【Matter: All-Round Compatibility】With Matter, users are no longer tied to specific platforms and works with all certified smart home platforms, such as Apple Home, Amazon Alexa, Google Home and Samsung SmartThings. You can control all your smart home devices from a single app, reducing the need for multiple apps for different devices.
【Matter: Smooth LAN Control】With Matter, all devices in your LAN communicate efficiently, even if your internet goes offline. A direct device-to-device interaction eliminates the need for a ‘forwarding’ device. For instance, a Matter switch or sensor can control a Matter bulb without any cloud service. Once set up, direct communication between Matter devices on your local network is easily achieved.
【Matter: Multi-Admin】Matter also allows you to control devices via multiple smart home systems at the same time through its Multi-Admin feature. That means you can turn on your lights from the SmartThings app on a Samsung smartphone, dim them by asking Alexa on an Amazon Echo speaker, and then turn them off from the Apple Home app on an iPad.
【App-Guided Install】The Tapo app guides you through step-by-step setup. Requires neutral wiring and 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi. Consulting an electrician is recommended if you’re unfamiliar with electrical wiring.
【Voice Control】Enjoy the hands-free convenience of controlling the lights in your home with your voice via Amazon Alexa, or Google Assistant. Perfect for times when your hands are full or entering a dark room.

TP-Link Quality Switch
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.

Reliable smart switch at a great price
Easy setup, solid performance, and very budget-friendly. The Matter integration works smoothly with my smart home system, and the switch feels well built. You really can’t beat the value at this price!

Works as an automated switch
I use these in conjunction with a Tapo motion light switch. I haven’t rules set in the Tapo app that turn the bathroom fan on (using this switch) for 5 minutes after the motion light turns off. The app also lets me run this routine during certain time periods. I can also run a fan based on Tapos Humidity, motion or door sensors using the apps rules or Alexa routines. I also have the switch set to run the fan for 5 minutes when pressed. The switch connects well to Alexa. Installation is easy but requires a neutral wire. There’s a lot of functionality for the price, especially if you get these on sale during Prime Day. Tapo has other switches that are dimmable.

Excellent, It’s a switch, not a dimmer, good. Good value, connected easily. A couple of quirks.
FYI this is a switch, not a dimmer! This needs to be made more clear. It’s just on or off and uses an internal relay so it can handle more power than a dimmer. This is exactly what I was looking for to control my outdoor floods. When it switches on or off, you hear a little click, which is the relay. You actually want to hear this click! It lets you know it’s working. Connected immediately, no problems, found the 2.4 signal that was mixed in with the 5 signal. Not everyone can do that. They even give you a switch plate. Very good value, well priced. Would buy again. As an aside, don’t let the matter thing throw you off. It’s merely the latest telecomm protocol and invisible to the user. As an aside, what is unusual about these switches is that the paddle lights when the switch if OFF! Second, the connections for load and line are the same (two blacks which can be used for either.) This is a “good” but different than other switches. I would recommend that they change the color of one of the black wires to maybe blue or red.

Surpassed my install expectations, working well
Although the instructions for the smart app use could have been clearer and it would have helped if the QR codes had not been at the bottom of the box, the wiring diagram for install was good. The recognition of the switch by the Apple Home app worked seamlessly and the Home app led me through test of install (app made the network connection supplying password etc). Installation of my second switch took 20 minutes or less. I am using sunrise-sunset control (Home app option), working well. I had considered using light sensor bulbs, these switches are effective, provide more control options and are more economical. Could not be happier, with the function of the switch, integration with my Apple Home app (instructions call the app “Matter”) and designer look of the switch.

Requires a common white wire
These products appear to be quality. They wire up easily if you have black white and copper available wires. Was installed fire up the app walk through the set up process and you’re good to go. Works well with Alexa.

Ce lot de deux interrupteurs intelligents Tapo Matter m’a vraiment impressionné par sa simplicité d’installation et sa compatibilité parfaite avec mon écosystème SmartThings. La configuration s’est faite en quelques minutes seulement, sans aucune complication. Depuis, ils fonctionnent sans faille : la réactivité est excellente et la connexion stable. Un produit fiable, bien conçu et idéal pour moderniser facilement son installation électrique. Je recommande à 100 %.

So far so good! This product was extremely simple to install, and even easier to set up using the Tapo App. The dimmer buttons are very tactical and offer a solid click when pushed. The on/off button has a good spring-like action when pushed. The App also offers tons of automations and customizations. For example, between the hours or 11PM and 6AM, I limited the brightness to 25% so if I need to turn on the light in the middle of the night, I’m not blinded!

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!
