The P110M is a 15A plug that can handle a 1,800W load. It uses Bluetooth to pair with the Tapo mobile app, 2.4GHz Wi-Fi to connect to your home network, and Matter technology to integrate with Alexa, Google, HomeKit, and SmartThings home automation platforms. As with any Matter device, you’ll need to connect the plug to a Matter-enabled controller such as an Apple Home hub, an Amazon Echo Show, a Google Home hub, or a SmartThings hub. The plug also works with IFTTT applets, which means it can integrate with scores of third-party IFTTT-compatible devices, and it supports Alexa, Google, and Siri voice commands. Additionally, the P110M provides energy usage reports that show how much power it is drawing. You can also enter your utility’s power rates to have the app estimate how the plug will affect your monthly bill.

It should be easy to tell what kinds of information companies collect by reading the app’s privacy policy. Unfortunately, the reality isn't so straightforward. "I'm very hesitant to tell consumers to read privacy policies,” remarked Jen Caltrider, the project lead for Mozilla's Privacy Not Included team. "I read privacy policies for a living; they're mind-numbing. People that don't read them for a living don't really stand a chance."
