    I tried to connect thos with my Apple Home app, but found out it was not compatible. So I download the Tapo app and was able to connect the plug. However, I was not able to set up a schedule of on/off times using the app. I could only turn the lamp on, or off. I even contacted tech support, but to no avail. This product is not ready for prime time yet. I ended up returning it to Best Buy.

    Hub REQUIRED

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Note that the device requires a hub to operate, which is sold separately and is not mentioned in the description or on the Tapo website, but sure would have been nice to know up front. Unfortunately, that means they are going back to Best Buy after getting it for a killer price.

      Hello Mark,

      Since this is a Matter plug the Tapo isn't required. All you need to do is the Matter code that was included in the Google Home app. If that code has already been used then yes the Tapo app would be needed. If needed we do have a Matter Quick Install Guide on our website under the product's support page to help with the installation needs.

      Best Regards

    I purchased for local and remote use. While remote, the 2 plugs disconnected from the matter network and did not auto-reconnect. Once back, I'll replace with my standard KASA wifi plugs which will auto-reconnect. I would still recommend if you use for local use only.

    I set up two of these perfectly, then the third failed after 10 or so attempts. Of course, Best Buy won’t give you credit for one or let you do a partial return, so now I have to return all three and go through set up again, hoping another doesn’t fail. Customer service wasn’t very friendly, either. No wonder Amazon is taking so much business away from this company.

    The smart plug works properly, although the set up took some time, and I go over the process twice (maybe due to poor wifi quality), but after it was settle down, it works great!

      Hi Yaya,

      Thank you for your review. If you are having difficulty connecting the smart plug to your home Wi-Fi network during setup, please first ensure your phone is not connected to a VPN, and the smart plug is in a location where your router's 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi signal is sufficiently strong.

      Our support team is always available and happy to assist with any questions you may have about our products. Feel free to contact us through any of the resources provided with the product or on our official website, and a Support Agent will follow up with you directly.
