Can anyone recommend a reasonably priced Power Monitor?

Amazon is prone to having daily changes on many items.thriftytracey said:
Ah, I wasn't aware that the price changes! I've popped it in the basket and will monitor. Hoping Argos will get some back in stock as well.MattMattMattUK said:The Tapo P110 fluctuates a lot on Amazon, leave it in your basket and keep an eye on it and it will almost certainly drop within the next week, even if just for a day. Mine were £9.99 but had been a lot higher in the days before and weeks after, I got my Mum one a few weeks ago, again at £9.99. If I were you I would wait for Amazon to have stock again as it is currently only in stock with third party sellers.
Sometimes there are multi-packs available on the TAPO 110. I have seven of these in use. Initially, a couple were for monitoring but we needed more for hard-to-reach plugs to turn off standby and linking devices.I am an Independent Financial Adviser (IFA).

Think P110s are up there with air fryers and heated throws as the most in demand items at the moment.Barnsley, South Yorkshire

Since the latest firmware update of the Tapo 110, the dropdown now shows hours instead of watt consumption. Can anyone suggest how i revert it to kw please?0

Good news - Argos now have the Tapo P110, at least in my area. £14.99.1

Mine don't. Have you updated the app as well as the devices? I remember mine was a bit screwed up until I did that.

Is it correct that the resolution of the Tapo is only 0.1 KW so would only register devices that consume more than 100Watts, ie fridges, TV's, and other high power items?0

Heck whether there is a firmware or app update you need to do - straight from the box mine registered to 0.xbut a firmware update shortly after I began using it changed it to showing to 0.xxxnxdmsandkaskdjaqd said:Is it correct that the resolution of the Tapo is only 0.1 KW so would only register devices that consume more than 100Watts, ie fridges, TV's, and other high power items?🎉 MORTGAGE FREE (First time!) 30/09/2016 🎉 And now we go again…New mortgage taken 01/09/23 🏡

As @EssexHebridean said, that used to be the case, but the new firmware update, about 2 weeks ago now, gives energy consumption to the single watt hour. That's a significant improvement to me - although the app is still a bit out of sorts since the upgrade - but they're apparently putting a new firmware update out soon to address these issues.nxdmsandkaskdjaqd said:Is it correct that the resolution of the Tapo is only 0.1 KW so would only register devices that consume more than 100Watts, ie fridges, TV's, and other high power items?1 -
