ELEGRP Smart Plug Mini (US/CA)
Matter Protocol
The ELEGRP Smart Plug Mini (US/CA) from Elegrp connects to your smart home over Wi-Fi. It joins your existing network directly, without a Thread Border Router or extra hub, and your Matter controller reaches it through your home router.
Wi-Fi Band
Most Matter Wi-Fi devices only connect on 2.4 GHz. If your router combines 2.4 and 5 GHz under one SSID, split them to avoid issues.
Same Network
Your phone, your controller and the device must be on the same network. Guest networks and separate VLANs can block Matter.
Power Use
Wi-Fi uses more power than Thread, so most Matter over Wi-Fi devices run on mains power instead of batteries.
Every Matter device needs a Matter controller, like a smart hub, display or speaker. See all Matter hubs →
Matter Version
Matter 1.1
The ELEGRP Smart Plug Mini (US/CA) is certified on Matter 1.1, released in May 2023. This update added no new device types. It improved support for battery-powered devices that sleep most of the time, so they last longer and show as offline less often.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the ELEGRP Smart Plug Mini (US/CA) need a smart hub?
Yes, but only a Matter controller from your platform, not a separate bridge. The ELEGRP Smart Plug Mini (US/CA) connects straight to your home network. The controller can be an Apple home hub, a Google Nest speaker, an Amazon Echo or Home Assistant.
Does the ELEGRP Smart Plug Mini (US/CA) work without internet?
Yes. Matter runs on your local network, so the ELEGRP Smart Plug Mini (US/CA) keeps working when your internet goes down. Remote access, voice assistants and some Elegrp cloud features may still need a working connection.
Does the ELEGRP Smart Plug Mini (US/CA) work with Apple Home, Google Home, Alexa and Home Assistant?
Yes. The ELEGRP Smart Plug Mini (US/CA) is Matter certified, so it works with Apple Home, Google Home, Amazon Alexa, Samsung SmartThings and Home Assistant, as long as the platform supports Plug devices. Support for newer device types can differ per platform.
Do I need the Elegrp app to use the ELEGRP Smart Plug Mini (US/CA)?
No. Any Matter hub can set up and control the ELEGRP Smart Plug Mini (US/CA) without the Elegrp app. Some advanced features may not be part of Matter yet, so settings like firmware updates or special modes can still require the Elegrp app.
How do I set up the ELEGRP Smart Plug Mini (US/CA)?
Open your smart home app, choose to add a device and scan the Matter QR code on the ELEGRP Smart Plug Mini (US/CA) or its packaging. You can also type in the 11-digit Matter code instead. The app guides you through the rest. Keep the code safe, you need it again after a reset.
