If you want an extra switch to control the light without wiring, the new Tapo smart button S200B will be a good choice. By creating a Smart Action rule (shortcut or automation), you're able to control the existing Tapo switch or light bulb with the smart button.

If you want to set up three, four, or even more switches to control the same light without dealing with excessive wiring, you can simply install a Tapo single pole switch and use a Tapo Smart Button. Then, create automation rules to control this wired switch with the smart button, enabling multi-way control of the same light.

 

The advantage of using a Smart Button is that you can adjust the lights (switches) it controls at any time. For example, if you originally set it up to control the hallway light in Room A but now want it to control the living room light, you can easily change the automation rules within the Tapo App (Note: Smart Button can only create automation rules with Tapo/Kasa devices. If your lights use traditional switches, the button cannot control them).

 

Automation rules can simultaneously control multiple devices, allowing you to use a single button as a master control to switch all the lights (Tapo switches) with a single press.

 

Then automation rules can be created as follows. 

Multi-point Control for the same light

Set A Master Control

When (Trigger)

- S200B(living room) Single Tap

- S200B(kitchen) Single Tap

- S200B(backdoor) Single Tap

 

Then (Action) 

- Tapo Smart Switch A Turn On/Off

 

*Turn On/Off: Switch the device's current status (to on if it's off and vice versa)

When (Trigger)

- S200B(front door) Double Tap

 

Then (Action) 

- Tapo Smart Switch A Turn On/Off

- Tapo Smart Switch B Turn On/Off

- Tapo Smart Switch C Turn On/Off

 

*Turn On/Off: Switch the device's current status (to on if it's off and vice versa)
