Matter smart plugs don’t get much more affordable than this: TP-Link 3-pack for under $19

1 week ago 9

Folks not interested in the high-end Matter over Thread Eve model we featured this morning can save far more with this discounted 3-pack of TP-Link Tapo Matter Smart Plug Minis at $18.87. Shipping is free for Prime members or in orders over $35. This set originally debuted at $55 but started off the year with a regular price closer to $27. While it has been stair-stepping down in price since May, today’s on-page coupon offer knocks an additional $3 off to deliver the lowest price we have tracked. All things considered, at just over $6 per plug, this is among the lowest prices you’ll find on smart outlets with Matter support from a trusted brand. 

With Matter permeating the smart home space around every corner, customers are no longer forced to pay the premium on HomeKit-specific gear or choose one team (ecosystem) or the other nearly as much. Not only does the Matter standard make taking control of various elements of your smart home more convenient, but it is also starting to usher in some seriously low prices on gear that works across the four major smart home platforms (Apple Home, Amazon Alexa, Google Home and Samsung SmartThings), as exemplified perfectly by today’s featured deal. 

These TP-Link Tapo Matter smart plugs deliver all of the usual features you would want/expect from any good smart plug – something that doesn’t hog the entire outlet, scheduling and timer options, and smartphone/voice control – alongside complete Matter support to play nicely with the rest of the supported gear in your setup. 

Turn electronics on and off remotely, setup schedules to reduce energy consumption, and the ability to control everything with your voice assistant of choice are just some of the highlights here. 

With Matter, users are no longer tied to specific platforms and works with all certified smart home platforms, such as Apple Home, Amazon Alexa, Google Home and Samsung SmartThings. You can control all your smart home devices from a single app, reducing the need for multiple apps for different devices. All Matter-certified devices in your local area network (LAN) will work smoothly even when your home internet goes offline. Matter allows effective communication directly between devices, without the need for a specific ‘forwarding’ device. For example, a Matter smart switch or sensor can turn on/off a Matter bulb directly without being connected to a cloud service, or other specific action. Once configured, communication and control between Matter devices can be achieved directly on the local network.
