Hi,

I've recently purchased the H500 so far I'm impressed.  I've connected my five cameras, door bell and temp sensor.

Is there anything planned for the future, to allow smart plugs to be added to the hub?

It seems strange you can add everything else but not plugs.

Thanks

Don

Why do you want to connect the smart plug to the hub? Tapo hub and its sub-devices are connected through a different wireless frequency, the Tapo SubGHz, rather than the regular 2.4GHz WiFi.

Ah, ok. Thanks.

I thought being a Hub it could be used to control all devices in one place.

Also, in the product description it shows this, so I assumed smart plugs could be added...

Whether the network source is a router or a hub, smart devices can communicate with each other as long as they're under the same network. They can interact with each other by setting automation rules.
