 The expected time between a new spec release and devices implementing it is 6-12 months, so as much as we wanted the feature the same day the spec released, the market just doesn't move that fast, not even in brands specialized in Matter.

I personally was more looking for *any* kind of response from TP-Link that this new firmware for Matter 1.3 Spec Power monitoring would be even released.  Based on the response from tplink support and an absence of anything from them in this thread we can't be 100% sure that this will even happen.

 

I (and am sure many others) would buy more of these if we could get something official from tplink saying that this is in the pipeline (would even be nicer if we could help beta test (which I have offered).

@MarkCarline Absolutely, first reply is actually from TP-Link saying it takes time and stay tuned so that means they have nothing else to share.

 

My recommendation as always is buying things for the features they have at purchase time and not for promises or roadmaps, those change everytime.

 

Don't get me wrong though, I'm expecting the Matter 1.3 update of the P110M I got back when Matter 1.0 didn't support it. But, if I were to buy a Matter smart plug now I would wait for one supporting Matter 1.3 (and implementing it correctly, if it's going to report the reading every minute it's useless for some automations, a good smart plug should notify of significant power changes instantly).

I would like energy monitoring to pass to Home Assistant so I can use this feature that was advertised. Thank you!

Bought this energy monitor thinking it supported Matter. It doesn't. So I ended up here.

 

Add me to this list of complainers.

 

We can return them for a refund at least.
