@RussellMania Me too! I bought a handful of these specifically for power monitoring, after seeing the advertising material "Matter Certified" and "Energy Monitoring".

It's not 2024 anymore, can we get another update?

Since the CSA Alliance released the Matter 1.3 standard in May 2024, TP-Link has been actively developing and certifying multiple Tapo models for Matter 1.3 functionality. As this is a new standard framework, adaptation will take some time. If all goes smoothly, we anticipate releasing firmware that supports Matter 1.3 by the end of 2024.

 

Of course, the implementation of various features under the Matter 1.3 standard requires both Matter devices and Matter platforms to be fully adapted. Based on the information we currently have, there is no platform that supports energy monitoring functionality under the Matter 1.3 standard yet.

 

We have noticed that some users have mentioned that Home Assistant now supports Matter 1.3. However, as we have learned, Home Assistant has only upgraded to the Matter 1.3 SDK development framework, which allows other developers to create Matter 1.3 functionalities on the platform. They've not yet implemented the specific plug power monitoring feature included in the Matter 1.3 standard. The new device types and advanced features defined in the Matter 1.3 standard will need to be gradually adapted based on demand.

See section in red - Any news Wayne on the new date for 2025 ?

Thanks

I've been refreshing this thread for the last few months. I'm surprised at how positive the thread is. I've been holding out to see something by the end of 2024... Without this update, the product seems to be falsely advertised. Looks like I'll have to return mine and make a report to ACCC or Fair Trading.

I just returned 20 plugs because they don't support energy monitoring via Matter. What liars TP-Link are.

Also, updating firmware via Matter is not working in HA and the firmware version does not correspond to reality.
