Overall, it is a device that works as it should.
I have created an application:
http://alexander.agathos.net.gr/tapo.html
It allows you to see in real time the power you consume in all your Tapo sockets from your computer.
I have also installed a Geti power meter and they show approximately the same readings with a difference of +/- 3 Watts. So it is an accurate and affordable product.

When it's working, it's a very good product, statistics, connection with Google, everything.

The issue is that in 2 sockets, the on/off has broken. Even when the socket is closed, either from the switch or from the application, it still draws power normally. There are many reports about this on the TP-Link website.

You want a socket to be reliable and unfortunately, this one doesn't seem to be.

  They have been very convenient for me, besides the fact that you can schedule when they will work, they also measure the consumption so you can roughly calculate the daily/monthly consumption!

  Very good choice for measuring power consumption and getting an idea of how much electricity your devices actually use (computer, air conditioner, television, up to 3.5kW). It also obviously allows remote control of the switch through the tapo app.

  This review is about the software version: v1

  Just what I needed, they fit perfectly for the Christmas lights, I had programmed them for opening and closing! Overall, they have made my life easier. As for its durability, I already have one in a shop for about 8 months where I have placed a Scotsman ice machine on it, it holds it without overheating, and that was also the reason I preferred it for the lights in the house

  It does its job as it should quickly and efficiently, generally all these devices require you to disable the 5GHz band from the router's Wi-Fi to connect to the socket. You activate it again once it's connected and everything works perfectly.

  Great. If you catch it on sale, even better. They do their job without issues. They connect easily to the phone and the app is quite well-made.

  They also work perfectly with Home Assistant. From what I understand, you need to connect them to the phone first for the initialization (or something like that), but after that, they work locally, so the response to commands is quick.

  Very good, especially considering its low cost for its type. It does everything and is worth it! However, if combined with a smart hub or other smart devices from the company, its usefulness skyrockets.

  I got it to turn on the outdoor lights from my phone with the app for Christmas, so I wanted to, but I ended up having them on an automatic schedule and now I don't even go outside in the cold to turn the lights on and off. I don't do anything from my phone anymore either; the nice thing about it is the live consumption and generally how it has been and is in watts and the kilowatt-hours it has consumed.

  This review is about the software version: v1

  Overall, I have purchased 12 for both the house and the vacation home. It does exactly what it says it does and it does it very well. I am impressed with the quality of the WiFi signal. Especially in the basement of the vacation home, I have placed one in a spot where mobile phones have no signal, and this one picks up a signal and provides measurements without any issues. The only drawback, which other buyers have also mentioned, is that some of them "freeze" and get stuck. Then the only solution is to turn them off and on again. In my main residence, it is not a problem, but in the vacation home it is a serious issue because by the time several months pass until I go back, I have no measurements. However, I noticed that not all of them have the problem, but only some specific ones. That is, out of the 12, 3-4 exhibit the problem while the others have never done so. Given that they all have the same firmware version, I assume that they are probably from the same production batch that had the same hardware failure.

  Guys, I don't know what's going on with the reviews, but the plugs never worked for me, unlike the cameras from the same company. They connect and then after a day they're offline. Every day for a month I've been putting them in and they go offline after half a day. The worst thing I've ever bought, and I had high hopes for the TP-Link

  One star because there is no 0. It does not work for measuring consumption, even though I upgraded the software. It only does start and pause. Stay away.

  This review is about the software version: v1

  I have been using them for about 2 months to record the consumption of various devices (TV, computer, washing machine, refrigerator) through custom integration in Home Assistant. They haven't had any issues and their measurements are on par with other devices that measure consumption. One downside is that they require internet (communication with the tp-link cloud) to provide measurements, so if someone wants to cut off their internet for security reasons, it's not that simple.

  This review is about the software version: v1

  I have two of these.
  As long as they work properly, they are excellent, hence the many good reviews here.

  However, the bad news comes over time after use.
  So, within 1 year, the on/off switch broke: It doesn't turn off, neither from the app nor if you press the button on it.

  The exact same thing happened to the second one in the 2nd year.
  Searching the internet about this issue, I found out that it is known and many people are facing it, so it is clearly a matter of poor build quality and reliability.
  Therefore, anyone who wants to set a program on/off should avoid it because sooner or later it will break and they will have to buy another one.
  The others who just want to browse the app for consumption can buy it without worry.

  This review is about the software version: v1

  As a friend mentioned below, when it works, it is very good. Unfortunately, I will confirm that the on-off function breaks. That is, it passes current continuously whether it is on or off. I have 2 devices and both have broken twice, and I go and make replacements. The only positive is that it has a 3-year warranty. Now, as a device, it is really very good. It measures the current and turns devices on and off, either with a program or manually. This way, you have complete control over your devices. It is very helpful that you can also control it with your voice via your mobile phone. A very good device as long as it doesn't break down on me again.

  As a switch, it works excellently. Easy connection with the app, very reliable operation. Immediate response, you press ON and the switch turns on at the same moment with zero delay. Very easy setup for timer, schedule, etc. One annoying thing with all smart switches is compatibility with other systems, platforms. Essentially, there is no compatibility. I think it connected with Samsung's Smart Things but the functionality was very limited.
  Now let's talk about energy and power measurement. I believe the power readings are quite accurate, matching the specifications of several devices. Where I was disappointed is the power graph. In the photo, it is not a cardiogram; it is the power drawn by my refrigerator over a 24-hour period. The graph looks nice, but if someone zooms in, they will see that it records power measurements every 5 minutes, tragic. While on the screen, the power value updates every 2-3 seconds. So the graph, for some reason I don't understand, is very coarse, and of course, I have no trust in the energy measurement (kWh). I have a hidden hope that this will improve in some future update.

  I got it for the air conditioner, to see how much it burns. And if I burn it correctly and I don't have it on low and it burns the air conditioner for free with the same results and more kilowatts.
  Awesome machine for what it is intended for.
  At 28 that I burn it, my old 9000 btu air conditioner burned 600 watts per hour because it reaches temperature. As consumption, the air conditioner burns 800 watts per hour. Very good
