Product Details

The TP-Link Tapo S500D is a smart dimmer switch designed for energy-efficient LEDs as well as traditional incandescent bulbs. Control brightness via the Tapo app, voice commands through Alexa, Google Assistant, or Samsung Bixby.

The Fade On/Off feature smoothly illuminates or dims your lights, allowing your eyes to adjust to the new lighting level. No hub required - connects directly to your 2.4GHz WiFi. The Tapo app guides you through easy step-by-step installation.

Schedule lights with timers, countdown schedules, or Away Mode that randomly turns lights on/off when you're away. Create Smart Actions triggered by Tapo smart sensors. Your devices remain accessible via the app even during internet outages.

Single-pole installation only. Pair with a Tapo Smart Button to create 3-way or 4-way functionality without rewiring. Neutral wire required. UL certified with 2-year warranty. Includes wall plate and wire nuts.
