This review is for TP-Link Tapo Apple HomeKit Smart Plug Mini, Compact Design, 15A/1800W Max, Super Easy Setup, Works with Siri, Alexa & Google Home, UL Certified, 2.4G Wi-Fi Only, White, Tapo P125(2-Pack). I waited way too long to get this mini smart plug! I had a giant Century timer that used pins to set the timer and it worked fine but it’s just not as convenient and a hassle to set up. Out of the box, it was very easy to set these guys up. I just plugged each into the outlet and opened my Tapo app to add the devices. It took me less than a minute to set up each of them and I was off and running. These devices can also be updated to run the latest software, which is great! I used these smart plugs to schedule grow lights for my monstera and sansevieria plants. They work perfectly. The lights turn on and off when my other Aerogarden lights come on. I can set these to turn on and off using my location for sunset / sunrise or set my own custom schedule. There are so many options in the Tapo app as to how I want to run them. Note: Check to make sure that the electronic device can be left in an “On” state first before purchasing these mini plugs because some devices automatically default to the “Off” state when power is cut off and remain in the “Off” state until manually turned on. These plugs will not automagically fix that issue! I have several grow lights that are always in “Off” state even when power is turned back on and they will stay “Off” until I manually turn them on with their controller or buttons. I cannot use these mini plugs or any type of automatic timer for that matter with those grow lights. Overall, these are really excellent mini smart plugs. They hardly take up any outlet space, unlike my last timer, and they are very easy to set up and operate through the Tapo app. See their video on the product page on how to set up the plugs, if it’s not clear. However, I found it to be very easy and intuitive to set up. I would give these mini smart plugs a 5.0/5.0 - 10/30/2024.

These smart plus were easy to add to Apple Home and they perform exactly as advertised. I find them will worth the money.

We use these automated devices to control accent/decorative lighting when we are home and to control various lamps to make the house look inhabited when we are away. I have only had these plugs for a few days so can not speak to the longevity issue. However, setup for use with the Apple Home Kit app was much easier than expected. I did not want to download the TP-Link app which apparently can be used to connect the plugs to Apple Home Kit. There are clear instructions included with the plugs for setup directly to Home Kit. I think that the key is to “reset” the plug prior to attempting to connect it to Home Kit. These plugs are smaller than the WEMO plugs that I have been using for many years. If the TP-Link plugs are as robust as the WEMO plugs have been in terms of staying connected to WIFI, consistently activating per schedule and long life span, these will be my new go-to devices for automating electrical outlets.

Terrifically useful and easy to install and use. User interface on the application is intuitive. Icons to indicate what type of appliances, lamps, power, etc., help identify the unit you want to power on or off. It appears you can time when items turn on and off. I purchased this item twice. It is indispensable for turning a lamp on that has no wall switch and is not near the room entrance. Without this item that would be a dark corner. This is an edit to my review. Although it didn’t appear immediately ads have become appearing when I turn on the app. This may become a dealbreaker in me, finding another smart technology. While turning lamps on and off, when they are hard to reach makes this an indispensable tool – the ads are a real detractor.

Setup takes some efforts but not that difficult. Your mobile phone now controls all lights, fans, etc,. Alexa/SIRI/Google can all be used to issue voice commands easily. Price is reasonable.

I bought these to replace some older beefy Belkin WeMo outlets that were so bulky they covered up the second outlet. I choose these for their compact size and direct HomeKit compatibility, compared to my old WeMos that were connected via Homebridge. They’re very easy to setup in the Tapo app which discovers the device, added it to the app, updated the firmware and working within minutes. After you add them to the Tapo app, you can select them and add them to your Home app via the QR code. That process was also very straightforward and they were controllable via Siri and my Apple ecosystem as a whole both inside and away from home. Unfortunately they only stay connected for about 16-24 hours after which they disconnect from both HomeKit as well as the Tapo app. Unplugging and plugging them back into the wall got them back up in seconds, but must be done once to twice daily. I’m a network engineer and no amount of reconfiguring my network would keep these online, 16-24 hours is all I would get. So I setup the fourth outlet but this time only added it to Tapo, not HomeKit and that one plug never went offline while the other three were still a problem. So I searched the Homebridge plugins and they indeed have an up to date and maintained Tapo plug-in (homebridge-tp-link-tapo, added as a child bridge). So I reset the other three, added them all back to Tapo, skipping adding them to HomeKit directly, and added them via the plugin, and all four have been solid ever since and work perfectly in HomeKit via Homebridge now. I have a few HomeKit direct devices and none of them have any issues, so I don’t know if this is a flaw in HomeKit or the Tapo implementation but thank goodness for the Homebridge community. My main reason for these plugs are their compact size so I’m ultimately happy.

Buen Funcionamiento, compatible con Apple Home, me cambiaron el Modem mi Compañía de internet y desde ahí he tenido un poco de problema para controlarlo con Apple Home pero con su app funcionan correctamente, siento que es mas bien que me ponga un día a borrar y reiniciar los dispositivos para volver a configurarlos Correctamente

Es muy practico tener contactos inteligentes. Normalmente enciendo los que requiero y apago los que no se necesitan por el momento, esto para ahorrar energía eléctrica. Los uso también para prender y apagar lamparas cuando no estoy en mi casa para que parezca que hay alguien en casa. No he explorado si tienen temporizadores, pero hay funciones que permiten administrarlos con un reloj, solo que aun no he llegado a ese punto, solo el modo manual. Faciles de configurar y practicos. Recomendados para comenzar a utilizar "Smart Things".

excelente calidad, muy recomendables

Súper funcionales los recomiendo

Había tenido los de Alexa porque usaba ese asistente pero cambié a los de Apple y la conexión es muuuy mala, una vez desconectado ya no me los enlaza y dice que pertenecen a otra casa, no puedo reiniciarlos, por fortuna compré más de 2 y tenía de “repuesto” si no, me quedaría sin enchufes. Si los quieres para usarlos con Apple home, no los recomiendo porque probablemente es el iOS, quizás con otros asistentes si funcionen mejor.
