Tapo nailed it the button.I've tried so many different smart switches, needed something to work with alexa routines and home assistant but all have been tricky to set up and unreliable. something that should be so easy so many smart home companies got it wrong.Tapo have created a product that is reasonably priced , stylish , easy to set up, rotate , click and double click functions , reliable and works with alexa and home assistant. these will be my go to smart switches.well done tapo.

The Tapo Smart Button is a brilliant little device! It makes controlling my lights so much easier—no need to pull out my phone or shout at Alexa. I love that I can customise it with single, double, or long presses to trigger different actions. Setup was quick using the Tapo app, and it's been really reliable. It’s compact, responsive, and perfect for placing anywhere in the house. A great smart home addition that just works!

As the title suggests, my experience with this smart switch has been excellent, it is lightweight, portable and has excellent features.Because it connects over wifi, it can be taken and used anywhere in your house with wifi coverage.If you don't have kids or your kids are 15+ the these smart switch's are perfect for upgrading your house to smart devices.My personal setup is tapo smart dimmable bulbs and this button and it works flawlessly.There's a second or two of delay between pressing the button and the light turning on, but I've actually come to appreciate this feature as it allows me to get further before the light goes out 😂Appearance : Small round white button with rotary function for dimming smart bulbs.Houses with kids under 15:If you have kids that are under 15,heavy handed, get up regularly throughout the night or have anger issues then this is not the button for youKids generally don't care about application of force on light switches and the like, so this button got damaged very quickly between my stepsons anger issues and his nephews autism(liked to play with the button, spamming it hard). The button sometimes doesn't register button presses but instead registers it as rotary button presses, which can be an issue as you recieve complaint that the light isn't working.If you want a more durable switch try the tp link tapo smart switches, they run on batteries and works with all wiring configurations.Rating for childless houses : 5/5Rating for houses with kids : 4/5Value for money - childless houses : 5/5Value for money - houses with kids 3.5/5

This is very easy to set up and install, it's the size of a normal dimmer switch and is simple to use - we have it for 2 smart bulbs outside our back door and the base plate has stuck nicely to our kitchen wall, it fits right in. You can adjust the brightness and the action is almost instantaneous. The hardest bit is getting it added to wifi but if you have any tech savvy at all it's a breeze.

Works with Alexa better if you have one of the cheap hubs so you can map the buttons better have been looking for a while for a cheap button that fully works with Alexa there’s not many out there

These are inexpensive, well made and quite attractive devices that work well for the most part, but there is an additional initial cost because you must also buy a hub, although this is a once-ever purchase.Setup was straightforward and I was able to easily control some TP-Link Tapo lightbulbs.So far, so good - but any potential purchaser needs to consider a few drawbacks. The most significant of these is that they must have an internet connection to work, despite using their own RF wireless connectivity that works independently of your home wifi. This means that these switches don't work if your internet is down, although you can always revert to using your original dumb light switch as you did in the old pre-smart days.I installed this setup for a disabled friend as it seemed a no-brainer solution to his mobility problems - he is wheelchair/bed-bound. All was well until he suffered a couple of brief power cuts which disabled the TP-Link hardware and I had to visit to reset and relink everything again - this means that resilience isn't a strong feature. This wouldn't matter to me, but it was a real problem for my friend who had no chance of repairing his setup.I bought the buttons with the TP-Link wall-mounting plates that the buttons fix to by magnetism. This seems like a good idea, but this magnetic link can fail - if the button slides diagonally, which it can easily do, especially if the user is elderly or clumsy, the button will just fall off the plate. I had to fashion a homemade retaining border to prevent the button from sliding around. To clarify, sliding the button vertically or horizontally causes a fairly strong self-centering effect because of the way the magnetic fields interact, but diagonal movement can nullify this action as it causes the fields to be misaligned. This is not an issue if the user is careful and able-bodied.And finally, access to the battery compartment is via a fiddly cover on the rear of the switch. This means that you can't really mount it, other than by magnetism - this might be an issue for some.I hope that this review is helpful to some potential users.

I use this smart button to control two Tapo bulbs in a room where the original light switch is located in a really awkward to reach spot behind a storage shelf. The button is small enough that it can be mounted pretty much anywhere, but not so small it gets lost. Super easy to set up. The dimming function is very useful.

Great little item to add to my collection
