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.

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.
