Title: TP-Link Quality Switch
Review: I had started on my smart home journey many years ago and had initially used Belkin Wemo switches for my light fixtures. The Wemos never worked well, and I had switched them all out a number of years ago, replacing them with TP-Link Kasa switches, which have been trouble free and worked great with both Alexa and the Kasa app. I have 5 Kasa dimmer smart switches and I recently decided to add another one. In my search on Amazon I did find the Kasa switch but also saw that there was a newer model, which is this Tapo model. It looks to be the same as my Kasa switch, but also supported Matter.The Tapo switch looks and installs just like the older Kasa model. With installation, it’s straight forward, but key is having the neutral wiring as not all homes have them. You will also need to be a distinguish between the line and load wires (not important in older switches), so having a non-contact voltage tester would be helpful. The hardest part of the installation is tucking away the wires to get the switch to fit inside the wall box. The snap on cover plate gives the switch a nice clean look.With the switch installed, the next step is adding it to the app. It does not work with the old Kasa app, but the good news for me was that the Tapo app will work with my older Kasa smart devices. I downloaded the Tapo app and signed in with my TP-Link account, and it immediately populated all of my Kasa devices. Adding this switch was easy, just clicking on the “+” button and selecting the product. It found it right away and only took a few minutes. I have always liked the Kasa app and the Tapo app looks to be even better, as it’s intuitive, though I will need some time to try out the features. On my Alexa, I did unlink my Kasa skill and then linked the Tapo skill, though not sure if I really had to do that. Alexa found the Tapo switch right away and works as expected in controlling it.As Tapo supports Matter, I did also add it to Apple Home Kit. None of my older switches support Home Kit, so this is the only smart switch on Home Kit. To add to Home Kit, it just requires the QR code from the device, which I did not find in or on the box, so I initially thought it’s probably on the back of the switch, which didn’t make much sense to me. However, in looking at the device in the Tapo app, there was an option to show the QR code, so problem solved. Adding to Home Kit was also quick and easy once I had the QR code.I have over 2 dozen TP-Link smart devices in my home setup. All of them are in the Kasa line except for this new Tapo switch. I can attest to the quality of their devices and am happy that TP-Link is continuing to bring new functionality to their line.

Title: Great Budget Friendly Smart Dimmers Perfect with Home Assistant
Review: I’ve been using these for a while now and they work great! Setup was simple, and they’ve been totally reliable ever since. They’re a fantastic alternative to the more expensive smart dimmers out there—no need to break the bank for the same functionality. Best of all, they integrate seamlessly with Home Assistant, which was a big win for me. If you’re looking for affordable, dependable dimmers that play nice with your smart home setup, these are a solid choice.

Title: The switch and the app work very well!
Review: I have had a Belkin smart switch for our porch lights for a very long time, but that quit working and Belkin has stopped supporting that system anyway. So I decided to try out this TP Link switch. So far I am really liking it, set up went so much better than with the Belkin. It was very easy to connect to the Tapo app, plus setting up automatic actions works very well also. I set it up to turn the porch lights on when I arrive and turn off when I leave. I was quite pleased with the price and recommend this switch! The face plate that comes with it is a snap on plate, but the switch does accommodate face plates with screws so if you have a different plate you want to use, it will work.

Title: Most customizable smart switch
Review: Have tried various smart switches and these Tapos are the best. App is simple to use yet very feature rich. Plenty of detailed customization options. And I can dim the lights all the way to 1% with the physical buttons, which can be calibrated. Even the Max can be adjusted. Every other switch I’ve tried this is only possible via the app or voice command. that smart stuff is great and all but sometimes just want the simplicity of pressing a button.Button feel is a little soft but there is a tactile and audible click when pressed. By default switch light only on when lights are Off, this can be changed in settings. Not a fan of the included wall plate. It looks fine, though leaves an 1/8″ gap from the wall. And being screwless a bit difficult to install/remove.Switch uses pigtails for Ground and Neutral. But the Hot connections are screw clamped terminals (no J-hook). And switch body is rather girthy, little deeper than a GFCI. Would suggest oversized receptacle box. Just barely managed to force it into a standard size plastic box (14cu). An 18cu+ box is recommended.

Title: Great smart switch
Review: With Belkin puking out of the market, i decided to replace my old smart switches with these from TP-Link. Connectivity wise, these installed seamlessly in the old switch location. In fact, they had a skimmer profile, so the wiring fit better. The app recognized and configured the switches without having to finagle anything. Works well with my Google home automation having been automatically after to the home.

Review: I’m not an electrician, and I was quite intimidated by the thought of installing this in my apartment suite rental. I put off on buying this for that very reason and went with smart bulbs instead. After a little research on the internet, I started feeling more comfortable with the idea of installing these switches. Here’s what you need to know (from a non technical standpoint).Your home needs to have a neutral wire in the switch box for this to work. There is apparently a workaround for homes without a neutral wire, but I can’t advise on that. If your home is a newer build, it may already have neutral wires. Here’s how to know if you have neutral wires in tour light switch box:-Turn the breaker to your light switch off and confirm there is no power to the switch (by turning the switch on to confirm no lights come on and also with the use of a non contact voltage meter).-Unscrew the screws holding the switch cover, and then unscrew the switch itself to pull it out. If there are only two screws on your switch with wires attached, then this is the product for you.(NOTE: If there are three screws with electrical wire attached to your switch, this is NOT the Tapo product for you. This means you have a three-way switch and Tapo makes a separate product for that.)-Now look inside the switch box to find a small bundle of wires (two or three maybe) all twisted together with a wire nut on them. This will be the neutral wires you are going to add the Tapo neutral wire to. If you have this small bundle of wire, you are good to go.(The only other thing you should see inside the box is a bare copper wire. This may be screwed to the box itself or may just be resting inside the box. This is the ground wire.)If your light switch and box meet the conditions above, then this Tapo product is for you and an easy one to install.The Tapo switch has four wires coming out of it, all labeled on the back. The Tapo switch also comes with wire nuts so you can securely add the Tapo wires to the existing wires. I would recommend removing then adding one wire at a time, leaving all the other existing wires alone until ready to connect them. In other words, disconnect ONE of the wires from your old switch, leaving the other one still connected. Connect one of the Tapo black wires to this one and then put the wire nut on it and make sure it’s secure. Next, disconnect the other wire from your old switch and connect the second Tapo black wire to this. Cap it with a wire nut.(Note that it doesn’t matter which black wire attaches to which of the old switch wires. If one of your old switch wires has TWO wires together going to ONE screw, keep these wires together and simply add one of the black Tapo wires to these wires.)Next, connect Tapo’s white neutral wire to the bundle of neutral wires existing in your box. After adding the Tapo neutral wire and putting a wire nut on it and testing that it is secure, finally add the green Tapo ground wire to the ground wire in your box.Make sure no bare copper wire is showing (except for the ground wire obviously). Push everything back into the box and screw the new Tapo switch into the box where the old switch was. I would turn the breaker back on at this point to see if the switch works. Even before being paired with your network. The Tapo switch will still turn on and off the power to whatever it controls. If it works, put the Tapo cover on. It’s a snap-on cover. Very easy to put on.The last thing to do id add the switch to the Tapo app amd to your network. And now you’re ready to start using your new Tapo switch!
