Plugs & Outlets that work with Home Assistant: the 11 that do, and what each one can't do

11 of the 20 plugs & outlets in our library work with Home Assistant: 9 for everything they list, and 2 with an exception named on each. Every one of them is listed here with the catch that applies on Home Assistant specifically — the setup it needs, what stays stuck in the vendor's own app, and where Home Assistant's automations can't reach a capability the device has.

Work for everything they list

1. TP-Link Tapo P125M Mini Smart Wi-Fi Plug (Matter)

   Works through Home Assistant's official Matter integration, with no Thread border router needed for a Wi-Fi Matter plug. Home Assistant's own TP-Link integration also lists the P125M by model and controls it locally, but it asks for your TP-Link cloud username and password, and some firmware needs Third-Party Compatibility turned on in the Tapo app first. TP-Link itself does not list Home Assistant.

2. THIRDREALITY Smart Plug Gen2 (Power Metering)

   The vendor documents this platform in the most detail, and is specific about which stacks: energy monitoring is supported on Home Assistant, and the restore-after-power-loss setting is scoped tighter still — 'Currently THIRDREALITY Hub Gen2 and Home Assistant (ZHA and ZigBee2MQTT) support this function.' A standard Zigbee device on a local coordinator, with no vendor cloud in the path.

3. Tapo Smart Wi-Fi In-Wall Outlet, Matter, Energy Monitoring (P210M)

   Confirmed from Home Assistant's side, not TP-Link's: Home Assistant's core TP-Link integration lists 'P210M' by name among supported Tapo devices and 'connects locally to the devices without going via the TP-Link cloud'. Two caveats from the same documentation: a newer Tapo device 'will require your TP-Link cloud username and password to authenticate for local access', and some firmware versions 'require explicit activation of third-party integrations before they allow access from Home Assistant'. A second route also exists, Home Assistant's Matter integration, since the device is Matter-certified. It avoids TP-Link credentials but requires a Matter server, and TP-Link's firmware note of 28 August 2026 for hardware version 1.6 names Home Assistant as one of two apps where it has verified energy readings over Matter.

4. Tapo Smart Wi-Fi Outdoor Plug, Matter (P400M)

   Worth reading closely, because the obvious route is the wrong one. Home Assistant's official TP-Link integration — which does list the Kasa HS300 and the Tapo P210M by name — does NOT list P400M, so the vendor-specific local integration is not the path here. What is: Home Assistant's own Matter integration, which accepts any Matter-certified device, and TP-Link certifies this one as Matter. That makes the route protocol-level rather than brand-level, and it needs Home Assistant's Matter server; no TP-Link cloud credentials are involved. Recorded full because on/off is the whole function, with the mechanism named so nobody wastes an evening in the wrong integration.

5. Eve Energy (4th generation, Matter)

   Listed by Eve as a supported platform with native energy monitoring; connects via Matter with a Thread border router (Eve names HA Green/Yellow/Connect ZBT-1/ZBT-2).

6. Enbrighten In-Wall Z-Wave Tamper-Resistant Smart Outlet (58449)

   The strongest cell on this record, and it comes from Home Assistant rather than from Jasco. Home Assistant's own Jasco page says Jasco is a member of the Works with Home Assistant partner programme for its Z-Wave products, that Jasco Z-Wave devices work locally through Home Assistant's Z-Wave support (a Z-Wave stick is required), and that status updates arrive instantly. Two practical costs: you supply the Z-Wave stick, and Home Assistant marks the integration as community maintained. Scoped carefully: Home Assistant's statement is about Jasco's Z-Wave products as a class rather than about item 58449 by name, but it describes a standards-based path that any certified Z-Wave device takes, which is why this cell is not left unknown.

7. GE Cync Outdoor Smart Plug, Matter (CPLGOD2BLMS)

   GE does not name Home Assistant anywhere, and it does not need to: this cell rests on Home Assistant's own documentation, which says Home Assistant acts as a Matter controller and that Matter products run locally and allow local control without any internet connection or cloud service. This plug holds a current Matter certificate, so the route is the standard rather than anything GE builds. What it costs you: Home Assistant's Matter server, which its own documentation says is supported only on Home Assistant's own operating system, and a phone with the Home Assistant app to do the commissioning. No Cync account is involved in the Matter path.

8. Kasa Smart Wi-Fi Power Strip, 6 Outlets (HS300)

   The one ecosystem where this strip is NOT cloud-bound, and it is confirmed from Home Assistant's side rather than TP-Link's: Home Assistant's core TP-Link integration lists HS300 by name and 'connects locally to the devices without going via the TP-Link cloud'. Three caveats from the same documentation, all of which bite in practice: newer Kasa firmware requires your TP-Link cloud username and password to authenticate for LOCAL access; some firmware versions 'require explicit activation of third-party integrations' in the Kasa app before Home Assistant can connect at all; and for power strips specifically, 'the energy monitoring state of Kasa power strip child plugs is only updated every 60 seconds', so per-outlet energy readings lag by up to a minute rather than streaming live.

9. Kasa Smart Wi-Fi Outdoor Plug (EP40)

   The strongest answer on this record, and it rests on the model name rather than on a guess about the device class: Home Assistant's own TP-Link documentation lists EP40 explicitly among the devices it supports. Home Assistant states the integration talks to the plug on your own network rather than through TP-Link's service, which means it keeps working when the internet does not. The catch is the sign-in: Home Assistant also states that newer Kasa devices need your TP-Link account email and password to authenticate for that local access, so a local connection still begins with a vendor account.
