These were an absolute breeze to set up automatically discovered by my Apple HomeKit app and identified correctly. I’ve been using them everything from turning lights on and off to turning music on before I go to bed. Definitely highly recommend. This is a reasonable three pack matter compatible, fast, efficient, and they just work.

Whether I want to turn my lamps on and off or set schedules, everything is just a tap away.

This review is for TP-Link Tapo Apple HomeKit Smart Plug Mini, Compact Design, 15A/1800W Max, Super Easy Setup, Works with Siri, Alexa & Google Home, UL Certified, 2.4G Wi-Fi Only, White, Tapo P125(2-Pack). I waited way too long to get this mini smart plug! I had a giant Century timer that used pins to set the timer and it worked fine but it’s just not as convenient and a hassle to set up. Out of the box, it was very easy to set these guys up. I just plugged each into the outlet and opened my Tapo app to add the devices. It took me less than a minute to set up each of them and I was off and running. These devices can also be updated to run the latest software, which is great! I used these smart plugs to schedule grow lights for my monstera and sansevieria plants. They work perfectly. The lights turn on and off when my other Aerogarden lights come on. I can set these to turn on and off using my location for sunset / sunrise or set my own custom schedule. There are so many options in the Tapo app as to how I want to run them. Note: Check to make sure that the electronic device can be left in an “On” state first before purchasing these mini plugs because some devices automatically default to the “Off” state when power is cut off and remain in the “Off” state until manually turned on. These plugs will not automagically fix that issue! I have several grow lights that are always in “Off” state even when power is turned back on and they will stay “Off” until I manually turn them on with their controller or buttons. I cannot use these mini plugs or any type of automatic timer for that matter with those grow lights. Overall, these are really excellent mini smart plugs. They hardly take up any outlet space, unlike my last timer, and they are very easy to set up and operate through the Tapo app. See their video on the product page on how to set up the plugs, if it’s not clear. However, I found it to be very easy and intuitive to set up. I would give these mini smart plugs a 5.0/5.0 - 10/30/2024.

I bought these to replace some older beefy Belkin WeMo outlets that were so bulky they covered up the second outlet. I choose these for their compact size and direct HomeKit compatibility, compared to my old WeMos that were connected via Homebridge. They’re very easy to setup in the Tapo app which discovers the device, added it to the app, updated the firmware and working within minutes. After you add them to the Tapo app, you can select them and add them to your Home app via the QR code. That process was also very straightforward and they were controllable via Siri and my Apple ecosystem as a whole both inside and away from home.Unfortunately they only stay connected for about 16-24 hours after which they disconnect from both HomeKit as well as the Tapo app. Unplugging and plugging them back into the wall got them back up in seconds, but must be done once to twice daily. I’m a network engineer and no amount of reconfiguring my network would keep these online, 16-24 hours is all I would get. So I setup the fourth outlet but this time only added it to Tapo, not HomeKit and that one plug never went offline while the other three were still a problem. So I searched the Homebridge plugins and they indeed have an up to date and maintained Tapo plug-in (homebridge-tp-link-tapo, added as a child bridge). So I reset the other three, added them all back to Tapo, skipping adding them to HomeKit directly, and added them via the plugin, and all four have been solid ever since and work perfectly in HomeKit via Homebridge now. I have a few HomeKit direct devices and none of them have any issues, so I don’t know if this is a flaw in HomeKit or the Tapo implementation but thank goodness for the Homebridge community.My main reason for these plugs are their compact size so I’m ultimately happy.

Works with Tapo app and Alexa. I use with Alexa. Easy to set up (make sure your device (cell phone on wifi) is within a couple feet for initial set-up. Mine all had firmware updates after set-up. I don't know how I survived without these! We use for plug-in lamps. You can name them, and also put into groups". Use Alexa voice command. Even our 4 year old granddaughter can use these. "ALEXA, DEN LIGHTS OFF". Or, "ALEXA, COUCH LIGHT ON" Absolutely recommended!

Worked well - easy to configuration - performance more consistent then Wemo plugs

Overall, I love these. I use them for the lights over my plants, and lights in our living room (because there's no light switch in the room). I've had no issues setting these up in the past, but for some reason lately, anytime I try to add one, it refuses to connect to wifi until I go into my router's setting and change our 2.4Ghz network's channel. After that, it connects almost instantly. I want to knock a star off for that, but it's possible that's an issue with our router, not these plugs.The Tapo app is really easy to use, and makes it simple to set the plugs on a schedule. You can choose either set times to turn the plugs on and off, or go based off sunrise and sunset. It's also easy to set up a routine so multiple plugs turn on/off at the same time (this is what we do for out living room). This can also be done in the Google Home app, but I like the interface through the Tapo app better. Will definitely be buying more of these or other Tapo products!
