TapoPanel vs Tapo app vs Home Assistant energy dashboards
Choose the right way to monitor Tapo plug energy data depending on how much setup and visibility you need.
TapoPanel
Use TapoPanel when you want live watt readings from Tapo P110, P115, or P110M plugs, and temperature or humidity from Tapo T310 and Tapo T315 sensors, always visible on your computer.
- One compact desktop dashboard for several smart plugs and sensors
- No phone unlock and no app switching
- No Home Assistant server required
Tapo mobile app
The Tapo app is still the right place to set up plugs, manage your TP-Link account, and control devices from your phone.
- Good for installation and schedules
- Useful away from your desk
- Less convenient as an always-on monitor
Home Assistant
Home Assistant is powerful if you want whole-home automation, dashboards, scripts, and integrations beyond Tapo plugs.
- Much broader smart-home platform
- Requires more setup and maintenance
- More than needed for simple real-time power monitoring
