The Tapo P105 is a ultra-compact mini smart Wi-Fi plug from TP-Link's Tapo line, supporting up to 15 A/1800 W loads and controllable via the Tapo app, voice assistants and Bluetooth-only setup.
Customers generally express satisfaction with the plug's reliability, straightforward setup, and compactness, but many wish it included energy monitoring and broader Wi-Fi compatibility.
Professional reviewers commend the plug's slim profile and straightforward Bluetooth setup, noting its seamless fit within the Hue ecosystem and strong voice-assistant support. However, they criticize the reliance on a separate Hue Bridge for any advanced automation, the lack of detailed textual instructions, and the absence of energy-monitoring features.
Everyday users appreciate the plug's unobtrusive design, easy pairing, and reliable voice control, often highlighting its Matter support as a future-proof benefit. Common complaints revolve around the necessity of a Hue Bridge for full functionality, confusing picture-only manuals, and occasional Bluetooth connectivity limits.
