I now have smart bulbs or plug ins for all my lights except the overheads....I also have several brands. I purchased a TP link indoor security/baby monitor camera a few months ago to be able to keep an eye on my bedridden spouse. I liked it so much I immediately bought a second for the hearth room. Those were so easy to set up that when I wanted another smart plug in I looked for the TP brand again. YAY. I already had the app on my phone so set up took maybe 2 minutes - for it to find the device....THEN a minute to set it up with Alexa....again so easy because I had the TP app on my phone.I gifted my neighbor with one of my three. She has said "I should maybe get things like that"....so I helped her plug in her first smart plug, helped her get the app on her phone and then get her Echo to find it. She was really proud of her first SMART light. She will be buying more.You can't go wrong with this brand. They have amazing prices on really quality products that seem to work seamlessly.I just ordered one of their outdoor SOLAR security cameras that I need to install. The solar panel goes up near the roof line and I have a perfect spot on the facia to attach the light.I really like that I can control my TP Link devices with their app, with my alexa app, or with my voice. I really really love this brand.

After receiving notification from Belkin that my WEMO plugs and app would not be supported within a few months, I decided to switch them out. I looked at a lot of different options and decided to go with Tp link Topo plugs. Glad I made that decision. These plugs were so easy to setup on my network and the app is so easy for programming. After having WEMO for so many years - I can say these are so much easier to program. They work with my Alexa as well and added them to my already setup routines. Work perfectly.

The smart plug works well, and was easy to install in the Tapo app and on Apple Home. I like that the Tapo app lets me control my lights from outside my home without needing a separate hub.The plug is wide, so two plugs cannot be installed in a two-gang outlet configuration (in my case a box with a typical 110V pair of outlets beside a single 220V outlet in the same box - see photo).Note that these are very similar to the Kasa brand, which I thought I was buying. Kasa and Tapo are both TP-Link brands, and the products and packaging are almost identical. This Tapo product will not connect to the Kasa app, so make sure you read the product description carefully.TP-Link customer support (Jay, thank you!) helped me transfer all of my previous Kasa products to the Tapo app, so now my switches and plugs all work together.

Needed a couple of smart plugs and saw there is a brand new technology called "matter" that allows smart devices to continue to function on the local network if the internet is down, and also can work across multiple smart services (alexa, google, etc.) which I found appealing, so I figured if buying new devices today I would be future proofing with matter.After plugging in, I made the mistake of following the included "quick start" instructions which had me setup the tapo app. Don't do this if you want to use matter, there is a separate card for matter instructions, and at least for alexa you have to setup devices in a specific order. To back out of that I hard reset the plug (hold power for 10 seconds) then followed TP-Link's Alexa setup instructions online and paired with an echo dot 5th gen, and that works great! Frankly I'm still confused if the tapo thing is matter or if it's a different protocol from the multiverse and how they work together. The instructions could be clear here on tapo vs. matter.It was a little challenging setting up the pairing with the Android phone (pixel 7) because while I was trying to scan the QR code in the Alexa app a matter device recurring pop-up kept taking over the screen, I think this is from Android but not sure, and assume it found it from bluetooth. I eventually managed to dismiss that and sneak in the scan for alexa before it came back, and I'm still not sure what would have happened had I tried to set it up via that method.Surprise! Matter doesn't actually let you control one service via another (e.g., control the device paired to Alexa from Google) unless you own a hub to pair for each service, and I don't own any Google nest stuff. After I created a code to use it from Google Home, it added the device successfully, but it said offline. So you cannot route Google Home controls on your phone through an echo or vice versa. Sad!So, I actually have a compatible SmartThings hub even though I don't want to control it from that, and I started going through the same steps to get a pairing code, etc. But, it never successfully paired because the app never got passed the screen that says "Preparing."Promising technology but still some work to do. The plug works great and as expected with Alexa routines, I'm very happy on that front.---Update: I realize I am one of the first reviewers of these matter smart plugs, so I'm sure people are asking "What's a matter with SmartThings?" following this review. I'm happy to report that I saw a SmartThings app update come down on Android today, so on a hunch I tried to setup the plug again by getting a new code from Alexa, and sure enough this time it worked! It's an "Aeotec Smart Home Hub" for those interested.

I originally bought these smart plugs for my Christmas lights and inflatable decorations—and they worked perfectly. Now I use them year-round for every holiday and even for my Scentsy wax warmers.Setup was super easy. I even use one to automatically turn on a bathroom light at 6:00 AM, which helps me start my day on schedule.Great product—reliable, versatile, and convenient!

Perfect solution for an irritating problem. My Smartthings hub, which is Matter-compatible, recognized the plug immediately before I even installed the TP-Link Tapo app. I was having a problem whenever there was a power or internet outage, the Smarrthings hub wouldn't come back online after it was restored until I came home and reset the hub. Now I can do this remotely via TCP/IP instead of having to wait til I got home to reset the hub. You DO NOT have to be on your home network to control the plug! Better than expectations.
