TP-Link Tapo Smart Switch โ Single-Pole / 3-Way / 4-Way, Matter Compatible This is another useful piece in the TP-Link Tapo smart home ecosystem. In my house I run more than 50 Tapo devices including dimmers, switches, and smart outlets. These switches are especially helpful when dealing with multi-location lighting setups such as 3-way or 4-way circuits where the same light is controlled from multiple switches. Tapo does a good job covering these situations so you can still integrate those circuits into the rest of the smart lighting system without complicated workarounds. Installation was straightforward and once added to the Tapo app the switch worked just like the rest of the system. It integrates easily with routines and voice control through Alexa, and the Matter support allows for fast local response even if the internet connection drops. Like the other Tapo switches in my house, it has been stable and reliable over the past year of use. If youโre building out a larger smart lighting system and run into a multi-switch circuit, itโs nice to know Tapo has an option that fits right into the ecosystem. Read more
Installed a few of these Tapo smart switches and theyโve been excellent. Setup in the Tapo app was fast, pairing was smooth, and theyโve been rock-solid reliable day to day. The biggest win is Matter support โ it makes integration with Alexa / Google Home / SmartThings straightforward, and it feels more โfuture-proofโ than older Wi-Fi switches. The energy monitoring is also a great feature and gives useful insight into what different lights and loads are actually using. The switch itself looks clean, feels well-built, and the button press is firm (not cheap or mushy). Overall itโs a great value compared to other smart switches with similar features. Read more
These are my absoulte favorite smart switches. Easy to install, way better than typical switches. Matter compatibility is awesome, and the primary reason I got this switch. It's fast, and I really like the light indicator when the light is turned off. One improvement I would like to see is a smart bulb mode that lets it work with smart light bulbs better, but it's a great switch. Read more
Bought to replace numerous Wemo Smart Switches, when I found Belkin was ending product support and servers in Jan 26. Supposedly switches and plugs installed, in the Apple Home Kit app, will still work post Wemo. Set up was definitely easier, compared to Wemo and the App is much faster to control switches and plugs. The switches and plugs also easily install in Apple Home Kit (I did have to reset two switches to get them to pair) and are Matter capable for future upgrades. The App does not allow Picons at this time, which the Wemo app did. Also the Tapo App will accept previously installed Kasa switches seamlessly. I had used a Kasa dimmer to replace a Wemo version that had failed and couldn't find a Wemo replacement. (Should have been a clue) I recommend you put the switch ID QR labels on sheet of paper should you need to reset in the future. My only issue is the switches do not support all 3-way wiring configurations. Only two out of six 3-way switches worked when installed in the same wiring set up as the previous Wemo or Standard switches. I had to install them as pole switches to get them to work. You have to tape off the other circuit switches or the light, etc. will not work if inadvertently activated, until turned back off. I found this note online (not noted in instructions): "Wemo 3-way switches are designed to work together in a circuit, allowing for control from multiple locations, while Tapo switches currently do not support this functionality. Tapo switches require a hub for certain automations and do not have the same capabilities as Wemo in a 3-way setup. (community.tp-link.com). Other users had the same issue. Other than the 3-way setup issue. I found the Tapo switches, plugs and App superior. The other benefit is they are much more reasonably priced. Read more
I installed this Tapo Smart WiโFi Light Switch to replace a traditional switch in my home, and Iโm very pleased with how well it works. It lets me control my lights via the Tapo app, voice commands (Alexa, Siri, Google Assistant), and schedules โ which is super convenient for daily routines and handsโfree use. I also like that it supports 3โway/4โway setups so you can control the same lights from multiple locations โ perfect for hallways and staircases. The energy monitoring feature is a nice bonus too, helping me keep track of usage. Quick setup with the app was straightforward, though having a neutral wire in the switch box is required. Overall, this smart switch is a great upgrade from standard light switches โ reliable and packed with useful features for a smart home. Highly recommend it! Read more
