TP-Link Tapo Matter Smart Light Switch: Voice Control w/Siri, Alexa & Google Home | UL Certified | Timer & Schedule | Easy Guided Install | Neutral Wire Required | Single Pole | Tapo S505(2-Pack)

Really happy with this Tapo smart switch! Installation was straightforward, and pairing it with the app took just a couple of minutes. The switch feels sturdy, responsive, and looks sleek on the wall. App controls and schedule settings work flawlessly. Highly recommend!

Slowly replacing all the switches in our house with these. They connect super easy, the wiring on them is extremely straight forward. I'm having 1 issue with my bedroom, but believe that is the lightbulb issue, as the lowest brightness setting just turns the light off completely. They look great, the little light indicator on them is extremely useful for finding them in the dark, and I recommend them to everyone.

I just keep buying more of these. I can’t stand having to connect to an app for cloud usage of smart home stuff. That’s why I have Home Assistant and not Alexa or anything else mainstream. These work perfectly on local-only control through matter, zero issues and one of the easiest smart home devices to set up IMO. Oddly, to me, these switches all come with twisted wire coming out of the back of the body and use wire nuts for connection - no screwdriver needed other than installing them in the box (if you’ve got some extra wire, like me, just clip the wires from the old switches instead of removing screws - it’s much faster and clipping them gives a straight end so you don’t have to straighten a bend for the wire nuts or clip them anyway). Potential cons: Worst thing would be if you have crowded boxes, smart switches all take up more room than conventional switches. It’s possible your boxes will be over capacity depending on what you have. My wife complained about them early on, because they (and almost all smart switches) don’t work like conventional paddle switches. She didn’t like that you can only press the bottom of the switch to turn on or off, and wanted to be able to press the top for on and the bottom for off. It took me less than 24 hours to get used to it, but it did take her a little longer. She doesn’t complain anymore, but she wasn’t happy at the start! It helps that she can turn the light off without getting out of bed now…

Purchased a variety of Tapo smart switches (single pole, 3 and 4-way, dimmers) to replace stupid WEMO switches that were deprecated (class action lawsuit against belkin???). These were a quick and easy replacement for the Wemo switches and have the Matter option so even if TP-link shuts off their app like WEMO, they can still connect through Alexa/home hubs. They seem to be of good quality and thr app is great, including ability to monitor energy usage. After setup in the app, to connect with Alexa you go into the Tapo app, open the switch, click the gear, then get and copy the matter code. That is needed or thr QR code to add to Alexa. After adding to Alexa you can use the AI chat in Alexa to quickly setup rules (shut off the closet light after it has been on for 30 minutes) or (turn the fan on for ten minutes every hour between this time and this time on these days) and it quickly sets up the rules. That might have been the nicest part is easily replacing the Wemo rules I had spent time setting up. Definitely recommend these.

I recently installed the TP-Link Tapo S505 smart switches in my home, replacing an older 3-gang setup, and I’ve been really happy with how smoothly everything went. One of the first things I noticed is how much slimmer these switches are compared to older smart switches I’ve used. That might not sound like a big deal, but when you’re cramming three switches into one box with a bunch of wires, every millimeter counts. The reduced thickness gives you way more room in the back for wire management, which made the install way less stressful. And since they’re UL certified, I felt confident they’re safe to use without cutting corners. Wiring was surprisingly simple—especially the fact that either black terminal can be used for line or load. That’s a small but huge win because it means you don’t have to stress about matching the exact wire to the exact terminal. For someone who’s done a few DIY electrical jobs, that flexibility saves time and guesswork. The app setup was fast and intuitive, and within minutes, the switches were online and responding. I already use a bunch of TP-Link devices, so I’m familiar with their app, but even if you’re new, I think you’d find it straightforward. Bonus: once they were in the Tapo app, they showed up instantly in Home Assistant, which I use to control everything. No weird delays or pairing issues. The only thing to remember is that these need a neutral wire, so they won’t work in older setups that don’t have one. But if you’ve got the neutral, these switches are a solid choice—especially at this price. They’re reliable, responsive, and blend well into my smart home setup. I also like using the scheduling and timer features to turn lights on/off automatically.

TP-Link Tapo Matter Smart Light Switch – Voice Control with Siri, Alexa & Google Home This is another great piece of hardware in my TP-Link Tapo smart home setup. In my house these switches are used in places where dimming isn’t needed, such as ceiling fans, flood lights, and other fixtures that only require simple on/off control. I currently run a large Tapo ecosystem with more than 50 devices throughout the house including dimmers, switches, outlets, and plugs. These standard switches fit right into that system and have been very reliable. Setup through the Tapo app is simple and programming routines is straightforward. Once installed they integrate easily with the rest of the system and respond quickly to commands. I use them with Alexa for voice control, but the native routines inside the Tapo app are actually very powerful and work great for automations. The Matter support is another big plus since it allows local control and fast response times even if the internet connection drops. After about a year of use these switches have been stable and dependable just like the rest of my Tapo devices. And just for fun… Tapo, if you’re reading this—between Tapo, Kasa, and Omada gear I’ve probably spent a few thousand dollars building out this system!

I upgraded the original ceiling lights in my garage with LED shop lights. To not overload the circuits, I divided them into two banks. To make them more convenient, I replaced the two light wall switches with TP-Link Smart Light Switches. Installation instructions were clear. The wiring from the back of the switch were well-labeled. As manual light switches, they work fine. What's even better is setting them up with Alexa so I can turn them both on and off together by voice command. I also have a TP-Link camera in the garage that let's me check if I left the lights on and if so, I can tell Alexa to turn them off, even if I'm in the other side of the house or the other side of the state. Call me lazy or spoiled, but I like voice command-activate lighting and these switches are perfect for that.

Replaced an old digital timer light switch with this. This is sooo much better! Super easy to program the schedule, and I love the Tapo app, it’s very user friendly. Installation instructions were clear, too.

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 %.

Work well easy to install

Funciona muy bien con HomeKit y a su vez con Alexa, jamás he tenido un problema de desconexión y me agrada bastante el tacto que tiene y la vista que da, incluso tiene un led que está prendido cuando la luz está apagada y se apaga cuando se enciende la luz. lo único malo es que está pensado para los apagadores en USA, solo podrías poner uno xq ocupa toda la chalupa.

Muy bueno, se ve muy bonito. Luce y facilísimo de configurar

Excelente interruptor, fácil instalação
