check the internet more often please before claiming something doesn't exist. I have discovered months ago that Matter 1.3 plugs exist since it works fine on HA using matter. To be fair, I belive tp-link/tapo creates a lot better products than generic tuya rebrand stuff so I am waiting for this too. I have the regular P110 non M and I prefer using these smartplugs the most over others. And I look forward to buying some P110Ms once the new firmware proper is out.

It's funny, turns out that generic Chinese smart plug did not support Matter 1.3 energy reporting. It was using a proprietary custom cluster, just like Eve did, called NeoCluster in HA: https://github.com/home-assistant/core/issues/125868 . So, when I wrote the comment, smart plugs with Matter 1.3 did not exist.

Fast forward to today, there are some certified smart plugs for 1.3 and I believe some Tuya-based ones are now indeed Matter 1.3 compliant although it's impossible to know which ones as it depends on the model and region. Most vendors, including all the known brands, are still not yet updated.

I was going to buy 3 or 4 of these, but I guess I'm having to hold off, until power measuring is available offline. I'll see if I can get Ikea instead for testing.

  @jfilipelcarvalh Yes - I do that today, its very easy.  Just set it up in HA and then "share" the number (then copy/paste it) into Smart things and it works in both HA and Smartthings at the same time.  The only thing we need now is to get energy monitoring in both HA and Smartthings and I understand that is a firmware thing in the plug

I opened a ticket to ask about this, this is what they said....

Thank you for contacting TP-Link support.

Currently, we need to wait for other Matter third-party apps to complete their adaptations concerning the energy monitoring before we provide this feature for these apps. At this time, there is no specific timeline for when this support will be available, and we also do not have a corresponding beta testing plan in place.

Hmm - Doesn't like we're going to get this anytime soon.

May I know which platform are you looking to connect the P110M to? Have they implemented Matter 1.3 for plug devices to support displaying energy data?

I'm sure you already know, few days ago both SmartThings and Home Assistant released the official support for Matter 1.3 smart plugs with power monitoring. SmartThings via a recent update in their drivers and Home Assistant via the 2024.10 software update.

@Riri0 Alright, so there is one generic (uncertified?) plug that indeed reports the power through Matter. Not very representative of the market right now, just look at the list of certified Matter 1.3 smart plugs, a brand I've not heard in my life (HooRii) and Eve, which is certified but the firmware update is not released yet.

Edit: By the way, the context of my message was a user saying that the competitors already had updated their plugs to Matter 1.3 and Tapo was behind. And let's be fair, nobody with certified smart plugs have updated them yet, including Sengled, Meross, WiZ, Eve, Onvis, Ledvance or Shelly to name a few. However, I agree it's about time to release those updates, there's been time to implement and test the feature, hopefully they'll be in the certification process.

TP-Link is incredibly quiet here. The spec has been out for over 3 months, these devices are still being sold as both "energy monitors" and "matter compatible".

Holding out buying anymore of these at the moment because I am worried TP-Link is going to release a P115M or something that supports the energy monitor in matter.
