Sockets that can be controlled via WiFi are probably the cheapest way to get started with smart homes. From about 10 euros you can start making your household a little smarter. Today I'm starting another small test series "Smart switch and rule" in which I will test different W-Lan sockets and similar products.
The range of W-Lan sockets is now very large, almost unmanageable. For the time being, I got 3 different W-Lan sockets to test to give you an initial overview of the offer. As the first test candidate, I chose the Tapo Nano P115 from T-Link. The well-known manufacturer should guarantee high quality and long-lasting support or firmware updates.

Stromverbrauch der TP-Link Tapo P115 Steckdose

Der Energieverbrauch einer smarten Steckdose ist ein wichtiger Faktor, insbesondere wenn sie dauerhaft im Einsatz ist. In meinem Test habe ich folgende Werte für die TP-Link Tapo Nano P115 gemessen:

Diese Werte zeigen, dass der Eigenverbrauch der Tapo P115 sehr gering ist. Selbst wenn die Steckdose rund um die Uhr im Standby-Modus läuft, summiert sich der Verbrauch auf etwa 5,26 kWh pro Jahr, was weniger als 2 Euro an Stromkosten entspricht (bei einem angenommenen Strompreis von 40 Cent/kWh).

Trotz des minimalen Verbrauchs bietet die Steckdose eine detaillierte Energieüberwachung, mit der sich angeschlossene Geräte optimal kontrollieren lassen. Weitere Infos dazu findest du in den FAQs weiter unten.

The smart socket in use

Since the socket has very compact dimensions, it does not block an adjacent slot even in multiple plugs. With a maximum load of 3680 watts, you can add a lot here. In my case, I'm far from that, since I've only switched them in front of my Echo Studio loudspeakers to measure their consumption.

The Tapo P115 can be switched via the app, voice control or via the small switch on the socket. All three variants worked immediately and without problems in the test. The response time is very fast.

The app offers a number of functions for control: The control is really very easy and the measured values ​​are displayed clearly and in detail.

Sprachsteuerung der TP-Link Tapo P115 – Erfahrungen & Kritik

Die TP-Link Tapo P115 lässt sich problemlos mit Amazon Alexa und Google Assistant verbinden. Sobald du den Tapo-Skill in der Alexa-App aktivierst und dein Konto verknüpfst, werden die Tapo-Steckdosen automatisch erkannt und integriert.

Funktioniert meist zuverlässig – aber nicht immer ohne Verzögerung

Grundsätzlich klappt die Steuerung per Sprachbefehl meist ohne Probleme. Geräte lassen sich über Alexa oder Google Assistant einfach ein- und ausschalten, ohne dass die App geöffnet werden muss.

Allerdings habe ich in meinem Test immer wieder Verzögerungen bei der Steuerung über Alexa festgestellt. In seltenen Fällen wurde der Sprachbefehl gar nicht ausgeführt, bis ich die Steckdose einmal über die Tapo-App manuell angesteuert habe. Danach funktionierte die Sprachsteuerung wieder zuverlässig.

Fazit zur Sprachsteuerung

✅ Einfache Integration in Alexa & Google Assistant
✅ Meist zuverlässige Steuerung per Sprachbefehl
❌ Gelegentliche Verzögerungen oder Verbindungsprobleme mit Alexa
❌ Manuelle Steuerung über die App manchmal erforderlich, um die Sprachsteuerung wieder zu aktivieren
 

Trotz dieses kleinen Kritikpunkts bleibt die Sprachsteuerung ein praktisches Feature, das die Bedienung der Steckdose im Alltag deutlich erleichtert.

The test verdict - rating

W-Lan socket with many functions at a reasonable price.
There is not really much to complain about with the TP-Link Tapo Nano P115. The setup is very easy, but requires registration and the application is also very intuitive. The circuit works reliably and quickly. I see the compact design and the additional functions such as the presence simulation and, above all, the consumption measurement as extremely positive.

Therefore, there is also an absolute buy recommendation from me.
