Another person said: “Easy to install and connect to the app and the WiFi, easily connect, decent quality and it perfectly integrates with Alexa’s routine. Very useful.” A third wrote: “These Tapo smart plugs are fantastic! Setup was a breeze using the Tapo app, and they work flawlessly with both Alexa and Google Assistant. The scheduling feature is super handy, I’ve set mine to turn lamps on in the evening. Connection has been solid, and there’s no noticeable delay when switching devices on or off remotely. They’re compact too, so they don’t block other sockets. Great value for a two-pack. Highly recommend.”
One customer explained their four-star review saying: “Already in the Tapo echo system so thought I would give these a go for the lamps around the house and they take up minimal space and don’t look too out of place. Would have been 5 stars but when I got mine although they was new I had issues with pairing to the app but once following the instructions on resetting the plugs they worked just fine.”
Another wrote: “You have to download the Tapo app to set up the plugs first. I bought these to use with Alexa which you can do but I thought I would be able to set them up with Alexa straight out of the box. They also took sometime to connect but once they were they work well.”
