The Matter standard – delivers a unified control experience across the major smart home platforms (Apple HomeKit, Goole Home, Amazon Alexa, and Samsung SmartThings) and the gear that supports it – has been permeating the smart home space for some time now, and TP-Link latest outdoor plug is entering the fray.
The new Tapo P400M Matter-certified Outdoor Smart Plug works alongside the rest of the Matter-supported gear in your setup to create a shared ecosystem of sorts.

Tapo offers users multiple options to simplify configuration experiences. Use Bluetooth to easily onboard the outdoor plug with the Tapo app. Users can also set up Tapo P400M by scanning the included code with any Matter-compatible app, such as the Alexa app, Google Home app, and Apple Home app.

You’ll find the usual array of convenience and power-saving features including both scheduling and Away Mode. Users can turn “on patio lights, string lights, holiday decorations according to…routines and preferences” as well as leverage the ability to automatically turn “devices on and off at different times to give the appearance that someone is home.”
