QuestionDo i need a Google, ALexa, APple hub to use this, or can my smartphone and the app just connect directly to it via home WiFI network?
Asked 1 year ago by David.
- Answer Hi! No, those are all optional integrations and are not required for setup or use of this Tapo Smart Plug. Your smartphone, the Tapo app, and 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network with Internet connectivity in your home is all you need to set up and enjoy these smart plugs.

QuestionHave 12 Kasa smart plugs purchased 2022. Will Kasa app recognize new Tp-link plugs? Can they be grouped together?
Asked 1 year ago by JPH.
- Answer I had the same question, I wanted my existing Kasa app to work with these new Tapo plugs. However, the answer is NO. I tried, but the app can't 'find' these new plugs. BUT, the good news is you can link your existing Kasa plugs in the Tapo app using your existing Kasa account. After you log in, you just tap 'authorize' and ALL your existing plugs will link all at once! Then just tap the + sign to add your new plugs. From then on, there's no need to use the Kasa app.

QuestionDoes this work with 5G?
Asked 1 year ago by WilliamC.
- Answer This device requires a 2.4GHz band to be broadcasted. Most routers broadcast 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands even if you do not see them. If you do not have separate SSIDs for each band, you won't have a problem setting this up in the proprietary Tapo app. However, if you plan to use this with Homekit, connect your phone to the 2.4GHz band to complete the setup. To do so, you must either disable the 5GHz band, or lower the power with which it is broadcasted. After setup is complete, you can re-enable or restore full power to the 5GHz band. (It took me two days to figure this out.) I am unsure if the same trouble exists when adding to other Matter ecosystems.

QuestionCan I plug a 1500-watt heater (electric radiator) into this safely? Can it handle that much power?
Asked 1 year ago by MissJubilee.
- Answer Hi! The Tapo TP15 is rated for 1800W / 15A @120V. That said, please note that in some cases, the 1500W rating on space heaters designates their "steady state" power draw, but their startup power draw may spike significantly higher. We would recommend verifying the documentation of your space heater, or contact the manufacturer, to ensure it will not exceed the rating specificcations of this spart plug.

QuestionDo these TP15 plugs offer energy monitoring? Even with a firmware upgrade? Which tapo matter plugs offer this?
Asked 1 year ago by RD01.
- Answer No. Only the P110 and P115 models offer Energy Monitoring per https://community.tp-link.com/en/smart-home/forum/topic/586806 I bought these specifically for that feature and regret not doing more research.

QuestionDoes homekit integration require a hub?
Asked 1 year ago by jazzy.
- Answer No. Simply install the Tapo app, and so long as there's an encrypted 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network within range of the plug, you'll have everything you need to set it up.

QuestionIs this compatible with Halo Home platform? Is it dimmable?
Asked 1 month ago by Mickleton.
- Answer No. TP-Link's Tapo smart home products generally connect directly to 2.4GHz network of your home's router. We do also have products that support Matter. Matter allows you to use a controller like Alexa, or Google Assistant and control your home's smart products (that are compatible) through the controller rather than the product's native app.
