The Review 

Review

The Sonoff S60TPG is a genuinely solid smart plug for UK homes. It feels well-built, fits properly into UK sockets without wobble, and offers reliable power monitoring normally seen in more expensive devices. Setup is simple, the response time is quick, and once it’s in place, it behaves exactly how you’d expect — no fuss, no random disconnects, and no cheap-plastic feel. Considering the price, it delivers far better quality and consistency than the usual budget smart plugs floating around online.

For Home Assistant users, the S60TPG performs very well with the Sonoff LAN integration installed via HACS. Once added, it provides fast state updates, stable local control, and dependable power readings ideal for automations. Whether you’re using it for energy monitoring, load detection, or straightforward on/off routines, it remains responsive and trouble-free. If you prefer more advanced setups like ESPHome flashing or deeper customisation, the option is there, but most people won’t need to go beyond the standard LAN integration.

In everyday use, this plug excels with small appliances such as kettles, lamps, fans, dehumidifiers, and seasonal lighting. It’s great for practical automations like notifying you when the kettle has boiled, switching devices off when they hit certain thresholds, or managing standby loads more efficiently. While it’s not designed for heavy appliances such as tumble dryers or ovens, it absolutely shines in typical household scenarios. For the price, reliability, and easy integration, the S60TPG is one of the best all-round smart plugs you can add to a modern UK smart home.
