Is that me, or the status of this thread has changed to accepted?

Good catch @svcadg11 , the Accepted status is indeed new, next step is Implemented.

Must be around the corner, after all the Matter 1.3 firmware is already certified.

  @svcadg11 

another 12 months wait for status to become implemented?

Well!... I chased up the email i've been having with support and received this today:

We have confirmed with both our R&D team and the third-party partner that the firmware is currently in the final stages of testing and is about to enter the release process.

so! i genuinly thing it will be happening. I've set all my plugs to be a manual firmware update so I can do my own testing etc when its released.

standing by.......

Any updates to this one?

Very keen to get the energy monitoring via Matter in Home Assistant

  @MarkCarline 

Still standing by here as well. If it has been released then the progressive roll out is being very slow.

As someone relatively new to this discussion I am not jaded yet and don't have the same sense of desperation that many others seem to have. However, it does seem to be a sad state of affairs that there is just no community liaison in TP-Link's own community threads.

As a company that has decided to support open standards such as Matter, you would think that they would get behind it's adoption. We could be forgiven for thinking that they are having misgivings about this and not prioritising investment in it, or at least always treating Matter support items as 2nd or 3rd level in software roadmap planning. Perhaps they need to restate their intentions of support to prevent users just moving away to other brands.

So I've all but given up on TP-Link and returned mine.

looking now for an alternative (as in a product that's not misleading) - has anyone tried the new Meross matter plugs? They look similar form than these.

Further to my last just reading the home assistant forums and Meross has indeed updated their plugs to support energy reading in matter.

atleast we all have an alternative now!

See TP-Link, aint hard is it?

vote with your wallets people!

  @Cammm 

yeah, seen the meross ones in Aussie form on their website last night... 2 for forty three dollarydoos... cheaper than the TPLink ones I bought from Bunnings... bargain.

Think I'll get myself some shortly...

  @DoinitSideways 

I have a four of the Meross. Work fine, but don't like the size of them. Can't fit anything in the adjacent outlet. 
 

Hopefully TP-Link get their act together soon

Edit: oh nice, I see they have a smaller one now. The MSS315 AU

  @Grubsy 

Just seen your edit, so yeah, they are identically sized to the TPLink ones... so bonus.
