Buy at OfficeworksThis TP-Link compact smart plug connects to Wi-Fi for remote control of household appliances via the Tapo app. It supports scheduling and timers, works with Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa for voice commands, and includes an Away Mode feature. The design fits into outlets without blocking adjacent sockets.
Features and specifications in this description are as the brand describes them.
The Tapo P100 Mini is a small smart plug designed to add remote control and automation to standard household appliances. Per TP-Link, its compact form factor slots into power outlets without blocking adjacent sockets, making it practical for crowded powerboards. The brand describes scheduling and timer functions as ways to reduce energy waste and boost convenience by automating lights, fans and other devices throughout your home.
The Tapo app lets you control plugged-in appliances from anywhere, and the brand says this offers peace of mind when you are away. Voice control works through Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa, so you can operate devices hands-free. The brand also mentions an Away Mode feature that mimics household activity for added security. TP-Link positions the plug as straightforward to set up and use for anyone wanting to build a connected home.
Before buying, check that your Wi-Fi network supports the 2.4 GHz band, as this is required for connectivity. The plug suits households wanting basic remote control and scheduling of plugged appliances, though it does not offer built-in sensing or energy monitoring features.

Best for: Renters and first-time smart home buyers who want simple app, Alexa or Google Assistant control of a lamp or fan without buying a hub
The Tapo P100 is TP-Link's basic mini smart plug: it sits between a wall socket and an appliance and lets you switch that appliance on and off from the Tapo app, by voice, or on a schedule. TP-Link's Australian product page lists remote on/off control, schedules and timers, scenes, family sharing and an Away Mode that turns connected devices on and off at random to make the house look occupied. It does not measure power use, so it is a switch rather than an energy monitor.
It suits people who want to put a lamp, fan or string of lights on a schedule, or switch it by voice, without an electrician or a hub. Because it simply plugs into an existing socket, it needs no changes to your wiring, which matters in a rental. Skip it if you want to track what an appliance costs to run, if your home is built around Apple Home or Matter, or if your router only offers a 5 GHz network, since The Good Guys lists the plug as 2.4 GHz only.
TP-Link Australia sells the P100 in one-, two- and four-packs and rates it at 220–240 V, 50/60 Hz, with a maximum load of 2300 W / 10 A. Its spec page lists RCM among the certifications and a flame-retardant (UL 94-V0) housing, plus an operating temperature range of 0–35 °C. TP-Link's Australian warranty table puts smart power products on a two-year warranty, and The Good Guys lists a two-year manufacturer's warranty too; TP-Link notes this sits alongside, and does not limit, your rights under the Australian Consumer Law. We saw it listed at The Good Guys (two-pack), Bunnings and Amazon Australia.
Setup uses Bluetooth for pairing, then the plug joins your 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi. TP-Link lists Alexa, Google Assistant and Samsung SmartThings as compatible, and its page mentions local control when the internet is down. For Home Assistant users, the official TP-Link integration lists the P100 as supported and says it talks to devices locally rather than through TP-Link's cloud, but it still asks for your TP-Link account email and password, and some firmware needs third-party access switched on under Tapo Lab in the app.
Running costs: neither TP-Link's product page nor the retailer listings we checked mention a subscription for the plug's features.

I bought this to turn my coffee machine on in the morning on a schedule — it takes a while to heat the group head — and it works perfectly. A lot of smart plugs on the market are either too wide to use both outlets at on ...

Purchased the Tapo smart plug as our pool pump timer had failed. I am able to turn pump on & off remotely & also able to schedule daily times. Setting up Tapo plug was easy with Tapo app, done in Under 5 minutes.

Great product. Seamless connectivity and really easy to use. Fits in well with Tapo cameras already installed. One app to rule them all. I only got two to start with but will definitely buy more.
