- Works with Apple Home, Alexa, Google Home and SmartThings via Matter
- Devices stay connected on your LAN even when the internet drops

Matter-Compatible Smart Switch Pair
The TP-Link Tapo S505 two-pack brings Matter-certified light switches to a household that wants unified control across Apple Home, Amazon Alexa, Google Home and Samsung SmartThings. Each unit replaces a standard wall switch and connects to a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network for setup through the Tapo app. Multi-admin support lets several platforms manage the same switches simultaneously without extra bridges.
Sustained Local Operation
Once configured, the switches communicate directly over the local network using Matter, so lighting routines continue even when the internet connection drops. The app-guided installation walks through wiring steps and network pairing, keeping the process consistent for both units in the pack. Voice assistants remain available for hands-free toggling whenever the LAN is active.
Upgrade From Standalone Smart Plugs
Builders replacing individual Wi-Fi plugs or single-protocol switches gain a single ecosystem that does not rely on cloud relay for daily operation. The jump is worthwhile when a home already uses multiple voice platforms and needs local fallback, but the switches require neutral-wire lighting circuits and a 2.4 GHz band, so homes without those wiring conditions cannot use them.

Questions about this item
Does the Tapo S505 generate noticeable heat or draw much power when left on continuously?
The plug itself consumes very little standby power and stays cool during normal use; only the attached appliance determines heat and draw.
What must I already have at home for the Tapo S505 to work?
A 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network and a smartphone with the Tapo app are required for setup and daily control.
Will the Tapo S505 work alongside my older smart-home hub and existing automations?
Yes, Matter support lets it join Apple Home, Alexa, Google Home or SmartThings simultaneously, so legacy scenes and voice commands continue unchanged.
