TP-Link Tapo P304M Smart Wi-Fi Power Strip - 4 Outlets, Matter
The TP-Link Tapo P304M Smart Wi-Fi Power Strip is a four-outlet, Matter-certified extension lead designed for anyone who wants to bring their home appliances into a modern smart home ecosystem without being locked into a single platform. It combines energy monitoring, surge protection, and voice control to give households a clearer picture of their electricity use and more convenient day-to-day management of connected devices.
Why this product
Matter certified for broad ecosystem compatibility
It carries Matter certification, meaning it can be set up and controlled through the Alexa app, Google Home, Apple Home, or SmartThings — whichever ecosystem you already use.
Energy monitoring with bill estimation
Set your local electricity rate and it will estimate your energy bills, presenting consumption data in straightforward visualisations so you can spot which appliances are costing most.
Surge protection up to 6 kV
Built-in surge protection rated at UOC 6kV shields sensitive electronics from sudden voltage spikes that can occur during thunderstorms.
Zero-crossing detection extends relay life
This technology addresses relay contact welding — a leading cause of smart plug failure — improving long-term reliability and load capacity.
Voice and remote control via app
Control each outlet individually by voice through Amazon Alexa, Apple Siri, or Google Assistant, or switch devices on and off remotely from anywhere using the Tapo app.
Flame-retardant PC housing
The enclosure is made from PC (V-0, UL 94) flame-retardant material, meeting a recognised flammability standard for electrical enclosures.

Best for
- Multi-platform smart home users who want a single device that works across Alexa, Google Home, Apple Home, and SmartThings without extra hubs.
- Energy-conscious households who want to monitor and estimate electricity costs for specific appliances rather than the whole home.
- Users with sensitive electronics — AV equipment, computers, or home office gear — that benefit from surge protection rated at UOC 6kV.
- Anyone who wants scheduling and remote control to automate devices like lamps, fans, or chargers without being at home.
- Buyers prioritising reliability, as zero-crossing detection directly addresses relay contact welding, a known failure mode in smart plugs.
Trade-offs
- 5 GHz-only Wi-Fi networks: it connects only to 2.4 GHz networks, so environments without a 2.4 GHz band available cannot use it.
- High-draw appliances above 13A / 3250W: the maximum load is 13A and 3250W, which excludes some industrial or high-wattage heating equipment.
- Non-Matter legacy ecosystems only: users who rely solely on older proprietary smart home platforms not listed (Matter, Alexa, Google, Apple, SmartThings) may find integration limited.
- Outdoor or high-humidity environments: operating humidity is rated to 90% RH non-condensing and operating temperature to 35 ºC, making it unsuitable for outdoor or industrial settings.
Matter Certified – Integrate Matter-certified Tapo devices with other Matter end products into your preferred ecosystem.
Energy Monitoring - Set your electricity rate to estimate your energy bills, offers more comprehensive insights into home appliances' power consumption with more intuitive and straightforward data visualizations.
Surge Protection – Surge protection shields sensitive electronics and appliances from sudden power surges that can occur during thunderstorms.
Zero-Crossing Detection – Addresses relay contact welding, a key issue in smart plug failures, improves product reliability and load capacity.
Voice Control – Manage your smart plug with voice commands via Amazon Alexa, Apple Siri, or Google Assistant.
Remote Control – Instantly turn connected devices on/off from wherever you are through the Tapo app.
Schedule – Preset a schedule to automatically manage devices.
Tapo offers users multiple options to simplify configuration experiences. Use Bluetooth to easily onboard the the smart power strip with the Tapo app. Users can also set up Tapo P304M by scanning the included code with any Matter-compatible app, such as the Alexa app, Google Home app, and Apple Home app.
