    Connected to WiFi and set up to turn on and off a light. Worked when I set it up, the next day the light did not illuminate when it was scheduled and then the product showed no connection. Tried to reconnect with no luck. Took back a couple days later when I was back in town.

      Hi Speedy,

      Thank you for your review. We regret to hear your experience was anything less than satisfactory. We always recommend ensuring your router's Wi-Fi signal is adequately strong in the device's location. Within the Tapo app, there's a feature that allows you to measure the Wi-Fi signal strength of your Tapo devices. With the app open, 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 have any questions in the future, our support team is always available and happy to assist. 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.

      Thank you,

    Purchase April 2025 so I could use when I went out of town. Set up plugs all was well . Left to go out of town and the plugs would not function so could not use . Returned home from being overseas May 15th unplug items to see if can return . States return period was only a few week? Would not recommend and I typically do not buy products with short return periods . That’s usual indicator it may not be quality product . Not sure how o missed this . Would have purchased a better product on Amazon with longer return period and of better quality. No im stuck with plugs that suppose to turn lights off and on when not at home which are useless and only used twice smh: Do not purchase

      Hello Abrothers,

      The return period is set by the retailer, not the manufacturer. We have no control over that. Please reach out to support for assistance with the remote control function. Support.USA@tp-link.com or 866-225-8139.

    It was almost impossible to get these connected via matter in the Apple Home app. This despite setting my phone’s wi-fi to the 2.4 ghz band as TP-Link suggested. Anyway… I finally got one of them setup after perhaps dozens of attempts. But not the second one for some reason. Then hours later I tried and got the second one set up successfully. So I figured I’m good, right? Wrong. A few hours later both smart plugs lost their connection to Apple Home. So I don’t recommend for Apple Homekit via Matter users. But maybe using just the Tapo app would be OK? Or maybe Google Home? I dunno. Many other reviews are positive. Not my experience, unfortunately.

      Hi,

      Thank you for your review. Our Tapo smart plugs are designed for quick and easy setup. If you're having difficulty connecting them to your network during setup, please ensure your router's 2.4GHz Wi-Fi signal is sufficiently strong at the smart device's location.

      Please also make sure your smartphone is not connected to a VPN during setup, as this may interfere with the installation process.

      If you would like assistance with any of these steps, please contact our support team using any of the resources included with the product or from our official website, and we'll gladly have a Support Agent follow up with you directly.

      While Smart Plugs can be used on a power strip, they are designed to be used in a wall outlet. The spacing on a regular powerstrip is greatly different than the spacing on a wall outlet. If you plan to use smart plugs on a power strip we would recommend looking for one designed for power adapters which generally provide wider spacing. Also we do offer Smart Power strips too. The Kasa line has the HS300 power strip and Tapo has the Tapo P306 outlet extender. We even have a smart wall outlet the Tapo P210M tplink

    These require a proprietary app to function so the “compatibility” with Google Home, Amazon Alexa, etc. should have that qualifier included in the description. If I have to download yet another app on top of my smart home app of choice, the setup is not “simple and easy”. Especially considering the time it takes to read through terms and conditions on a new app if you care about privacy and companies mining data to sell after you have already paid them for a product. I will be returning these.

    These plugs work great on their own with the Tapo app (not TPLink or Kasa btw). Was looking to have the plugs integrate with my Google Home but they did not. If you are using Matter it may work better but they failed for me when trying to have them work with Google Home. Very expensive. Other solutions out there that are cheaper that will operate in separate environments like this.

    Don’t waste your money. I have quite a few smart plugs in my house, this brand connected to my AppleHome once, and since then has not been able to connect again. We keep getting the “no response” error on all of them. They were on discount and I should have paid full price for a different product. It’s frustrating because BestBuy only had a 2week return window, which is awful. Will never buy again and will think twice about BestBuy in future with this absurd return policy.
