GHome Smart Plug Mini
Score: 75/100Rankings
The TP-Link Kasa HS110 smart plug offers 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi control, real-time energy monitoring and a slim stackable form factor. Its lack of 5 GHz Wi-Fi and a maximum 15 A load may restrict high-power devices. Best suited for energy-conscious homeowners who want detailed power insights and broad voice-assistant integration.
GHome Smart Plug Mini delivers energy monitoring, voice control, and IFTTT integration in a tiny footprint without requiring a hub. Its 2.4 GHz-only Wi-Fi and 10 A load limit restrict use with high-power devices. Perfect for cost-conscious households needing compact plugs with power usage tracking.
