6 Best Smart Plugs With Energy Monitoring in 2026

The Tapo P110M combines the cross-platform benefits of Matter with a built-in energy meter. Matter certification means it can work with major smart home platforms regardless of brand, which suits a household that does not want to be tied to one assistant. The energy side offers in-depth statistics and clear visuals so you can see how much a device uses.

The billing feature is what makes the numbers practical. The listing describes integration with billing systems for a clear cost view, both for a single period and over repeated periods. That helps you answer questions such as whether the older fan or the entertainment center is the bigger drain. The trade-off is that the richest energy detail will typically live in the Tapo app, rather than inside Apple Home or Google Home.

Compared with the Tapo P115, the P110M adds Matter, so it is the better pick if you use more than one platform. Compared with the Kasa Matter Smart Plug KP125, it is a close rival, with Tapo emphasizing billing views and Kasa emphasizing a long-running app. We rank it first because it offers the broadest platform support alongside meaningful energy charts.

The Kasa KP125 is Kasa's answer to the Matter plug with energy monitoring. It works with Matter-certified platforms including Apple Home, Amazon Alexa, Google Home and Samsung SmartThings, and it carries a 15A and 1800W maximum rating. The energy feature tracks usage over time so you can see consumption patterns and make informed choices about connected devices.

Like other Matter plugs, it keeps working smoothly across devices on your local network even when your home internet goes down. That makes it a good fit for a plug that controls something you rely on daily, such as a lamp or a fan. The printed 1800W figure also gives you a clear threshold when you check the label on an appliance.

Against the Tapo P110M, the Kasa KP125 relies on a mature app while the Tapo leans on billing views. Against the older Kasa KP115, this model adds Matter, so it works with more than Alexa and Google voice. It is a strong pick for a household that already likes the Kasa app and wants to future-proof. Check that the energy information you want is available in the Kasa app, since Matter itself often does not carry it.

The Tapo P115 is the Wi-Fi monitoring plug in the Tapo family, aimed at people who care about energy numbers more than Matter. It tracks the plug's energy use with easy-to-understand statistics and intuitive charts. A bill estimate feature integrates with billing systems to show cost, whether for a single period or repeated ones.

The feature that sets it apart is smart charging. It can automatically cut power when a connected device reaches the low-battery limit you set, which the listing frames as a way to prevent overcharging. That is useful for a charger or a battery-powered device that sits on the plug overnight. It is a practical add-on, but it depends on how that device behaves, so test it with something you can easily monitor.

Compared with the Tapo P110M, the P115 lacks Matter, so it is tied more tightly to the Tapo app and the assistants it supports. Compared with the Kasa Smart Plug Mini KP115, the Tapo adds the charging cutoff and clearer billing views. If you want the monitoring benefits without paying for Matter, this is the better value choice. It suits households committed to one voice assistant.

The Govee monitoring plug reports real-time power, current and voltage in the Govee Home app. Seeing all three readings gives you more detail than a single wattage number, which helps if you want to understand how a device behaves when it starts or idles. Connecting by Wi-Fi and Bluetooth lets you reach the plug even when you are near it and the network is acting up.

The four-pack format suits a home with several devices to measure, and voice control works through Alexa and Google Assistant. You can leave a plug on the TV cluster, one on a space-hungry fan and one on a coffee maker, then compare them in a single app. The caveat is that this plug does not use Matter, so it stays within the Govee Home app and its supported assistants.

Compared with the Tapo P115, the Govee shows more raw electrical data but less emphasis on billing views. Compared with the Emporia, it comes as a multi-pack and leans on Bluetooth for setup. It is a good choice if you like to see the numbers rather than a cost estimate. For most people that depth is nice to have, but not essential.

The Kasa Smart Plug Mini KP115 is the straightforward Wi-Fi monitoring plug in Kasa's range. It works with Alexa and Google Home, supports app control from anywhere, and requires 2.4GHz Wi-Fi for setup. The monitoring is part of the model name and sits alongside the usual on and off controls.

Setup is described as plug in, open the Kasa app and follow the instructions, which is a gentle experience if you have not used a smart plug before. The app handles scheduling as well as monitoring, so a single screen shows both the schedule and what the device has used. It is a dependable plug for a household that wants to watch a lamp, fan or small electronic without learning a new platform.

The limitation is that it is the older style of plug without Matter, so the Kasa Matter Smart Plug KP125 is the better long-term pick for mixed households. Compared with the Tapo P115, it offers fewer extras such as charging cutoffs. Its strength is a calm, well-known app that many buyers already trust. For single-ecosystem homes that is enough.

The Emporia Smart Plug is a 15A Wi-Fi outlet that controls lights, fans, lamps, humidifiers and other appliances that plug into 120V outlets. It works with Alexa and Google Home, and it includes built-in on and off scheduling for automatic switching. The listing positions it as a way to stay on top of the energy your devices and appliances use and cut down on waste.

It is a solid choice if you want a plug that looks beyond one device. Emporia is known for energy products, so its plugs fit a household that is thinking about its overall power use. The weak point of the listing is that it gives fewer technical details than the Tapo or Kasa plugs, so check the box for exact figures.

Compared with the Govee monitoring plug, the Emporia comes with an energy-focused brand identity and a simpler feature description. Compared with the Tapo P110M, it does not advertise Matter. It suits a person who prefers a company focused on energy rather than a general smart home brand. For many that focus is the deciding point.
