I have just purchased a Tapo P110M, which is a matter over WiFi plug, and when I attempt to connect it to HA it goes through the full matter adoption but fails when adding to home assistant.
Is there a known issue or something that needs to be done to allow adding matter devices directly to HA?

The device works, more folks succesfully adopted it. For now only the switch entity is present. I've started a forum thread about the monitoring, which is coming in a future firmware update (we hope).

The issue I'm seeing tho is it won't even adopt into HA so I don't see any entities appearing at all

I'm not using the Tapo integration, just HA and Matter. I was able to add the device using the QR code scan in the Android Companion app and had no issues. There can be several problems adding Matter WiFi devices. Most issues I've seen were related to VLAN's and/or IPv6.

try adding it to tapo, then use the matter code from the device settings. That worked for me
it always failed if i tried adding it before connecting it to the tapo app. Also, when using the code from the tapo app, use the "add existing device from another ecosystem" in home assistant, not the "add new," and expect it to fail a couple of times before connecting.
fwiw, my matter devices are on VLANs, I just needed to make sure IPv6 was enabled on the network, mDNS was allowed on the VLAN, and the VLAN interface was enabled in Home Assistant.

Onboarding to matter is very finicky, even has the tendency to say it failed when it clearly did not.
When you add these tapo devices to the tapo app, make sure that you check multiple times for a firmware update. Im noticing that sometimes when you add them, tapo says the firmware is up to date when it really is not.
