"I bought a range of Tapo smart switches and plugs for my home. I've been very happy with all of them. Except for some reason, the S505 seems to be the only Matter-compatible switch that does not support energy monitoring. I didn't realize that until after I bought it."
"Easy to set up. Replaced another make's switches. These are much more responsive, and take up a tiny bit less space in the junction box."
"I wasn't able to get this working with Matter, but it turns out my Apple TV wasn't compatible since I needed a newer one. Otherwise, this Tapo or TP-Link device worked well. Installation didn't take too long. Using the TP-Link app was a breeze to connect the device and integrating it with my smart devices worked well. My only wish was that I could set this up through Matter. One thing to note is that this switch doesn't toggle click into place. You press it and it springs back up like a keyboard key. There's a light that's constantly on, which is a nice touch, but it might annoy you if you like pure darkness at night."
"This switch looks the same as TP-Link's Kasa HS210 switch. The difference might just be different firmware (and perhaps a different internal radio). Given the similarity and the same manufacturer, it's annoying that these switches cost more than the Kasa devices. The switch works as expected with Home Assistant as a Matter device. I didn't test it with any cloud services."
"Not sure why tp-link came out with this new �series� of smart home devices. I love the Kasa series, have 20+ switches all round the house and loved the app too. While this one offers the same experience, I haven�t figured out a way to integrate this switch into the Kasa app or vice versa. This switch as a standalone is great, and I would recommend this to anyone looking into a smart home solution. But for those already on Kasa and loved the tplink products, maybe just get another Kasa switch. This one seems to be a different ecosystem than the Kasa ones."
"Easy to install and set up. This switch needs hot and neutral wiring. Not all the old setups have the correct wiring. I have to find a switch that has both wires in the box before replacing it."
"For anyone that enjoys home automation these smart switches are by far the best ones I�ve encountered. I�ve worked a lot in the industry with smart devices in My Home and other peoples homes and I�ve always chosen Kasa for my home. I was really excited to see these light switches now with matter support. For anyone that doesn�t know matter is a new protocol that will revolutionize smart home automation, making things easier to connect and speak to each other. I was excited to get this switch and quickly installed it. It runs as you would expect and gives you smart controls over any light switch you replace with it. At this price this is really a great bargain and agreed value. It�s a well-made light switch which is easy to install and is good quality. Highly recommend it if you�re in the market for something like this."
"Fairly easy install if you are used to replacing a switch. The set up was easy and works well with my google assistant. Quality you would expect from TP link."
"I am an electrician and I install a lot of smart switches and the TP-Link is hands down the easiest to program. The install is about the same as all the others, you will need a neutral wire which older houses may not have. Typically a switch takes me 9-12 minutes to install, and programing can take longer but with the TP it can be done in less than three minutes. The program consists of an app for your phone, and you will need to have access to the local wifi too, which some clients are weird about but if you can get it the install is smooth."
"This smart light switch has its pros and cons. On the positive side, the integration of Matter technology is truly groundbreaking and showcases promising advancements in smart home systems. However, it's important to note that this switch won't function properly in older buildings lacking a neutral wire. This limitation can be a dealbreaker for those with such setups. While the innovation is impressive, it's unfortunate that compatibility issues still exist for certain types of homes."
