Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.3.0 Build 230905

The UK version of the P110 prevents the use of other sockets in a multi-gang plug adapter.

 

Sockets in a multi-gang plug adapter are sometimes placed head-to-head, as cables "trail" beneath the plug. The "top-heavy" design of the P110 means using one prevents the use of the opposite socket. For example, using a P110 in sockets A or B prevent the use of sockets C and D respectively.

   |           |

 

   |           |

--  --    --  --

   C        D

 

 

If the P110 design were inverted, so the electronics (i.e. where the power light and tapo logo are) were on the "underside" of the socket, this wouldn't be the case.

 

Thank you for your consideration!

I'm assuming you're saying the Tapo P110, the smart plug, instead of the Tapo T110, the contact sensor?
