If the internet is out it will work as regular switches. They will have a blinking red wifi sign to show you the internet is down, but they will work normally. If I'm not wrong, they will keep the present state when the power cycle, or maybe off, I had some power outages and didn't have to walk around the house turning them off, but I'm not sure if the lights that was on remained on. But it will not wake you up in the middle of the night in case of outage.
Tp-Link is staying in business as far as I've read. Matter compliant devices should come out by the end of the year. I don't think they've announced if they're going to release their new products under Kasa or Tapo branding.
It's not clear why that's an argument in favor of buying these products, as that link implies all of them will become discontinued and/or obsolete, with uncertain support over the installed life of something like a switch.

It's not. I don't plan to buy anything else from TP-Link until the matter update. Local control is a huge bonus to me since we lose internet all the time.
I get no extra discounts with Amazon VISA at the checkout
I bought the mini 4pack with my Amazon Store Card. Its not an instant discount, it will be reflected on your statement. My order payment info says I earned 5% back and and additional 10% for using my prime card.
What is the difference between HS103P4 and EP10P4?
Thanks,
Main difference is the mini are smaller and don't stick out as much. That said the 103 have a light ring on the outside that shows you if it's on or not from any angle so if you want that light go for the 103, if you don't care about the light go for the newer ones as they are smaller (the button is recessed so you need to look at it directly to see the button light)

Your invoice or on your card statement? I bought this for BF at the $22.xx price. They didn't have the extra savings using your Amazon Prime card.

1. 2.4 Ghz radios are cheaper, keeping smart device prices lower.
2, WiFi smart devices don't need a whole lot of bandwidth/speed to perform relatively mundane tasks like clicking lights on and off on a schedule or when motion is sensed.
I have a dual band access point and the 2.4 Ghz band is exclusively for IoT devices with its own SSID and VLAN, isolated from my home network.
Of course you're getting down voted, Idiocracy here we come. You make a cogent argument but all the cretins hear are the noises the adults make in Charlie Brown. What a world.
