Smart plug TP-LINK Tapo S112 — Wi‑Fi, Bluetooth, Matter support, single outlet

TP-LINK Tapo S112 is a smart plug that converts a single electrical outlet into a remotely controllable device. Designed for home automation, it connects via Wi‑Fi, Bluetooth and supports the Matter interoperability standard to work with a range of smart home platforms and voice assistants. The compact form factor fits standard sockets and enables scheduling, remote on/off control, and basic energy management for connected appliances.

Advantages

The smart plug offers multi-protocol connectivity — Wi‑Fi for cloud and remote access, Bluetooth for direct local setup, and Matter for simplified integration with compatible ecosystems. It provides straightforward control of one outlet without additional hubs, and supports scheduling and timers to automate device operation. The device is compact to minimize blockage of adjacent sockets and includes safety protections typical for consumer smart plugs.

Suitable for

• Automating lamps and lighting
• Scheduling small kitchen appliances such as kettles or coffee makers
• Remote control of fans, heaters, or humidifiers within rated limits
• Basic energy management and reducing standby power usage
• Integration into voice-controlled scenes and routines

Key specifications

• Connectivity: Wi‑Fi and Bluetooth; Matter support for ecosystem interoperability
• Outlet count: single grounded outlet suitable for one device
• Control: remote on/off, scheduling and timers via companion app or compatible platforms

How to use

Plug the smart plug into a standard wall socket and connect the appliance to the outlet. Use the TP‑LINK/Tapo companion app on a smartphone to perform initial setup over Bluetooth and configure Wi‑Fi credentials, or follow the Matter provisioning flow with a compatible controller. Once connected, create schedules, set timers or control the outlet manually from the app or via integrated voice assistants. Ensure the connected device does not exceed the plug’s rated current and power for safe operation.

Usage recommendations

Place the smart plug where it has stable Wi‑Fi signal for reliable remote access. Avoid using with high-current appliances beyond typical consumer small appliances. Regularly check firmware updates in the companion app to maintain compatibility and security.
