Hi! No, the Tapo TS15 does not require a hub for setup or use. If you are having difficulty connecting the Tapo Smart Light Switch to your network, please ensure your phone is not connecting through a VPN during setup, as a VPN connection will interfere with the onboarding process. If you require further assistance, please feel free to contact our official TP-Link support team using the support portal on our website.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.If you are asking if you need a TP-Link WiFi hub, the answer is no. You do need a WiFi system of some kind and a smart device (phone, tablet) that is capable to load the TP-Link Tapo app. Then follow the directions to get your device, using Tapo, to communicate with the switch and set it up for your WiFi system (name, password). You can then use the Tapo app to control the switch or add the Tapo skill to Alexa or Google Home for voice command. Yes, it's a few hoops to jump through to get it going, but it works.
