About this item
- 【Matter: All-Round Compatibility】With Matter, users are no longer tied to specific platforms and works with all certified smart home platforms, such as Apple Home, Amazon Alexa, Google Home and Samsung SmartThings. You can control all your smart home devices from a single app, reducing the need for multiple apps for different devices.
- 【Matter: Smooth LAN Control】All Matter-certified devices in your local area network (LAN) will work smoothly even when your home internet goes offline. Matter allows effective communication directly between devices, without the need for a specific 'forwarding' device. For example, a Matter smart switch or sensor can turn on/off a Matter bulb directly without being connected to a cloud service, or other specific action. Once configured, communication and control between Matter devices can be achieved directly on the local network.
- 【Matter: Multi-Admin】Matter also allows you to control devices via multiple smart home systems at the same time through its Multi-Admin feature. That means you can turn on your lights from the SmartThings app on a Samsung smartphone, dim them by asking Alexa on an Amazon Echo speaker, and then turn them off from the Apple Home app on an iPad.
- 【Smart Dimming】Adjusting the light dimming range from 1% to 100% will be a breeze for you, whether you choose to do so by moving your finger up and down, through the app, or via voice commands.
- 【Easy Guided Install】Neutral wire is required for this standard wall plate size WiFi light switch. No need to understand complex switch wiring or master vs auxiliary switch configuration. The Tapo App guides you through easy step by step installation. Need 2.4GHz Wi-Fi connection.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Physical installation was very straightforward for me, with all the terminals and wires well-labeled to avoid confusion. Some have criticized the screw terminals, but I actually found them to make installation easier. Some other smart switches (looking at you, Lutron Caseta) have a bunch of wires coming off the back instead of terminals, which means you've got that much more to try to stuff back into your electrical box. With these switches I was able to leave the drops from the box at the appropriate length and had plenty of room to stuff things back in and install the switches. The housing also seems to be a little bit more compact than others I've tried, which makes getting everything into the box easier as well.
Little piece of advice: Complete your physical install up to putting the switches in the box, but don't put the wall plate on yet. The Matter setup codes are conveniently printed on the front of the switch, but they're completely covered when the wallplate is installed. Turn your breaker on so you can do the network setup, then you can install the wall plate.
The network setup, for me anyway, was a piece of cake. I went into the Alexa app (because these are Matter-enabled, there's no need to use the TP-Link app to set them up. The first one added right away, the second one required me to retry once, but then worked perfectly.
They've been working perfectly so far, my only gripe is that the dimmer turns off my lights before I'd like it to, but I think that's an issue with my bulbs, rather than the switch, since different LED bulbs have different thresholds for dimming. I plan to replace my current bulbs with Edison-style bulbs anyway, so I'll be sure to invest in some with higher compatibility with smart switches when I do.
All in all, I'd recommend these for anyone with matter-enabled smart assistants (which is most of the more recent ones these days). Setup was quick and painless, and even without the coupon they're less than $20 per switch, making them one of the most economical options out there that doesn't require Tuya.
The TP-Link (Tapo) dimmer here isn't quite as attractive as the Feit. It uses a weird UI where it looks like an always-on rocker that uses the “down” button for both on and off, has dimming buttons that go horizontal instead of vertical, and has a loud and cheap sound when pressed. This has been true of old TP-Link Kasa products, too. At least it doesn't have branding on it, same as the Feit. Both have a removable, proprietary faceplate that looks fine and snaps on and off. I’m glad that the switch itself doesn’t light up in the dark, as with the Feit (the Tapo has an ever-so-faint WiFi signal circle that isn’t intrusive).
Installing it was also worse than the Feit. The Feit has holes for wires to enter and lock down with screws. This TP-Link has jiggly, finicky little plates that the wires go under, and because the screws can come all the way out, the plates can, too, so you need to pay close attention. The Feit has holes for every wire needed, including extras, while the TP-Link requires (provided) wire nuts for both the Neutral and Ground. Both come with labels, and while the TP-Link labels are clearer they are also much larger and don't stick well.
The Feit has two screw options for attaching to the wall box, whether it’s small or large (I don’t know the standard measurements) and both are metal. The TP-Link has metal if you have a larger box, but plastic for smaller boxes. The smaller option does come with the option to adjust the screw side-to-side (the larger does not), which is useful if your box is not level. However, you need to be careful not to screw it in too hard, as the plastic is very soft and you can screw right through it. I think you could solve this with a couple of cheap metal washers, but it's definitely a design flaw. It's especially problematic if you're relying on the screws to keep the device flush with the wall, which is typical of these devices because they take up much more space than non-smart dimmers and it gets crowded with the cables, necessitating pressure from the screws.
My Google Home recognized the device right away (which was actually kind of annoying because I wanted to set up using Smartthings and the popup was intrusive). I was able to add it via Matter-over-WiFi and my Smartthings V2 hub, and it shows up in my linked Google Home. However, I did have to unlink Smartthings from Google Home, and then reauthorize it (“reconnect” alone did not work). This is a Matter problem, not really a TP-Link or Tapo problem. I had the same issue with my Tapo Matter smart outlet. Hopefully Matter fixes this in the future.
Because this is Matter-over-WiFi, a Thread border hub isn't needed, but I use a hub for tons of other things anyway. This is not a Thread device, so it won't build out any Thread network, but it will still work with Matter if you're OK putting it directly on the WiFi.
So far, it's working as it should. The switch works normally, and I haven't had disconnects. I did have disconnects with the Tapo Matter smart outlet, and those were solved by downloading the Tapo app and upgrading the device firmware, so I did the same preemptively for this dimmer. It's annoying that you have to download the Tapo app to get full functionality, but it's basically standard fare for smart devices at the moment, at least until Matter gets its act together. I just download the proprietary apps, get what I need from them, and delete them, preferring my Smartthings setup for smartphone control, and my Google Home for voice control.
This is a decent dimmer for the price, if you can live with how it looks and installs and the quirks of Matter in Dec 2023. If ever a Matter-over-Thread dimmer is released, and looks at all half-way decent, I’ll probably move to that. For now, this works and gets the Chinese spyware out of my house.

No tiene dimmer ni sensor de consumo.
Y lo peor si mantienes la atenuación en la mitad o menos, el control emite zumbido.
