Have these set up across a couple lights/devices in the house and works like a dream. Awesome to be able to turn on/off lights from the couch. Can also set up other lights on “dusk” and “dawn” scheduling, so once it gets dark/light, lights are where want them.

Fantastic for adding automations to your home, integrates with Apple shortcuts and Home assistant which I use both in my home to control Christmas lights, turn of my lamp, and automatically turn on/off a space heater when I come/leave my house

I bought 6 plugs for my mother’s home and it was a quick and easy install. She loves them as she uses a walker to get around and her life just got a little easier and brighter.

I connected this to my Google Home just fine, however when I went down to my living room where I have Amazon Echos, it didn't even know they existed. So I had to set them up a second time for Alexa. Then I own an iPhone and sometimes I use HomeKit and again had to set them up again. So I had to set these things up 3 times.
All that's fine right, not really a TP-Link problem, more of a standards issue. Okay fine. However because it's not on multiple things, sometimes it doesn't turn on when I ask Google, and sometimes Alexa won't work either. It's almost as if something is remember it's last state and not realizing the new state. So I've worked around it by using different voice commands.
Is that a Tapo issue, no idea! But it's a bummer for my experience.
And lastly, they're slightly too big for what I need. I ultimately ended up buying a flat extension cord and slapping these things on them and now I can push my furniture against the wall again.

Plugs were easy to install and pair with my phone. They worked very well for Christmas decorations and other indoor devices. They are priced well. I would recommend them.

I fidgeted for two days before realizing that my phone must be connected to a 2.4GHz WiFi band to add these to the Home app in iOS.
Before learning this, I could add these to the Tapo app without issues. However, when I tried to add these to the Home app, the device's LED would change from blinking blue and orange to solid blue. So, I knew that it was communicating with the device. However, it would report that it could not pair the device to the Home app after two minutes. Connecting my phone to the 2.4GHz band solved the problem in the end.
Suppose your router does not broadcast two separate SSIDs for 2.4GHz and 5GHz. In that case, you must temporarily turn off the 5GHz or lower the power broadcast in the 5GHz band until the setup is complete. Once this is done, you can restore the 5GHz band on your router.
The second issue I noticed was that the Home app said the devices were unresponsive after being successfully added. I had to wait 5 minutes, force close the Home app, and reopen it before it said the device was available.
I deducted one star because no issues occurred when adding my Philips Hue bulbs. I could add them while connected to the 5GHz band, and they showed immediate availability after pairing.
I give it four stars because it works well once correctly set up. The devices quickly respond to input within the Tapo and Home apps. It is also a great value.
Do not hesitate to purchase if you plan to use this within the proprietary app. This device might require some intermediate tech skills if you plan to use this within Homekit or another Matter-based ecosystem.

This TP-Link Tapo Smart Wifi mini plug was so easy to setup and it worked pretty well. I used these for my lamps while not home and I can setup the time when it should come on and turn off. I haven't tried on any other appliances so not able to comment the functionality of them. I also like that it's small enough to plug in the lamp without overtaking the other outlet.

Works straight out of the box with simple, hassle-free setup process. Compatibility with Google Home is great as it limits the number of different apps I need to use to manage smart devices.

These are VERY easy to set up with the Tapo app, link easily with Google or Echo devices, and have been incredibly reliable for my household. I use these around my house and had them set up for my Christmas lights this year without issue. Highly recommended.
