My smart home life became so much better once I swapped out my old light switches for Tapo ones. The benefits were many, including that I no longer had to get off the couch to turn off the lights\u2014great in the winter when I was already cozy under the blankets!<\/p>\n

While the exact model I have isn\u2019t on sale, a similar one is: TP-Link\u2019s Tapo S505. Today, you can get this 2-pack for $20 on Amazon<\/a>.<\/p>\n

These light switches are actually more versatile than the model I have, as these are Matter-compatible. That means you can seamlessly integrate them with whatever smart home system you have, whether that\u2019s Google Home, Amazon Alexa, Samsung SmartThings, or Apple Home. And Matter enables smooth local network communication, ensuring your switches still work even if your internet goes down.<\/p>\n

Designed for everyday use, these smart light switches are easy to integrate into your daily routines, and the Tapo app is intuitive to use. Once you\u2019ve set everything up, all you have to do is ask your smart assistant to turn on or off the lights\u2014and it will!<\/p>\n

Note that this smart light switch model needs a neutral wire, so if your electrical system doesn\u2019t have one, this model won\u2019t work for you. And if you\u2019ve never dealt with electrical work before, you should hire a professional to install these. You know, for safety reasons.<\/p>\n

At $20 for a 2-pack, these smart light switches aren\u2019t too expensive and a great way to level up your home. Get \u2019em on sale while you can!<\/p>\n
