With the release of Tapo version 3.0, TP-Link integrates their two lines of smart home devices into a single application, reducing the number of apps needed to control their devices.

Additionally, the update claims improvements to the user interface, optimized camera features, a sleeker status page, and faster responses and startups.

The blow post also suggest that improvements to lighting effects, smart actions, geofencing, and a dark mode will be coming in the future.

I think the best takeaway is that I can have one less app on my phone!

    That’s good to hear I think? I have been using Kasa products and getting annoyed that im unable to get anymore recently. Especially the fact that using 2 different apps just to control the devices from the same company is a little silly. Didn’t know why they have to make Tapo, but this should solve it.

      Yes. I was a bit stunned years ago to find there were two incompatible breeds of tp-link smart switches etc. Ended up going with Arlec / Grid Connect instead.
