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.

• 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.

• ✓ Works with Amazon Alexa for voice control and app-based setup.
• ✓ Works with Apple Home (Siri) via Matter certification.
• ✓ Works with Google Home and Google Assistant via Matter certification.
• ✓ Works with Samsung SmartThings as a listed third-party platform.
• Note: Requires a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network; it does not support 5 GHz Wi-Fi. Bluetooth is used for initial setup only.
• Note: Rated for 250V~ / 13A input; intended for UK/EU-spec mains power. Verify your local socket standard before purchase.

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.
