TP-Link Tapo Matter Smart Light Switch: Voice Control w/Siri, Alexa & Google Home | UL Certified | Timer & Schedule | Easy Guided Install | Neutral Wire Required | Single Pole | Tapo S505(2-Pack)

TP-Link Tapo Matter Smart Light Switch – Voice Control with Siri, Alexa & Google Home This is another great piece of hardware in my TP-Link Tapo smart home setup. In my house these switches are used in places where dimming isn’t needed, such as ceiling fans, flood lights, and other fixtures that only require simple on/off control. I currently run a large Tapo ecosystem with more than 50 devices throughout the house including dimmers, switches, outlets, and plugs. These standard switches fit right into that system and have been very reliable. Setup through the Tapo app is simple and programming routines is straightforward. Once installed they integrate easily with the rest of the system and respond quickly to commands. I use them with Alexa for voice control, but the native routines inside the Tapo app are actually very powerful and work great for automations. The Matter support is another big plus since it allows local control and fast response times even if the internet connection drops. After about a year of use these switches have been stable and dependable just like the rest of my Tapo devices. And just for fun… Tapo, if you’re reading this—between Tapo, Kasa, and Omada gear I’ve probably spent a few thousand dollars building out this system!

Great looking, price is fair and they a wonderful app

Increíbles, elegantes de buen materiales y al ser matter funciona en Apple o cualquier otro asistente

I installed this 2‑pack of Tapo S505 smart light switches around my house and I’m really happy with how well they work. These switches let me control lights remotely via the Tapo app, or with voice commands using Alexa, Google Assistant, or Siri, which is super convenient when my hands are full. The Matter compatibility means they integrate smoothly with other smart home systems and work reliably even when the internet is down — local control is responsive and fast. The schedule and timer features are great for automating my lights, and setup with the app was straightforward (just make sure you have a neutral wire in the switch box). Overall these switches are a great value for making regular lights “smart”, and the 2‑pack gives you flexibility for multiple rooms. Perfect for anyone upgrading to a more connected home!

The switches were fairly easy to install. You may need to check the wiring at the old switch first to make sure you have access to the power, neutral and ground wires. Some older installations of light switches may not have the neutral at the light switch. This switch will not work in that case. Otherwise, installation was relatively easy and adding the Tapo app and programming it to both the Tapo app and Google Home was pretty quick and easy. In the Tapo app, you can set an away mode which switches the lights on and off at a random time intervals. In the google home app, you can use voice control to turn on and off the lights. You can use the new cover plate which is slightly larger than the regular plates. In the photo, I used my old plate to match the rest of the house. There are 2 tiny buttons at the bottom of the switch. One is for restarting or reboot. The other is for resetting or for reconnecting to a new wifi. All in all, a good device for some automation.
