But hurry, black friday deals may end soon.
I have been using mine since April. I have had no issues at all. (I may have ordered another plugbank on black friday)
Certainly on the plug version there is the energy monitoring version or the non energy monitoring model which is slightly cheaper, but not so much fun..
Below is the energy usage for my Ultra / Vibelink for November.

I know its a bit sad.
Actually @slartibartfast it was you that put the idea in my head when you reported the power use for the Ultra, I had a look at power consumption meters and came across these plugs, so thanks to you
What watt is Your Vibe doing during deep sleep?
Amp Ultra is around 3W.
Why is it more energy-efficient than Ultra?
Got a link?@Wiimer
You do know that there is a plugbank version of these switches with four outlets?
Can't wait until you find the charge guard (beta) function
Everyone's doing the same thing, aren't they? I'm doing it too.
Tapo P300
304M sorry that's the UK version
I have no ideaThe JP version comes with a USB port. Is this a new product?

Is there no (safety) ground on JP plugs/sockets?
Ah, that's right, sorry @BurnsideFrom what I can see the p300 doesn't have the energy monitoring feature
Yes.Is there no (safety) ground on JP plugs/sockets?
I can also buy a plug with grounding, but JP domestic sockets are 2-pin. There are dedicated 3-pin sockets for air conditioners, refrigerators, and washing machines.
When the Ultra is on standby and the vibelink is on standby it's reporting between 10-11 watts including what the plug uses. I will need to wait until the vibelink goes in to deep sleep. I will let you know

Ah, I see. But what about the Vibelink, Amp Ultra and other Class I devices that expect/need a ground pin (3 prong)?Yes.

(BTW, I also have some Tapo plugs and Tapo lamps)
I should explain: I set the charge guard to 12 watts for 12 minutes as it gives me enough time to see if dinner is ready, have a quick chat to the other half and if dinner is going to be a while I can go back to my room and turn it back on again without waiting for the Ultra to reboot againI shall try it too
The JP version of the WiiM power adapter includes an earth wire. This is connected to the speaker cable to provide an earth connection.
Ok @Wiimer the Ultra is in standby and the Vibelink is in deep sleep and the plug is reporting 5-6 watts including the power used by the plug itself.
I have removed the power lead from the ultra so now it's reporting as <1 watt including the plug. That's as accurate as I can be as I don't have any other way to test it.
