Hi,

 

I am building my new home and want to implement the tapo smart dimmer switch and tapo smart outlet house wide to my new home.

Therefore, I want to let the house maker to install all the smart dimmer switches and smart outlets for me.

 

Before doing that, I want to confirm a few things.

1. If it is possible to use it first without configuring with app in order to use them as normal switch?

 

2. Since I will let my house maker install all the devices for me, how can I do the configuration afterwards with my phone app?

 

There will be so many new devices in my new home waited to be paired and configured, so how can I know exactly which one that I am currently configuring with the tapo app?

👆This is my biggest concern.

I have multiple switches controlling the different lighting zones in my living room, so how I can exactly configure them in app is crucial.

 

3. Finally, if in the future, I want to change the wifi password, how can I do it easily?

I saw a post that complaining on this. I am wondering if it is solved or not.

Thank you very much.

The smart switch can still function as a physical switch without configuration. There is no need to distinguish devices during the configuration. After adding all devices to the app, you can tell which device you're controlling by switching it in the Tapo app -- check which light turns on/off at the same time. Rename the smart switch in the app after identifying it successfully.

 

If the WiFi credentials have changed, you will need to reset the switch one by one then reconfigure them.

Thank you very much!

Then I can go for them!

 

Hopefully, we can have an updates of being able to change wifi settings directly with app without reset them. 🥹
