TP-Link 𝗧𝗮𝗽𝗼 Smart Plug Wi-Fi Mini, Energy Monitoring, Compatible with Alexa & Google Home & Samsung SmartThings, Timer, 15A/1800W Max, ETL Certified, 2.4G Wi-Fi Only, Tapo P115(4-Pack)

Very happy with this smart plug. It works well right out of the box. The app is easy to set up and use. I also connected it to my Samsung SmartThings home system and that worked really well and easily. And through that I connected it to my Amazon Alexa system pretty easily. Probably the best part of the app is that you can tell it what your electricity rates are. And even if you have rates that are split between certain days or certain hours of the day, you can tell it that. And then it'll tell you how much the electricity used on whatever device you are measuring cost you per day or per month or per year based on the actual costs that you had entered. I've got it set up to turn on at 8 p.m. when our power gets cheaper on our electricity plan to activate the plug for our EV. And at 6 a.m. it turns that off. And so we're only charging the EV during the time when the rates are the cheapest. That timer was very easy to set up in the app. Solid product, highly recommended. Very good value for the money.

These smart plugs have been pretty useful since I got them. They work well for my 3D printer and seedling grow lights, which is what I bought them for (I don't even bother with those fancy hydroponic setups). Setting them up was easy enough, though the app took a bit of fiddling around to get working properly. It does have some cool features though, like energy monitoring and scheduling. One time it showed me that my printer was using way more power than usual - turns out I had left it on all night by mistake! (I'm too busy thinking about new designs to worry about turning things off sometimes). The plugs themselves are small enough to fit into most outlets without any issues, and they have a nice clean look. The fact that they can be controlled with Alexa is a bonus - I don't even need to get up from my desk to turn on the grow lights now. They're pretty decent overall, though sometimes they take a while to respond to commands. Still, for the price, you really can't complain too much.

Works well, have it connected to smart things with other devices since was trying see usage of every device compared to light bill. Don't have them set to come on and off since most of the devices they're on can be turned off and use no power recorded when turned off so far. Have messed with it before and are able to turn off and on the power which could be handy if wanted something like that if wasn't home, was easy to set up and hook to wifi.

I am so so happy with this purchase. Easy to setup, works very well. Application even showing kwh for day or for months usage. Awesome!!!

We purchased the Tapo Smart Plugs to better understand how we use power in our home and to reduce our power consumption. The Tapo Smart Plug is an excellent tool for this. We installed 8 plugs around the house to monitor our power usage by area or device, e.g., refrigerator. Read on for our impressions. -- EASY INSTALL: The app installed on my Android phone quickly found the devices and paired with them. You can rename each device to make future power usage analysis easier. One issue with the instruction was that they stated to use the find method of Wifi or Bluetooth, depending on the model. My box noted Wi-Fi; however, it did not work. I had to use Bluetooth to pair each plug. -- FAIRLY ACCURATE: We compared power measures of the Tapo with other meters and found the Tapo provided a reasonably accurate number. -- A BAD ONE: One of the 8 units we ordered was bad. Amazon replaced it quickly. -- EASY TO USE APP: The app is easy to use, providing both instantaneous power measurements as well as kWh daily or monthly. -- CAN EXPORT DATA: The data can be exported as an Excel file to save the data and for editing for further analysis. -- WORKS REMOTELY: When using the app while away on a trip, it opened and provided the real-time power measurements of each plug. Update after 3 weeks of Use: 2 of the 8 Plugs stopped communicating. I unplugged and replugged with no success. I pressed the button for 5 seconds to reinstall, and 1 one of the plugs was immediately recognized by the app, and I reinstalled the plug, and the past 3 weeks of data were recovered, which I was very happy to see. The other plug WAS NOT immediately recognized, and I had to scan for a new device. It did reinstall, but as a completely new device,e and all past data was lost. For that, I removed one star from the review.

Great work as advertised love them!

