Today I am testing the second smart W-LAN socket from TP-LINK in my test series "Switch and manage smart". I'm not quite sure yet whether to call the Tapo Mini P110 the big or little brother of the Tapo Nano P115.
The type designation is lower (P110 < P115), the additional designation and thus apparently the design is larger (mini > nano). From performance values they are identical. Why the price for the mini socket is a lot higher than the price for the nano is not entirely clear to me (currently around €22 vs. around €17). But apart from that, let me take a closer look at the Mini P110.

Set up the Smart Plug

Setting up the TP-Link socket is identical to the step-by-step instructions for the P115 (here for the test). If you already have the app installed, setup takes less than a minute.

With the WiFi sockets from TP-Link, the installation process works really quickly and without any problems. To add a new device, click the (+) icon in the top right, select the appropriate model, there is no automatic detection here, and follow the instructions on the screen.

The smart socket in use

The functions are identical to the functions of the Tapo Nano P115. The control is really very easy and the measured values are displayed clearly and in detail.

The only obvious difference is the shape. This is rectangular on the Tapo Mini P110 and therefore larger than on the Tapo Nano P115. It can also happen that adjacent sockets are blocked. However, the Tapo Mini P110 is quite narrow, so that the neighboring sockets could remain free with many plug strip models. A power strip with sockets arranged at an angle (see picture) is not optimal here.

The test verdict - rating

Very good smart socket from TP-Link - but more expensive than the Nano P115
I can also give a purchase recommendation for the TP-Link Tapo Mini P110 without a guilty conscience. Functions and performance are identical to the slightly cheaper TP-Link Tapo Nano P115 (here in the test / here at Amazon). Due to the lower price and the more compact design, I would equip my other sockets with the Nano P115. A small, very low consumption advantage lies with the Tapo Mini P110 - it consumes only 0.4 watts in the OFF state in contrast to the 0.6 watts of the Nano P115 - but I think this fact is almost negligible.
