At the end of 2023, I reviewed the TP-Link Kasa KE100 radiator valve and had very mixed feelings towards it. It is fantastic value for money, but at the time, it was not compatible with the TP-Link Tapo H100 hub, and I went on to criticise the mess of Kasa and Tapo interoperability. Recently, things…

I will preface this by saying I love TP-Link networking and smart home products. I personally use a large number of the Kasa and Tapo smart plugs. The Tapo P110 (and now the P110M) are the best smart plugs on the market due to their affordable nature and energy monitoring. I have also recently invested…
I recently wrote a post on ways to try and reduce your electricity bills. One of the main tools I have used in identifying power-hungry devices is the now-discontinued TP-Link Kasa HS110. It is a superb smart plug, and have used several of them in combination with the KP105 to monitor and control some of…