It is rare that I see a TRULY well-designed product - software, and/or consumer electronics. But these are the rare gem: clearly well thought out, designed, and tested. SUPER easy setup (if you have the app installed and open, it will automatically prompt you to add when one is plugged in) - total of 75 seconds to setup, beginning to end INCLUDING a firmware update. (not including entering WiFi information - only needed for the first device) I originally got it just to monitor how much power devices were using (WAY cheaper than those Kill-A-Watt type meters: smaller, records history, AND remote monitoring!) But found so many more great, useful features when I started setting up the first plug: - SCHEDULE: you can set absolute times (i.e. ON at 5:03pm, OFF at 11:17pm), or RELATIVE times to Sunrise or Sunset, WITH OFFSETS - BRILLIANT! (other plugs only give you right AT Sunrise/Sunset). My living room gets dark about an hour BEFORE sunset - so I can set the ON = SUNSET-(1 Hour), OFF = 11pm, and it will adjust automatically throughout the year! Always 1 hour before sunset. No changing it with seasons, or Daylight Savings Time!! May use for low-voltage lights and Christmas lights (i.e. a little before sunset until a little before sunrise) - CHARGE GUARD (Beta): it will turn off whenever it detects the power dropping below a certain level (currently configurable 1-20 watts) for a certain period. GREAT to protect your battery, device, and HOUSE. I just set one up for my eBike charger: <20w for 10 minutes, and it shuts off when done charging. Safer, and better for the battery. Will be using them for charging my drones/quadcopters/RC stuff, drills, phones, cars, 3D Printer (ie when done printing), etc. - TIMED OFF (Auto-Off Timer): it will turn off after a set period of time, *every time you turn it on* (i.e. after pressing the power button on the plug, OR by remote) So use on things like: iron, hair curling iron, hotplate, soldering iron, EBIKE (mine is set to 10 hours), etc. This works IN ADDITION to "Charge Guard" and Power Limit. - POWER PROTECTION (LIMIT): turns off if your wattage limit is exceeded (short? failure? fire? etc.). I set my eBike charger plug to 300 watts, as it normally draws <200w. - AUTO FIRMWARE UPDATE: I'm tired of updating devices manually! And I have A LOT lol (time window configurable) - NOTIFICATIONS: I've only tested the "Charge Guard", but it sends you a notification "Charge Guard turned off Device X" - I expect similar from the other modes - Quick response: plug turns on immediately from the app (at least when I'm local) - some other devices have a few second delay - Good sized, long-term company. TP-Link has been around for years, with lots of networking equipment - so they'll be around for a while, and maintain their app - unlike the little no-name brands. This also suggests these should be well-designed for reliability and longevity. I feel much safer about charging my EBike with this (set to max 10 hours, 300w, and auto-off when the charging power drops below 20w for >10 minutes). A VERY low price for peace of mind! Oh - and I can see how much power a device is using - my original goal :) Current/real-time, past (history), which days, cost (if you enter your $/kWh), etc. All nicely graphed out. Additional features I haven't explored: "Smart Actions", like geofencing (turn things on/off based on your location, like lights on/off when you're home vs away) Device integration with things like leak detectors, contact switches (eg on doors), humidifiers/hygrometers, Smart Buttons, Group actions (when one device is turned on (or off), turn other device(s) on/off), cameras for motion detection

I spent the better part of 2 hours attempting to get these 4 plugs connected, then finally did, only to have 2 fail to stay connected and refuse to connect again. Will not buy Tapo again. As others have said, the plugs do not appear as a wifi hotspot, so you can only use bluetooth to attempt to connect them. This is not my first rodeo with this type of thing. I have ensured that I was on the same wifi network, only 2.4gHz, because these are only 2.4gHz plugs. I ensured that I was not connected to a VPN, I ensured that my wifi password had less than the maximum number of characters and no special characters. Bla, bla, bla ad infinitum. It looks like Tapo, Tp-Link, and Kasa may be the same company now? I don't know, but it sure has degraded from what it used to be. I would never, ever buy this junk again. Even when I did accidentally manage to get the plugs connected, 2 of the 4 failed to stay connected and would not reconnect after a power cycle. I used their Tapo app, as instructed. I believe that I tried Smart Life first, as I have stuff on their and have had good luck with it, however it did not work with these plugs. I have subsequently purchased "AiSeek" brand that uses the Smart Life app and they would immediately connect and have stayed connected for several hours so far. I worked on both brands in the exact same location to ensure a fair comparison. I trusted the brand from previous experience, now I wish that I had read the reviews. Be forewarned!

Works perfectly, easy set up with an easy to use app.

Si quieres un control cuando no estás en casa o simplemente a cierta distancia, está es la opción perfecta Pros 1. Fácil de configurar 2. Se usa la misma app que focos o algunos otros aparatos de la marca 3. Programable en horarios 4. Controla cada uno de los dos contactos independientemente 5. Se puede usar con timer Contras: Ni encuentro ninguna si acaso pudiera serlo el tamaño puesto que no es un contacto pequeño o discreto pero para tener dos salidas y por su estética no es un gran inconveniente. Otro pudiera ser el precio pero lo compré en oferta y así resultó ser una gran compra. Si te gusta la tecnología, quieres hacer tu casa un poco más inteligente o simplemente quieres poder controlar fuera de casa algunos aparatos tal vez para aparentar qué hay alguien en casa o prender algo antes de llegar o apagarlo después de cierto tiempo sin molestarte esta es una gran opción sin duda

Spend the extra and get these with energy monitoring. It's super useful. Plus they seem higher quality and way denser and heavier cuz I have a 1500w power supply that I think was killing the cheaper ones. These have been fine and turn off and on exactly as needed.

Muy funcionales, muy rápida respuesta de encendido y apagado

Funciona hasta que no, compré 4, uno se descompuso al mes, el otro se descompuso a los 15 meses, simplemente deja de cortar la energía, ya se descompuso otro 2 ya no sirven
