With one spoken command, both lights turn on without me needing to touch anything: handy when returning to the kitchen with my hands full of plates after dinner. Saying: “Alexa, turn on the kitchen” activates both the switch and the light strip, which is installed underneath my cupboards.
Going a step further, I added a Tapo light strip to the same ‘Kitchen’ group as the switch in the Alexa app. In my case, I use Alexa and have the switch set up to respond to “Alexa, turn the kitchen light on”. Once connected to your system of choice, the switch can be controlled by speaking to a voice assistant. Tapo smart devices work with Alexa, Google Home, Apple Home, and IFTTT, the smart home automation platform. This all works well and is intuitive to set up and modify to fit your needs. There’s also an Away mode, where the switch turns on and off at random to simulate the property being occupied, and a timer function. This is also where you can configure a schedule for the switch, either to turn it on and off at specific times each day or to follow the day’s sunrise and sunset times. Once connected to the hub, the switch appears in the app and can be turned on and off with a tap. The free Tapo app is used to control the smart features of the switch. TP-Link understands your time is valuable and waiting for an agent to address your concern can daunting at times.
