Is the Aqara Power Plug worth buying for Apple Home users?

In this review, I take a closer look at Aqara’s latest Matter over Thread smart plug, covering setup, Apple Home integration, Thread vs Zigbee, energy monitoring and whether it’s actually worth the price compared to alternatives like IKEA.

As always, this is an independent review based on real-world testing, including the good, the bad and who I think should actually buy it.

If you’re building an Apple Home or Matter smart home, this is everything you need to know before you spend your money.
