    This is the 2nd or 3rd time I have bought these dimmers. They are easy to install, work great, and connect to Home Assistant automatically. Smaller buttons let you control dimming, and you can calibrate the levels for different bulb types with the app. The switch is a little bulky so you will need deep box to install it in, and they only come in white but of course the rest of my house is beige, lol, but otherwise great.

    As a dimmer switch it works fine but I have yet to get this switch to work with Siri. Maybe it's me but I've tried everything. Pretty disappointed with it.

    The smart switch is great. The installation was fairly easy, tight fit with all the the wires in a 2 gang box but after some rearranging and consolidation I was able to fit this in as well as a non-dimmable switch on the other gang. I removed the face plates and used a 2 gang face place. The setup was so easy. Not one issue came up either the setup which is refreshing. The app is easy to use. The dimming is nice and smooth. The switch itself could be made of thicker plastic (told the kids to press it lightly) and there could be metal reinforcement at the mounting holes so you don’t crack it if over tightening (the mount holes for the face plate are reinforced with metal). Overall, I’m very satisfied so far. Will setup with HomeKit at some point and can’t wait to try out Away mode. TP Link needs to make a 3-way switch version. Nearly all switches in my home are 3-way.

    Tapo Smart Switch That Matters

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Have used TP-Link Smart Switches on a few homes, however this was my first experience with TP-Link "Tapo with Matter" ..., and I LIKE IT. IMO, the Android Tapo App and Tapo devices links up faster than standard TP-Link stuff. After a while, the Tapo Matter app also found legacy TP-Link equipment. Additionally, after rebooting my smart system post storm power loss, everything linked back together up nicely. My chief complaint is how the Tapo App jumbles all the device icons on the home screen. It's nice to see all devices there, but too easy to select the wrong item with big thumbs on a standard phone screen.

    I recently switched to the Tapo smart devices and like the solid build quality. The dimmer switch works exactly how it should. Easy to configure and use. I specially like the gradual dimming function where it dims the lights on/off gradually. So when I turn off the lights, instead of instantly turning off, the lights gradually dim for 3 seconds before going completely off. You can adjust how quickly it dims from 1 second to 60 seconds.

    A Game-Changer for Smart Lighting!

    I recently upgraded my home's lighting system with the Tapo Smart WiFi Light Dimmer Switch, and I must say, it has truly transformed the way I experience lighting in my living space. Here's why I'm giving it four stars: 1. **Easy Installation: ⭐⭐⭐⭐** The installation process was surprisingly straightforward. Even for someone with limited electrical expertise like myself, the step-by-step instructions and included hardware made it a breeze. I had it up and running within 30 minutes. 2. **Intuitive App Control: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐** The accompanying mobile app is user-friendly and offers a wide range of features. I can easily adjust the brightness levels, set schedules, and even create different lighting scenes for various occasions. The ability to control the lights remotely adds a level of convenience that I didn't realize I was missing. 3. **Compatibility and Integration: ⭐⭐⭐⭐** This dimmer switch seamlessly integrates with popular smart home ecosystems like Alexa and Google Assistant. The compatibility is a huge plus, as I can now incorporate it into my existing smart home setup without any issues. The responsiveness to voice commands is particularly impressive. 4. **Sturdy Build and Design: ⭐⭐⭐⭐** The build quality of the switch itself is commendable. It feels sturdy and well-made, and the sleek design adds a touch of modernity to my home decor. The touch-sensitive controls are responsive, and the LED indicator is a helpful visual cue for the current dimming level. In summary, the switch has significantly enhanced my home lighting experience. While it may not be perfect (hence the four-star rating), its overall performance, ease of use, and integration capabilities make it a fantastic addition to any smart home. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to upgrade their lighting system and enjoy the benefits of smart home technology.

    I bought these for my kids room and and mostly pleased. The switches are pretty bulky, so you'll need deep box to fit the control and wires. Very challenging in a 200 year old farmhouse. The dimming is easy to calibrate and lets me set a wind-down schedule to ease the kids into sleep mode. I have generally liked TP-Link products, they are well made and function great.

    Good switch marred by poor setup and accessibility

    From a functionality standpoint, the switch works well with Apple's HomeKit. The install could've gone much better, and their app is not very accessible. When we went to install it, the documentation really wanted you to create an account with them, a process that was long and painful, made worse by the app not working with VoiceOver. I'm visually-impaired and it took my spouse and her good vision to get the job done, which is not something I expect when operating in the Apple ecosystem. It looks like TP-Link used a universal app development platform (iOS and Android), so it works poorly with Apple's assistive features. We went that route, because despite mention of HomeKit, we did not find the setup code anythware until after we were done and pretty annoyed that there was no support, when the little sticker slid out of the box where it had been stuck, with the backing partly peeled off. It looked very much like an afterthought. Most vendrs at least put the code on an easy-to-find card. (In addition, the app's "calibration" feature for dimming would not work. No matter how hard we tried, but luckily it seems to work fine anyway.) Once we put it in the Home app, it's worked very well. It responds to Siri, and makes life much easier. So, overall it works well, but the setup process and the app need works.

    Needed to replace a dimmer switch for the kitchen recessed lights (a combination of old PAR30 halogen/LEDs, and modern screw-in retrofit LED's flat panels. I was persuaded by the price, brand, Wi-Fi capabilities, and positive reviews. Thought that installation could be challenging, but it actually was equal to an old-fashioned light switch; and the Wi-Fi/app. programing was intuitive and easy.
