This guide will show you how to add your Tapo device to Amazon Alexa. Once added, you can use simple voice commands to control Tapo smart plug and smart bulb, or stream your Tapo camera videos to Amazon Echo Show or Fire TV.

NOTE: Please update both the Tapo app and Tapo devices to the least one first.

To get started, make sure your Tapo device is set up and online. Here we take the Tapo plug as an example.

There are two options for connecting the Tapo device and Amazon Alexa.

Option 1:

  1. Open the Tapo app, go to Me > Third-Party Services, and select Amazon Alexa.

Option 2:

  1. Open the Amazon Alexa app. Then tap on More in the lower right corner and select Skills & Games.

  1. Enter and search for Tapo.

  1. Tap the ENABLE TO USE button.

You can control your Tapo Plug using simple voice commands. For example: “Alexa, turn on the ‘Toaster’ after two minutes”.

Note: Every time you change the name of the Tapo device, you will need to discover the device again to update its name.
