Tapo L530E (EU): what it works with

TP-Link Tapo · model Tapo L530E · For Europe

The Tapo L530E (EU) works with Alexa and Google Home through TP-Link's cloud skill and integration, and with SmartThings once you link your TP-Link account. No hub: it joins 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi directly, and Home Assistant's official TP-Link Smart Home integration controls it on the local network. Expect 806 lumens, 16 million colours and tunable white from 2500 to 6500 K, on an E27 base. Apple Home and Matter are both unconfirmed, since the EU spec page lists only Alexa and Google.
