TP-Link Tapo Smart Plug Wi-Fi Outlet, Compatible with Alexa (Echo and Echo Dot), Google Home, Wireless Smart Socket, Remote Control Timer Switch, Device Sharing, No Hub Required - Tapo P100 (4-Pack)

Simple to set up, fairly easy to integrate with Alexa once you find the right menu and assign to the right room / device. My kids’ minds were blown when I renamed Alexa to “Ghost” and asked to turn off the lights. Worth it just for that.

Excellent. Arrived early.

Great smart plugs. Connect instantly via the app.very easy to use and set up. Definitely recommend them.

Great for around the house, turning your home into a smart home, I use them to turn standard lights into smart lights instead of using smart bulbs, alot easier and a great for extension leads. Timer function also great, due to it being winter I have an electric fire, I have it set to come on 30 mins before we are home from work and it's great!

I bought the 4 Tapo plugs because some of my Calex plugs had stopped working after 5 years of use. The design of the plugs is basic but functional with a button on the side which I didn’t need to use, and a small light on the front. The plugs do extend a couple of inches from the wall so be aware of what you plug into them. I have a big wall-wart with a couple of sockets and half a dozen usb points that I will need to replace as it’ll drag the Tapo out of the wall over time if I don’t. Normal plugs and extensions with cables should be fine but the block extensions will need to be used with caution (if at all). Having looked at the plugs, I was prepared for the usual fight to set them up… because that’s what it’s always like with these kind-of things. I scanned the QR code in the instructions booklet and installed the app. There was the usual faff of setting up and verifying an account, but once that had been done, I could begin. I plugged in the first plug and hit the ‘Add device’ button. The setup started with the (iPhone) app asking me to ‘enable permissions’, ‘enable Bluetooth’, ‘Choose Network’, etc. So far, so familiar! as this was identical to all of the other devices that I’ve setup in the past… but then something new, something different… something special. The developers of the app have added a simple ‘Save Network’ option which meant that after the first plug, I just held my phone next to the socket for a short while. I then chose an icon, tapped in a name for the device (eg: Television’, chose the name of the room (Living Room), clicked to check the firmware, and finally clicked to acknowledge that the setup was complete. The whole process of setting up 4 sockets literally took about 5 minutes. What a breath of fresh air! Using the app is incredibly easy: there is a simple column layout with panels for each device. Clicking/tapping on the top left icon (the one I chose during setup) in the panel opens the device page (where you can set timers and perform other actions). Clicking/tapping on the power icon on the top right of the panel switches the device on or off. When the device is on, the panel lights up a pale blue with the device icon a medium blue and the power icon a brighter blue. When the device is off, the panel returns to white with grey icons. The colour doesn’t appear to be customisable but maybe I just haven’t found the option to do so yet. Other sections of the app screen allow you to select favourite devices, or devices by room. I am very impressed by the UI/UX of this system and hope that the reliability of the plugs is just as good. Only time will tell! However, my initial feeling is that this is a quality product being sold for a reasonable price. I will definitely add more plugs and other devices over time.
