TCP Smart 13A Wi-Fi Plug

Product Information

The TCP Smart Wi-Fi Plug isn't the best-looking smart plug in the world, but it works as advertised, once you've figured out the app menus. If your TCP smart plug also shows offline in the app—the troubleshooting tips above should help you fix the problem as well. With that in mind, you’ll definitely want to check out our run through of the best smart speakers, as they’ll allow you to make the most of all the functionalities offered by a smart plug.

If you’re still having difficulties connecting your TCP Smart Plug to Wi-Fi after trying the above troubleshooting steps, then perform a factory reset to fix any bug causing connection issues. If you control your smart home through the Apple Home app, then the Eve Energy may be the smart plug for you. Schedules are saved to the device, so they’ll run regardless of whether you have a HomeKit Home Hub. Designed to work with the Philips Hue lighting system, the Philips Hue Smart Plug can work with either Zigbee (if you have a Hue Bridge) or Bluetooth.Some smart electrical plugs also allow for monitoring of energy usage, helping to help to control bills by understanding which products are drawing the most power. The TCP integration allows the integration of some services for which a specific Home Assistant integration does not exist.

To reset your TCP Smart Plug, press and hold the power button for over 5 seconds until the LED indicator blinks blue rapidly.I managed to get Tasmota on these devices using Tuya Convert running on a Raspberry Pi, what I have struggled with is getting both of the physical buttons working, anyone got any ideas, I’ve tried all the pins on the generic profile and can only get the right button working. More so, when your Wi-Fi network is congested, your TCP Smart Plug may have a hard time connecting to it. Check your Wi-Fi settings on the router to see the number of connected devices and disconnect some to make room for the Smart Plug. First, Zigbee has better range and reliability than Wi-Fi and, secondly, if you have a network failure, you can still operate the smart plug using a Hue remote control.

If the smart plug or switch can turn on/off themselves but they cannot turn on/off the devices connected to them, please refer to the corresponding product for troubleshooting. Hi there, just wondering if anyone knows whether Home Assistant supports the “TCP Smart” wifi switches? This provides the same toggle option, plus some more detailed options that include a Timer (actually, a scheduler that lets you configure automatic on/off times) and a Countdown (actually a countdown timer).This product gives you three individually controllable sockets all in one neat device, and you get two USB devices for charging, too.
