The Tapo S505D smart dimmer is Matter certified, which guarantees compatibility with every major smart home ecosystem, and it certainly won’t break the bank. On the other hand, it’s a very simple single-pole device that depends on the presence of a neutral wire in the box where it’s installed.

  • Relatively clean room-facing design
  • Quick onboarding and easy management with the Tapo app
  • Very low-priced

Cons

  • Physical installation is a bit more onerous than other devices
  • Requires a neutral wire
  • Some slight hiccups during setup
