Energy Gadget Drops to £5 After Price Cap Hike

Tapo P110 smart plugs, which track electricity usage of household appliances, have dropped to an effective price of £5 for a two-pack after a price cap hike by Ofgem. The plugs, usually priced at £23.99, are now available for £15 through a sale, but stacking the deal with cashback site TopCashback brings the cost down to £5.28.

How the Deal Works

New TopCashback members can claim a £15 sign-up bonus, which when combined with cashback on the purchase, effectively reduces the price to £5.28 for the duo pack. The cashback is tracked to the user's Earnings page within seven days of purchase.

The plugs allow users to monitor real-time energy usage and running costs of appliances, as well as control devices remotely via the Tapo app. They are compatible with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant for voice control.

User Feedback

One shopper described the plugs as “ideal for those who want to keep track of electricity,” adding that they appreciate seeing how much electricity products use and the smart timer settings. Another user noted easy setup and integration with Alexa, stating, “The app works well, and shows energy use which is handy to know.”

A third reviewer highlighted the security benefit: “Schedules and timers work perfectly even when you're not home. The energy monitoring is amazing! You can see exactly how much power was used when, and how much is being used live.” However, they noted that the physical button may be hidden if a large plug is placed next to it.

Alternative Options

For those seeking a cheaper alternative purely for monitoring, a plug-in screen monitor from LOWENERGIE costs £11.79 at Amazon. The Philips Hue smart plug, priced at £47.98 for two at Argos, also offers energy monitoring and works with Google Assistant.
