What we like
- Energy reporting is included in the certified Matter 1.3 path
- Direct Wi-Fi connection needs no brand hub or Thread border router
- 48 mm round face is designed to leave neighboring sockets usable
What could be better
- 10 A/2300 W limit trails cheaper 16 A alternatives
- Costs €5.05 more than the current Tapo P110M listing
- LEDVANCE does not document energy-data visibility per controller
A useful meter in an ordinary-looking plug
This LEDVANCE plug gets the important basics right. It switches one Type E/F outlet over 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, needs no separate hub and measures the connected load. Its current Matter 1.3 certification includes energy reporting, so the meter is not confined to a private LEDVANCE protocol.
The round face is 48 mm across, and LEDVANCE says it does not interfere with neighboring sockets. That makes it a reasonable fit for a lamp, television setup or desk where the load stays comfortably inside the 10 A limit. The SMART+ app adds scheduling and its own consumption view, although those app features should not be confused with identical controls in every Matter platform.
Tapo wins the arithmetic
LEDVANCE's German store listed the white single plug at €17.95 on September 21. The current Tapo P110M EU listing was €12.90 before delivery. More importantly, Tapo rates that plug for 16 A/3680 W general or resistive loads, while LEDVANCE stops at 10 A/2300 W.
That does not make either plug suitable for every appliance. Both manufacturers publish separate cautions around demanding or heat-producing loads, and LEDVANCE specifically says to disconnect heat-generating devices after use to prevent accidental activation. The practical point is simpler: LEDVANCE asks more money for less electrical headroom. A lamp will not care, but the limitation removes the main reason to pay extra.
Matter energy support still depends on the controller
LEDVANCE explicitly says this model supports its energy meter through Matter 1.3. That is better evidence than a generic promise that the plug is Matter compatible. It still does not guarantee the same live watts, accumulated consumption or history screen in every home app.
Apple Home, Google Home, Alexa and SmartThings are named for the exact product, so ordinary outlet control is on firm ground. LEDVANCE does not publish a controller-by-controller account of the meter, and it does not name Home Assistant for this model. Tapo's current documentation is more useful here because it explicitly identifies Home Assistant and SmartThings for Matter power and energy readings on updated P110M firmware.
Buy it for LEDVANCE, not for the category lead
Choose this plug if you already prefer the SMART+ app, want the matching LEDVANCE range or find the exact model at a meaningful discount. The white unit reviewed here also has black and two-pack siblings, but their identities and prices should be checked separately rather than assumed from this listing.
For a first metering plug in a Schuko home, P110M is the stronger buy today. It is cheaper, has more electrical headroom and makes its third-party energy path clearer. Matterhome has not tested either plug, so this judgment rests on the current specifications, firmware evidence and prices rather than on a reliability or accuracy measurement.
