Implemented Tapo P110M update for Matter 1.3
With the new matter 1.3 support being released containing support for energy monitoring devices like the P110M, when will we see the firmware update support for the new matter standard? I assume that it is planned.
The current matter firmware for the P110M doesn't account for the new 1.3 standard. The P110M being advertised as both an energy monitoring device and matter compatible, there's a huge gap here at the moment because without the new matter standard update; the P110M is just a smart relay.

@Wayne-TP this holding back because of home assistant is seriously, seriously short sighted. Home assistant is an open source community, and can't develop support for something without a device that exposes the right attributes. (No one has access to pre-release hardware
i guarantee you, the nanosecond you release firmware, someone will update to support.

@MarkCarline They just have outdated information:
- Home Assistant supports it since version 2024.10, it was even explicitly announced (won't let me link it) that you could use smart plugs with Matter 1.3 energy monitoring in the energy dashboard and they tested the feature with another brand.
- SmartThings, also in early October, updated the stock Edge drivers that handle Matter smart plugs to account for the standard power measurement attribute of Matter 1.3. For anyone interested the source code is here and you can see it subscribes to the ActivePower attribute and exposes the value to the platform to use in the user interface or automations.
These two platforms expose the energy data to the user and if Tapo launched the firmware update it would work as expected in them.
Then there are platforms that internally support it but only for developers, like Google Home for instance. The platform is certified for Matter 1.3 and the Google Home API supports the active power attribute, but it is not exposed to the user and cannot be used in automations either until they create a user interface for that and add support in the automation engine.

@Wayne-TP Thanks so much for this response. There is a thread over on the HA forum I have linked / quoted what you said so somebody over there might be able to chime in and comment on what is needed on the HA side of things.

btw - If you ever need beta testers I would love to help out, I now have around 35x of these devices now (they are great!) and I am sure I could allocate a few for testing.

@Wayne-TP There are at least two platforms with energy support in Matter 1.3. Both SmartThings and Home Assistant support smart plugs with Matter 1.3 energy reporting.
Support was released in early October for both platforms, and I mean full support for the end user, not just the API in ST or the server in HA.

Since the CSA Alliance released the Matter 1.3 standard in May 2024, TP-Link has been actively developing and certifying multiple Tapo models for Matter 1.3 functionality. As this is a new standard framework, adaptation will take some time. If all goes smoothly, we anticipate releasing firmware that supports Matter 1.3 by the end of 2024.
Of course, the implementation of various features under the Matter 1.3 standard requires both Matter devices and Matter platforms to be fully adapted. Based on the information we currently have, there is no platform that supports energy monitoring functionality under the Matter 1.3 standard yet.
We have noticed that some users have mentioned that Home Assistant now supports Matter 1.3. However, as we have learned, Home Assistant has only upgraded to the Matter 1.3 SDK development framework, which allows other developers to create Matter 1.3 functionalities on the platform. They've not yet implemented the specific plug power monitoring feature included in the Matter 1.3 standard. The new device types and advanced features defined in the Matter 1.3 standard will need to be gradually adapted based on demand.

any updates?
We are now up to matter 1.4 spec.
I own some KP125M plugs but am awaiting to see some sort of commitment to implementing spec updates, at least where feature parity is involved, before getting more.

@matter13 - no ETA from tp-link at all. Not even a confirmation that it will even happen. 😢

ETA for matter 1.3?

Bought this energy monitor thinking it supported Matter. It doesn't. So I ended up here.
Add me to this list of complainers.
We can return them for a refund at least.
