Tapo Matter Outdoor Smart Plug, 2 Individual Outlets, P400M

I purchased the TP-Link Tapo Matter Outdoor Smart Plug specifically to control the automatic RO water top-off system for my shrimp aquariums, and it has worked extremely well for this purpose. Being able to control the outlets remotely through the Tapo mobile app gives me much more flexibility and peace of mind when I am away from home. The two outlets can be controlled individually, which is one of the most useful features. I can connect separate devices and turn each outlet on or off without affecting the other. The Tapo app is easy to use, responds quickly, and lets me confirm the status of each outlet before making any changes. I also use a Tapo indoor camera to monitor the aquariums, so I can visually check the tanks and then operate the RO water top-off system from the same app. The setup is so convenient and satisfying to use that I sometimes control the water top-off system through the app even when I am at home. It is much easier than going directly to the equipment, especially when I only need to run the system briefly or verify that everything is operating correctly. The plug itself feels sturdy and well made. The IP65 weather-resistant design is another advantage because it provides additional protection in areas where moisture or occasional splashes may be a concern. This is especially important around aquariums and water-related equipment, although I still keep all electrical connections positioned safely away from direct water exposure. Overall, this smart plug has become an important part of my aquarium setup. The independent outlets, reliable remote control, easy Tapo app integration, and durable outdoor design make it much more versatile than a basic smart plug. I would highly recommend it to aquarium keepers or anyone who needs dependable remote control of pumps, lights, outdoor equipment, or other devices.

I needed to put a ceramic heat lamp in my well to keep it from freezing when the temps dropped into teens and single digits. The simplest solution to provide power to that lamp during the few months of the year when it's needed was to run a heavy-duty outdoor extension cord from a GFI outlet on my covered porch to the lamp. The thing is, it only needed to run during the night--temps got up enough during the day that it didn't have to be on. The TP-Link Tapo P400 was the perfect match for what I needed. The Tapo plug is very sturdy, very well-built with good covers over the outlets. It's IP65 rated, so it's good for outdoor use--but you don't want to leave it fully out in the rain on or the ground. It has 2 outlets, each of which has its own manual on/off switch and each of which can be configured using the Tapo app (more on that below). It's also capable of handling a nice load -- 1800W / 15A / 1/2hp motor. Setup using TP-Link's Tapo app was quick and simple. Just install the Tapo app, plug in the outlet, and follow the prompts. You can set up a schedule with multiple turn on/off events at specific times on specific days--I can see how that can be useful for a variety of situations. The fact that the plug has 2 outlets which can be scheduled independently makes that even more useful. One thing that's especially nice for my specific situation is that you can set on/off events based on the sunset and sunrise. For example, if I know it won't be cold enough to need the lamp until at least an hour after sunset, I can tell it to turn on an hour after sunset...and the Tapo app will use my location to adjust the time accordingly. Same for sunrise. You can tune that to a very fine degree--a number of hours and minutes before or after either sunrise or sunset. That would also be a great thing to have if you wanted to turn lights on and off. Another thing that's useful is that I can connect the unit to the TP-Link remote server so that I can turn the outlets on and off when I'm away from home. I'm very pleased with this, exactly what I needed!

I'm extremely impressed with this Matter outdoor smart outlet. From the moment I plugged it in, the setup process was incredibly smooth and simple, easily one of the quickest smart home additions I've ever made. A standout feature for me is having two distinct outlets, which can each be controlled completely independently. This level of flexibility is fantastic for managing different outdoor lights or decorations without needing multiple devices. The fact that it operates using Matter over Wi-Fi is a huge plus, ensuring broad compatibility and a straightforward connection. What truly makes this device a winner in my book is its seamless integration with Home Assistant. It connected without a hitch and has been performing perfectly, allowing me to manage my outdoor setup exactly as I want. There's no need to download or use any additional manufacturer's app; everything works directly through Home Assistant, which is a major convenience. If you're looking for a dependable, easy to configure outdoor smart outlet, especially one that plays nice with Home Assistant, I highly recommend this one. I'm very happy with this purchase.

Great outdoor smart plug! Easy to setup and pair with smart systems. Holds up in heavy rain. Recommended!

Super Reliable and I love that you can individually control each port from the app. Easy setup, great price, durable as it's been outside on my deck it's entire life so far. Rain has been no problem for it as it powers my cat colonies heating pad & water fountain. I've literally never seen it offline since the day I set it up a few months ago. A+ go for it.

Love these things, and the fact they finally came out with something a little more heavy duty and for outdoor usage than the standard plugs. I’ve purchased a total of 3, 2-double and one single outlet. First you are extremely easy to hook up, discovered done over with, last One which I believe has what they call matter. That was a slight pain in the rear to hook up took me a good half hour figuring it out and that it need to be linked to an app first and then codes scanned, yada yada and finally working with Alexa. I switched them out for different summer and winter years summer I use them for fans to cool off catio and other in barn which collect much moisture and airflow keeps flies away from cat food. Summertime air switch to heat pads and heated water bowls. can’t beat them I can be hundreds of miles away at a relatives and change settings with Alexa. gave it four-star only because of the pain hooking it to Alexa with the one unit

Setting up outdoor lighting or holiday decorations becomes completely effortless with this weather-resistant smart plug. The IP65 rating provides reliable protection against heavy rain, dust, and daily outdoor exposure, keeping everything running safely season after season. Connecting it to an Apple Home setup is fast and dependable via Matter, allowing you to control patio lights or landscape features directly from your phone without needing a separate proprietary hub. Having two independently controlled outlets gives you great flexibility to run separate schedules or automations for different devices around the yard. The compact design ensures it fits neatly into standard outdoor wall plates without blocking neighboring sockets or weather covers. It is a robust, well-engineered addition to any outdoor automation routine that simply works the moment you plug it in.

Easy to use and love the app. I use this for my Christmas lights. I have tried timers but this works so much better. I love that I can switch up the times on the app, and turn it back on if I want with a press of a button on the app. I can't say enough great things about this plug. I would highly recommend the TP Link Tape Matter Outdoor Smart Plug. It is nice not to worry about snow or rain with this plug as well.

better than expected I already had Tapo app, security cameras, the outdoor plug added so easy i was shocked, works like a charm, i like there are 2 plug ins, you can control either one from the app

Muy buen articulo, se conecto de inmediato y a buena distancia del router, lo programe y tengo un mes usandolo sin problemas, lo recomiendo.

Tengo conectada mi bomba de agua y me ha funcionado aun bajo la lluvia y con uno que otro corte de luz

Used them for my outdoor Christmas lights. Easy to sync to my Google Home so I could control the lights without stepping outside.

Strong performer, solid build, solid connection. I would definitely buy more. Its a shame it doesn't have dimmer ability, that would make it outstanding.
