- Do I need a hub to use these plugs?
- No. They connect directly over 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, and Matter lets them join Apple Home, Google Home, Alexa or SmartThings without a separate hub.
- Will they work with Apple Home and Siri?
- Yes. Matter support means they pair with Apple Home and respond to Siri, as well as Alexa and Google Assistant.
- How many plugs come in the box?
- Three plugs. The $49.99 Best Buy price as of November 7, 2026 works out to about $16.66 per plug.
- Can I use them on a 5 GHz network?
- No. The plugs only join 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, so a 5 GHz-only network will fail during setup.
- Do they track energy use?
- No. This Mini model switches power on and off but does not report energy consumption; Tapo's energy-monitoring plugs cost more.
- Is $49.99 a good price for the three-pack?
