Smart plugs / TP-Link Tapo P110M

Does the TP-Link Tapo P110M work without the cloud?

Partly. It's controlled locally, including by Home Assistant's built-in TP-Link Smart Home integration, but it needs the manufacturer's cloud account or an internet connection for setup or normal use.

Know before you buy

You need a TP-Link cloud account: Home Assistant signs in with your TP-Link username and password, even though control then stays on your network.Source: home-assistant.io/integrations/tplink
Some firmware versions block Home Assistant until you turn on Third-Party Compatibility in the Kasa or Tapo app.Source: home-assistant.io/integrations/tplink

Local control and cloud

Works without the manufacturer's cloud: No
Local control: Yes
Needs custom firmware for local control: No
Matter: —

Verified 28 Sept 2026 by Claude (AI assistant): documentation check, sources quoted per field. Notes: Needs a TP-Link cloud account for the credentials Home Assistant uses; control itself is local. Some firmware requires enabling Third-Party Compatibility in the Kasa or Tapo app before Home Assistant can connect (per HA docs). Matter support and specs not verified. The M suffix suggests Matter, but no reachable source confirmed it. Versions: the regional hardware python-kasa has confirmed; other regional versions may exist but aren't covered.
