TP-Link Tapo P125M Smart Plug (Matter)
~C$19
The TP-Link Tapo P125M is a compact Matter-compatible smart plug that works with Apple HomeKit, Google Home, Alexa, and Samsung SmartThings — all natively via Matter. No proprietary app or account required (though the Tapo app adds scheduling and energy monitoring). The compact design doesn't block adjacent outlets. 15A capacity handles most household devices. At $19 CAD, it's the cheapest Matter smart plug available in Canada and the easiest way to add smart control to any outlet.
