I wouldn't expect much of a saving if you only have a single appliance plugged into one but I have several of these in use with extension leads connecting multiple devices to save standby power. (TV/AMP/games console etc..)
I actually have Alexa routines configured so the smartplugs power off/on when activity is detected by my Ring Alarm motion detectors.

I tried both android and iOS phone but no success.Glad it wasn't just me then. I found they worked flawlessly with Alexa for about 4 hours then stopped working for no reason and no amount of trying could change that. Everything else connected to Alexa works like a dream though. Put me off their products for life.

Common cause for these stopping working is if you change the password in the Tapo app, if you change your Tapo app password you have to unlink/relink the Tapo skill with Alexa (edited)

I didn't change or do anything. They just stopped working. A few people on amazon report the same problem.

Works well with fairy lights and Alexa. There's a physical switch on the side so the plug can be switched on/off manually

Can they safely operate with how many plugs or total amps plugged in?

Also, what are alternative brands and features. Though 4 for £27 does seem good value. Surprised not hotter.

Think I will stick with my Kasa plugs. Pity they don't sell Kasa in the UK any more.

Another possible reason for it not working is if your broadband is 5Ghz.

Similar plug from Tenda is also on sale at £24.99/4-pack
amazon.co.uk/dp/…h=1
Tenda's one is rated at 10A while the P100 is rated at 13A. Aside from this I am interested to compare the user experience between the two.

What was the issue? Sometimes if you have separated 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz WIFI bands and your phone connects to the 5Ghz it may cause an issue as these will join the 2.4Ghz.

I have probably 8 or so of these installed and no issues. Even work in Home Assistant now as well as the app and Google Home/Alexa etc.

A shame TP-Link didn't merge Kasa and Tapo when they acquired them but I have a mix of Kasa and Tapo and with Home Assistant installed on a Raspberry Pi and Google Home it makes little difference to me which system they use now.

I have some Kasa plugs and they work fine. I also bought a Poundland one (for £5!) and it also seems to work fine, though it's another app to install on your phone. I use the SmartLife app rather than whatever it said on the box and it's all good. I control it via Google/Alexa and I don't see an advantage to the TP-Link ones now. Has anyone done a proper comparison?

I ordered a couple of these last time around. I've since been disappointed to find the Tapo app is a lot less connected than the Kasa app. I was hoping to use NFC tags to act as switches, but I don't think it'll be achievable with these, as they don't work with IFTTT etc.
I'd be happy to be corrected on this!

How do you do the alexa routine to turn on plugs when ring detects? Like you get it to automatically put on house lights?

Yes. Ring Motion detector sees movement between set hours and turns on the smartplug

I'd hazard a guess that ZigBee or zigwave sockets would use a lot less power than a WiFi enabled device.

WiFi is over the top for just a simple on and off switch IMO.

Can you connect to the socket remotely if it’s zigbee/zigwave?

So they do. Got more expensive, paid £8.99 each in November 2021. Now double the price.
