TP Link sockets and Tapo sockets

peteb2 · 2019-12-03 14:11:15

So I've a few TP link sockets and now amazon is telling me that Tapo is the new version of these. Also made by TP Link. But there is a different app to Kasa for some reason. does any one have one of these Tapo plugs yet and do each app recognise the other sockets if you get me?

Its a chepaer version with less features, eg. no IFTTT.

The Kasa ones are still on the market & I'd guess they aren't gpoing anywhere.
