The European basic Tapo plug
Tapo P100M is the small Matter plug to look at when the Tapo P125M page is the wrong physical format. It uses Wi-Fi, not Thread, and it does not require a Tapo hub for the Matter path.
The tradeoff is that it is a basic switch. TP-Link's German page lists the regional load rating and Matter support, but this is not the plug to buy if power readings are part of the automation.
Setup path
Put it on a reliable 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network, then pair it with the Matter code in the ecosystem where you want the outlet to live. The Tapo app remains useful for firmware, schedules, and any TP-Link-specific maintenance.
No Thread border router is involved. That is convenient for a Wi-Fi home, but it also means the plug does nothing to strengthen Thread sensors or locks nearby.
What to check
The physical and electrical checks matter first. Make sure the regional plug body fits your outlet and that the listed load rating is appropriate for the appliance.
Use P100M for lamps, decorations, fans, and small appliances. Skip it for heaters, heavy motors, or anything where you need energy history.
Should you buy it?
Buy Tapo P100M Europe when you want a cheap regional Matter plug for on/off control. Choose Tapo P110M Europe if metering matters, and choose the U.S. Tapo P125M page only when you are actually buying the North American plug.
Best for
- European outlets where a basic Matter plug is enough
- Lamps and small appliances that only need on/off control
- Tapo users who want Matter sharing without a separate hub
Skip if
- You need energy monitoring from the plug
- Your 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi is unreliable at the outlet
- You are shopping for a U.S. or Canada plug format
