A sensible upgrade for a desk or media shelf where each device should switch on a schedule or by voice. Setup needs the lower frequency Wi-Fi band on your router, so check that before ordering.

Overview
Smart home owners get a surge protecting power strip whose AC outlets each switch on and off from the Tapo app or a voice assistant, plus USB ports that stay powered. It joins Matter ecosystems over Wi-Fi and reports how much energy plugged in devices use.
Per outlet control sets it apart: a lamp, a fan and a router can each run on their own schedule from one strip. Energy readings help spot devices that draw power on standby. On the downside, the surge protection has no published joule rating, and the USB ports cannot be switched.
Who it's for
Desks, entertainment shelves and workbenches with a cluster of devices gain the most, since each outlet can be named and controlled. Homes whose network offers no lower band option, or people who want switchable USB charging, will be frustrated.
Pros and cons
- Each AC outlet switches independently
- Works across Matter, Alexa, Siri and Google
- Energy monitoring in the Tapo app
- Always-on USB for phone charging
- USB ports cannot be turned off remotely
- Surge joule rating not listed
- Requires the lower frequency Wi-Fi band
- Short cord limits placement
Performance notes
Control runs through the Tapo app over Wi-Fi, so response depends on the home network and the signal where the strip is placed. Matter lets several voice platforms address the outlets directly. Energy figures come from the strip's built-in monitoring, which helps find heavy standby draws.
