Model: P210M
An in-wall Matter-over-Wi-Fi outlet with two separately controlled receptacles and Tapo energy monitoring. It requires a neutral wire and qualified installation. Matter setup needs a controller for the chosen ecosystem.

What to know about this device before choosing a connection.
A recommendation is not recorded yet. Compare the requirements below with your home and the capabilities you need.
Two separately controlled receptacles and Tapo app energy monitoring are documented. Product scheduling and Away Mode do not establish the same features through Home Assistant or Google Home. The page lists only two dimension values under a three-axis label; complete dimensions remain unverified. Follow the manufacturer guide for load-specific limits, neutral/ground requirements and installation. The US specification lists a device maximum of 15 A and 1875 W; these are not universal appliance ratings or separate full-load allowances for each receptacle. The US guide gives lower limits for lamps, electronics, fans and motors, including 1/2 HP for a motor/compressor, and excludes EV charging. Follow the exact unit guide. Complete product dimensions remain unverified; outlet-box clearance is not the product size.

The exact P210M US guide requires line, neutral and ground; qualified installation; copper conductors; indoor dry locations. Its 15 A / 1875 W at 125 V entries cover selected resistive loads, with lower limits for other appliances. Consult its Supported Load Types table; this is not a universal rating.

Optional summarizes alternative paths; it does not remove the Matter-controller requirement.
