buying.

How mature is this Australian Product Guide category?

This is a maintained starter-evidence category. Product identity, freshness and retailer pathways are maintained while deeper specification evidence and decision attributes continue to expand.
