A new addition to TP-Link’s smart home portfolio provides a breath of fresh air in households, workshops and technical rooms: The Tapo S110E smart relay module enables the intelligent control and energy monitoring of almost any existing electrical installation. Whether garage door, heating system, lighting or socket – the compact flush-mounted module transforms conventional systems into smart components and can be easily integrated into existing switches without the need for extensive modifications.
Highlights
- Compact flush-mounted smart relay for garage doors, heating systems, lights and more
- Supports wet and dry contact – flexible for many installations
- Matter-compatible: works with Apple Home, Google Home, Alexa, SmartThings & IFTTT
- Integrated bidirectional energy monitoring for detailed power consumption
Smart control for existing installations
With the Tapo S110E, TP-Link is taking an important step towards smart home expansion for existing electrical installations. While many smart home solutions are only designed for lamps or sockets, the Tapo S110E specifically addresses applications that were previously difficult or impossible to control smartly. These include garage doors or heating systems, for example, which often have special switching contacts. This is precisely where the new module comes in.
The dry contact mode enables the control of systems that do not require direct mains voltage. For example, garage doors can be opened or closed via app, schedules can be stored or automated processes can be defined – for example, when a vehicle is detected. Users can also trigger processes by voice command; Alexa, Google Assistant and Apple Siri, among others, are supported.
Wet contact mode is available for classic installations such as light switches, sockets or underfloor heating. The module is integrated directly into the existing circuit, making existing switches “smart” without having to replace them. The module works in the background, retaining its original function – supplemented by remote access, schedules and smart automation via the Tapo app.
The integrated energy monitoring offers particular added value. The Tapo S110E not only measures the consumption of connected devices – it can also detect the direction of the energy flow. This makes it suitable for balcony power plants, for example, to keep an eye on feed-in and yield. Users receive detailed statistics and can thus optimize their energy budget or identify potential savings.
Matter certification and simple setup
The Smart Relay module is Matter-certified – a major advantage for users of different smart home platforms. Matter ensures that devices can communicate with each other across manufacturers. Whether Apple Home, Google Home, Amazon Alexa, Samsung SmartThings or IFTTT: the Tapo S110E can be seamlessly integrated without additional bridges or complex configuration.
It is easy to set up via Bluetooth: the module is recognized, configured and then integrated into the home network via Wi-Fi. The compact format enables installation in narrow flush-mounted boxes – ideal for renovations or retrofits. TP-Link also demonstrates professional standards when it comes to security. The S110E has zero-voltage protection, overheating, overload and relay failure protection.
This ensures reliable operation in everyday use and significantly extends the service life of the module. The combination of compact design, high compatibility and protection mechanisms makes the S110E a versatile solution for smart home enthusiasts, installers and anyone who wants to modernize their existing installation.
Conclusion
With the Tapo S110E, TP-Link is launching an extremely versatile smart relay module that makes classic installations smart without much effort. It combines flexible application options via wet and dry contact, comprehensive energy monitoring and Matter compatibility in a compact flush-mounted module. The price is an RRP of €19.90. The device is now available in the Tapo Store and will also be available from Amazon and specialist retailers in the coming days. For the launch, there is a 15% discount on the purchase of four S110E or five S112 in the Tapo Store from November 7 to 14.
