No you don’t, if you lose your internet connection the system will still work, but you won’t be able to control if from your phone via the internet if you are away from the location the device is set up at.Great value, easy to use Great value & easy to use, I have 4 of these and use them on lamps across my house. They are perfect for making my home look occupied when I’m not there. I use them ad hoc but it’s great to be able to set them on a timer through the app if on holiday or somewhere without internet access. Or if you just don’t want the hassle of turning on lights each day as it starts to get dark. There’s even an ‘away mode’ which will turn a light on and off randomly, to make it look like you’re still at home. There’s also a button on the plug if you want to use it manually. The heater runs in this way instead of turning off to avoid any risk of the heater accidentally being left on in Auto mode when the leaving the home because it looked to be turned off. Like many plugs on the market, the Tapo P100 supports both Google Assistant and Alexa, so you can control it from a smart speaker if you have one. No additional hub is required.
