The TL-TAPO-P100 Wi-Fi Smart Plug allows to control the devices connected to it using the mobile application. For the proper management of the device, it is necessary to install the TP-Link Tapo mobile application. Remote access to the device requires connection to a Wi-Fi network with Internet access and is implemented with the use of the TP-Link cloud. Local access to the device and its control is also possible, even when the Internet is down. In this case, the smartphone or tablet with the Tapo application installed must be in the same Wi-Fi network as the controlled device.

Beyond direct control, the device has the ability to program the on and off schedule, and in "Away Mode" it can simulate the presence of household members by turning on and off connected devices at different times. Voice control allows you to control the device via voice commands from Amazon Alexa or the Google Assistant (Internet access required).
