I've been researching smart switches similar to the battery-powered Tapo S210. Many users dislike it due to concerns about rapid battery drain caused by Wi-Fi connectivity. However, based on my research in online forums, batteries typically last between 7 and 8 months or longer, which I find acceptable. The app even provides notifications when battery levels are low.

While TP-Link doesn't seem to have plans to release the Tapo S210 in the US, they could consider a model with a rechargeable battery. This would provide users with greater peace of mind, as they could simply charge the removable battery and replace it if necessary."

"In older homes, rewiring can be expensive and time-consuming. Therefore, I've been exploring smart switch options that only require Line and Load cables, eliminating the need for additional wiring.
