  • This is a quick simple review of the super affordable WiFi smart plug from TP-Link. It works really well and the Tapo app is really responsive.
    Tapo P100 works with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant.
    Sorry for the shaky hands and my English. Do let me know any feedback for this video below.

    That timer and schedule to turn on and off is what sells it for me. Great for radiator to turn off during the night or morning. Thx for the video.

    I need to come up with a way to start a hot water circulation pump by voice using a google device. The pump only needs to run for a couple of minutes. Can I use the timer feature to shut off the connected device after two - three minutes?

    i have a few of this as well. Had been using for a month. But i keep having timezone not sync issue(difference by 2mins behind daily). Did contact TP-Link about this, what they recommend is just to reset all my smart plug, or set to a different timezone and set it back to my country timezone through the KASA app(which i happen to their light bulbs). But after a few days later the same problem comes again.

    Got these smart plugs smart lights and CCTV outdoor camera yesterday in the prime Day sale they are so easy to set up also you can just ask Alexa to turn on your lights and check your CCTV camera I have the echo show and it's good to view the CCTV camera on the show rather than your phone 👍

    I have a question if someone could help me.
    If I set up the devices in the UK (UK time) and then travel to USA and open the App, how does the timings work? is it still UK? or does it use USA times?
    Thanks for your help in advance.

  • @wilbertng
    @wilbertng 3 роки тому

    These plugs doesn't seem to be accessible in the Tapo App when the Internet goes down even if the WiFi Router is still "on". So there is no LAN Control mode. As soon as the Internet goes down, I always get "Unstable Network" message and the plugs disappears from the App. If I re-run the Tapo App, I will then be asked to log in into the TP-Link Cloud but I cannot because there is no Internet. Is this normal?

    My Tapo P100 will turn on/off a small light no problem/ However, when I connect it to an extension cable it will turn off but not back on again. I am using well less than the 13 amps limit BTW. Does anyone know the solution to this problem?

    • @bobshifimods7302
      @bobshifimods7302 Рік тому

      Actually looking at the questions below I now have my answer. It's because it operates over wifi and my extension connects to my router. With the router off it can't be turned on again.

    На днях купил TAPO-100, и обнаружил, что для её работы нужен интернет, иначе приложение в локальной сети без связи с сервером не работает, даже пароль не помнит. Это значит, что в случае отсутствия интернета и наличия только локальной сети приложение работать не будет. При покупке я рассчитывал на возможность работы в локальной независимо от наличия интернета. Но ожидание не оправдалось, более того, владельцы сервера имеют возможность сбора информации об использовании мною розетки, а имея пароль могут вмешаться в работу устройства, перехватить его управление. Таким образом для ответственных потребителей изделия данной фирмы использовать рискованно, так как даже продав мне своё изделие они остаются его совладельцами.

      Dealing with an Internet provider you can ring them and ask them to manually split your router to detect 2.4 and 5g settings .They can do it over the phone for you foc.Alternatively you can log in to your router,go to manual settings,and do it yourself.So technically they are indeed useful!
