Brought the plug home and plugged up and set it up, constantly kicking on and off and wont set up, will never purchace from this brand again!
We always recommend that you ensure your router's 2.4GHz Wi-Fi signal is adequately strong in the smart device's location. The Tapo app has a feature that allows you to measure the Wi-Fi signal strength of your smart devices. When the app is connected, please check the signal strength in the Device Settings menu.
If the signal is within the ideal range, and you're still experiencing these symptoms, please ensure your Tapo app is up to date, then update your smart device's firmware by selecting Me → Firmware Update within the Tapo app.
If you need help with any of these steps, please contact our support team using any of the resources included with the product or from our official website. We'll gladly have a Support Agent follow up with you directly.
Thank you, TP-Link Support

These Tapo smart plugs were easy to set up and work seamlessly with Matter. They’ve been reliable for automating lights and small appliances, and the compact size means they don’t block the second outlet. A straightforward, no-hassle smart home upgrade.

Easy set up. Easy to use. I got these on sale during black friday. Very good prive. Overall awesome. The alexa environment is pretty cool so far. Lots of neat things you can do. Like, alternate wax warmers through the day using routines. A blink camera detecting motion can activate a tv, stereo, light or any other device. Think Home Alone... is there a commercial yet? Should be.

Top-Notch Smart Plugs for HomeKit Users!

These smart plugs are absolutely the best I’ve ever used! I’ve tried almost every HomeKit-compatible plug on the market, from WeMo to Philips Hue, and these stand out in every way. The installation was effortless—I was up and running in under a minute. Simply plug it into the wall, scan the code on the side or the included packaging, and you’re good to go. They even provide stickers for each plug so you can save the codes in a booklet for easy reference later.
The attention to detail in the engineering, design, and even the packaging is exceptional. Everything about these plugs feels thoughtfully designed, making the whole experience seamless and user-friendly. I’ve been a long-time HomeKit enthusiast and, back in 2019, had one of the largest setups Apple had seen. Even then, with older technology, these plugs would have exceeded expectations.
These smart plugs do exactly what they advertise. They’re well-built, reliable, and incredibly easy to install. They’ve surpassed all my expectations. The value is also fantastic—at regular pricing, $49.99 for three plugs is a great deal, but the Black Friday price of $19.99 was unbeatable.
I highly recommend these smart plugs to any HomeKit user looking for a reliable and effortless way to enhance their smart home system. This is a must-buy product that delivers everything you need and more!

For the price it’s perfect. You get 3 smart plugs in the box. Download the Tapo App.
The set up is straight foward. You can name each plug, that way you can place them, and know which one is which via wifi.
They are small so the won’t block your other outlet on the same plate.
Once you start using these smart plugs, your gonna wonder why you didn’t buy these earlier.
You can set up schedules which is very helpful. And it even lets you knoe how much energy the item you have plugged is using.
Overall, I really liked the purchase, and they are on sale for $25, down from the $50.

This smart plug set is a great choice for anyone starting or expanding their smart home. Setup was quick and easily connected to my existing system. The plugs are compact and don’t block neighboring outlets, which is a huge plus. Once connected, they work reliably with schedules and voice control. Great value for a 3-pack and perfect for lamps, fans, or holiday lights.
Pros: Easy setup, compact size, reliable performance
Cons: The App could be slightly more intuitive
Overall, an excellent smart home upgrade at a reasonable price.

I recently purchased the TP-Link Tapo Smart Wi-Fi Plug Mini (3-pack), and they have been a game-changer for my smart home setup. Setting them up was incredibly easy, thanks to Matter support, which made integration with my smart home ecosystem seamless.
The compact design is great—it doesn’t block adjacent outlets, and the plugs feel sturdy. I use them to control lamps, coffee makers, and other small appliances, and they respond instantly to commands via the Tapo app, Alexa, and Google Assistant. The scheduling and timer features are also super handy for automating daily routines.
Overall, these smart plugs are reliable, easy to set up, and work flawlessly. Definitely a great investment for anyone looking to enhance their smart home!

Super easy to set up, especially with Matter support—it works flawlessly with my smart home setup (Apple Home & Alexa). Compact design doesn’t block other outlets, and remote control/scheduling features are super handy. Great value for a solid smart plug!

I picked up the 3-pack on sale, and it ended up being a better value than the 2-pack (which I also purchased and then returned). Setup was quick, they work reliably with Matter, and the compact size keeps the second outlet free. A solid smart plug set for the price.

I couldn’t be happier with the TP-Link Tapo Smart Wi-Fi Plug Mini with Matter (3-pack)! These plugs are compact, easy to set up, and incredibly reliable. The Matter compatibility is a game-changer, making integration seamless with all my smart home devices, whether I’m using Alexa, Google Assistant, or Apple HomeKit.
The setup process was straightforward, and the Tapo app is intuitive and user-friendly. I love that I can schedule my devices, monitor power usage, and even use voice commands to control them. The small size ensures they don’t block adjacent outlets, which is a huge plus.

Great value. Setup was easy. I use with my Google Assistant. Love the fact that if it plugs in, it can become a Smart device. Only downside for me is you have to use the manufacturer's app to setup and im not a fan of adding more apps.

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 things are amazing, they are performing well. I am able to turn them on and off from hundreds of miles away. The only snafu I had was with the initial set up with the Tapo app. Once I figured how to configure them on the app, they are working flawlessly.

For 20+ years I've been using the old X-10 technology to automate our window candles and Xmas lights. I bought 15 of these to automate all that via my phone and Wifi. Super easy to set up, reliable and has great range.

Great gadget to help automate your home. Use with both Google Home and the Tapo app. Fast easy set up. Beats the old mechanical devices easily. Set up random or consistent times for on/off. Even has an "away" function that will randomly turn your devices on/off at various times of day. Manual override is easy too.

Excellent smart plug, easy to use. I run through home assistant and took 30 seconds to setup.

My first entry into having smart plugs was having WEMO brand plugs and they worked ok, I found issues over time with the WEMO brand ones disconnecting from the app and having to be reset so that got annoying. I kept an eye out for other recommended brands and I landed on the Tapo TP-Link plugs...BEST DECISION EVER. They have worked flawlessly. Setup is simple, control is great, you can even see all of the stats about how long things are on/energy used if you are into that. I just want a device that makes non smart things smart that I can turn on with my voice or even set a schedule. I would get these time and time again!
