I've had weemo plugs in the past and these are 1000x better. These are smaller and I never have any issues connecting or using them. Set up was painless and fast. I control them through my Google Home app.

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 would recommend this to a friend

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.

These make life a little bit easier! Easy to connect. Easy to control. Now when I lay in bed and realize I forgot to turn out the light I just open the app and turn off the light!

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.

I replaced some old WeMo and Amazon smart plugs with these TP Link Tapo smart plugs. The Tapo plug is about half the size of the old plugs. I really like that the plug does not interfere with the adjacent plug on the wall outlet when plugged in. The WeMo plugs would block the 2nd outlet whereas the Tapo ones leave it clear so I can use the 2nd outlet.

Best smart plugs I ever owned. saved us a ton during Christmas lights arrangement and control. It was easy to turn lights on and off within a huge tree.

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.

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.
