TP-Link’s Tapo P304M smart power strip sits in the brand’s everyday smart home range, competing with the likes of Meross and SmartThings compatible strips for controlling multiple devices from one plug. It’s aimed at tidying up a desk or TV unit while giving you app based control over what’s powered on, without swapping every plug for a separate smart socket.
Who is this power strip for?
It suits anyone who wants to manage several gadgets together, for example a router, console and TV, or a home office setup. With Tapo app control you can switch sockets remotely, set routines so equipment turns off overnight, and check you did not leave something running. Voice control support (via common smart assistants) can also help if you already use smart speakers for lights and heating.
- Multiple controllable outlets, useful for grouped setups like a media unit or workstation
- Scheduling and timers, helpful for cutting standby power and keeping routines consistent
