Newer model is cheaper after $1 coupon: TP-Link Tapo Matter Smart Light Switch: Voice Control w/Siri, Alexa & Google Assistant | UL Certified | Timer & Schedule | Easy Guided Install | Neutral Wire Required | Single Pole | Tapo S505
I had these for about 6 months before they drove me insane:
Theres only one button, and it's at the bottom of the switch. If you press the top of the switch it does nothing. Unlike, you know, light switches.
That button is mushy. Once you're through the mush, there's a tactile click.
But the click is unrelated to the underlying operation, so it's possible to get the click without activating the switch.
This is compounded by a slight delay before the light come on, so you can't just breeze into a room and throw the lights on. You have to remember to hit the bottom of the switch, then remember that the click doesn't mean the lights will come on. Then wait a beat to see if they come on. Then maybe go hit the switch like you mean it.
Yeah, these are often half the price of some other options. Is that really worth having annoying light switches? It wasn't for me.
For the white switches, yes. For the black and light almond switches, pretty reasonable as people are willing to pay a bit of a price premium to match their decor.
