Tapo S220 Smart Light Switch 2 Gang 1 Way Smart Switch, Hub Required

I bought the switch to replace a broad link switch that has always been faulty right out of the box. Super easy to fit. Do you need to make sure you’ve got a deep box as the back of the fitting is quite large but once fitted works like a dream every time.

I recently installed the Tapo Smart Light Switch, and I couldn’t be more pleased with it. This smart switch has truly transformed my home lighting experience. First off, the setup was a breeze. The Tapo Smart Light Switch comes with clear instructions, and the entire installation process was straightforward. It connected to my Wi-Fi network effortlessly and synced with the Tapo app without any hiccups. The app itself is user-friendly, making it easy to control the switch remotely and set schedules. The value for money is outstanding. For a relatively affordable price, you get a smart switch that offers reliable performance and a range of features. The ability to control my lights from anywhere, schedule them, and even use voice commands with smart assistants makes this switch a fantastic addition to my home. One thing to note is that you’ll need a neutral wire for installation, which is common for smart switches. Also, depending on your setup, you may need a control module if you’re integrating it with existing systems. However, the benefits of having a smart, controllable light switch far outweigh these minor considerations. In summary, the Tapo Smart Light Switch is an excellent investment. It’s easy to set up, offers great value for money, and provides enhanced control over your home lighting. If you’re looking to upgrade to smart home technology, this switch is a fantastic choice. Plus, Amazon’s efficient service made the purchase process smooth and hassle-free.

I have fitted half of the lamps in my flat with Tapo GU10 and E27 Multicolor bulbs. Since the other half doesn't need RGB, I bought this £16 switch instead of wasting £50 on new bulbs just for the smart feature. The switch works as intended, however there is a slight delay in toggling the lights compared to the Tapo smart bulbs. I disagree with one of the other reviewers claiming the need to hire an electrician for slightly more complicated pre-existing wiring. However the installation instructions could be greatly improved upon by providing wiring diagrams of common switch circuits and how those translate to the S220. Perhaps they would have then realized that the S220 is not suitable for their 2-way switch. That being said I recommend everyone to examine their wiring (after flipping the corresponding circuit breaker switch) and to compare it with the installation instructions PRIOR to purchasing. I am a confident DIYer, albeit admittedly slow to understand electrics. It took me well over an hour to figure out how to install this switch, since I didn't know what a loop-in was and the instructions don't specify whether you are allowed to insert two wires into a single terminal. Some hints for those facing the same predicament: - The S220 only requires a single Lin, so you can't/needn't bridge the A/Com1 and B/Com2 terminals. Just connect the live wire that previously went into A/Com1 to Lin. - If your switch has a loop-in (live wire entering A/Com1 and another exiting B/Com2 as shown in pic 1+3) then you must connect both to Lin as shown in pic 2*. I recommend marking the loop-in wire with some electrical tape for the next time you change the switches. Lastly, the installation kit included a pair each of black and silver 40mm (?) electrical screws to attach the switch to back/pattress box. Unfortunately my box is recessed, meaning the provided screws were too short and I was additionally unable to reuse my existing screws due the slight addition in plate thickness. I would much prefer screws of different/greater lengths to be included, since they can be shortened with a pair of wire cutters. * I trimmed the copper wires, so that they aren't exposed, after taking this picture. I also removed the painters tape labels as it might pose a fire hazard.

Very happy with these switches. Easy to fit and set up with the hub. One thing I would say is, take the time to deepen the cut out for your back box. Adding spacers are a quick fix but ugly. It's a simple process to deepen the cut out. Drill a bunch of holes in the brick and go at it with a chisel. It added an extra 20-30 minutes to the install for me but the finish is so much more professional. Also, if you only have a single switch you're replacing, consider whether you'd benefit from having this 2 switch. I replaced the switch for the ceiling lights (1 switch, wired in). The second switch I didn't wire anything in at all.. I added an automation in the app, when the second switch is pressed, it turns on/off an LED light strip. It's great way to add extra functionality to the wall switch without having to add additional wiring. Though remember, if you're using this switch to control something that isn't wired directly to it, there will be a momentary delay while it asks the hub to do its thing. Wired in lights are instant. No flickering at all, if you have flickering the load is too small. Matter compatible, so you can control it with other Matter enabled ecosystems. It's a great and inexpensive way to add smart lights without wasting time with silly smart bulbs.

Easy to setup reliable smart Wi-Fi switch it does the job appearance doesn't matter to me as it's more important using the functions and facilities on the app which controls it via the hub

These smart switches were perfect for my desired use. They do require batteries though since my electric don’t support live wire smart switches but it was a great buy regardless.

This is not what i thought - it has a huge lump on the back so you need to put it in a wall box, you cant stick it on the wall for instance. Switches do what supposed to - just doesn't fit with my expectation. No mention of a huge chunk on the back on the blurb. Including a pic of this to help others.

You need to buy a hub with this switch, but I'm hoping i can add to the hub in future. The switch is easy to fit just three connections L1, L2 and LIVE. The switch has 2 aaa batteries. It was pretty easy to get it operating. But take your time and be prepared to repete the tapo instructions a few times. I was a bit worried when I first looked at getting these, but as a 72 year old I found it pretty good. Very happy with switch and setting up the schedules for on/off timing.

Doesnt work with australian tapo ecosystem as itf from the uk
