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.

Paired with smartthings v3 hub, very easy to set up, very easy to use, been using now for Christmas lights control for 4 weeks, and very happy. Recommend.

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.

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.

The TAPO Smart Plug is amazing! I love being able to remotely monitor and control my plugs from anywhere. It’s been a game-changer for charging my devices and even monitoring my car chargers in the garage. A perfect mix of convenience and functionality!

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.

Matter support makes it extremely easy to setup these smart switches. Immediately upon power up my Android phone prompted to add to the Google Home app. The Topo app is still needed for firmware updates but is equally easy to setup after adding to Google Home. Very happy with this purchase so far.

Inexpensive (about $8 total), easy to set up, and works like a charm. Used it to turn our Christmas tree lights on and off at scheduled times but my impression from reading the instructions is that it has other capabilities.

I like my outdoor outlet so much I orders these for indoor. My wife is legally blind and controlling things can be difficult. Once the APP is installed, it recognized the units when energized. It attached with Bluetooth and then allowed attachment to out WIFI. It also asked if we wanted to allow control with Alexa (or other device). Flawless linking. Each device can be given its own name.

These were easy to use and paired seamlessly with my Alexa. The phone app is also easy to use. I love how I am able to now put my lights on a timer. I had a TP link from another company in the past and was unable to do that.

Neat product. I have a lot of TP Link products at home so to put these in the mix was beyond easy. Work very well.
I would recommend this to a friend

The Tapo smart plug is small and works great. I use it to reset my T-Mobile home internet router each night. The plug saves my routine for turning off the router and since it saves the routine internally, it can turn the router back when the internet is off. This function alone makes the plug worth the cost plus it is easy to set up with the app and Alexa.

Compact, easy to setup, and matter is a big plus for any new equipment. Downside is yet another app to download if you already own other products from the same company. Please just choose a brand name a stick with it.
