'Game changer' Tapo WiFi Smart Plug on Amazon for less than €11
Travelling can be stressful enough at the best of times and the less we have to worry about the better. One of the things that many of us get anxious about just as we are about to leave is our home security while we are away.
Good news. Amazon.ie currently has the Tapo P105 WiFi Smart Plug on sale for €10.92. There is, however a €3.99 shipping cost but if you spend more than €25, postage is then free.
Elsewhere, Currys has the SANDSTROM SSPMW24 Wireless Smart Plug with Matter on sale for €21.99 and ScrewFix.ie has the Salus SP600 13A Smart Plug with Built-In Zigbee Repeater White on offer at €39.15.
The Tapo P105 WiFi Smart Plug comes with hands free voice control which is compatible Amazon Alexa or the Google Assistant. There is also an automatic smart scheduling and timer; remote access with the Tapo app; a device sharing feature and an away mode for home security and it's for indoor use only.
One satisfied customer said on Amazon: "This smart plug is a game changer. It was super easy to set up, and I love being able to control things with my phone. Great for adding a little convenience to my daily routine. Works perfectly with voice assistants, too! ( I have an amazon echo dot)."
Another content customer said it was "easy to use and the app is great".
However, it was not all five star reviews for the Tapo P105 WiFi Smart Plug with one disgruntled customer saying: "It is not showing on setup /wifi or anywhere - it's faulty. We have another and we know how to set up. Do not buy."

Who scored big on Prime Day - You or Amazon?
Midnight marked the end of Amazon Prime Day, the first since it launched its dedicated Irish website, It is one of the e-commerce giant's biggest shopping events, rivaling or even surpassing Black Friday and Cyber Monday for Amazon itself. "We are excited to bring our first dedicated Prime Day to Irish customers, following our launch in March," said Ali Dunn, Ireland Country Manager at Amazon. While Prime is still relatively new in Ireland, the company said it is focused on delivering on convenience through fast delivery, savings and events like Prime Day. "We remain committed to continuously adding more value for members in all the countries we serve, including Ireland." Amazon employs around 6,500 people in Cork, Dublin, and Drogheda, and since 2004, the retail behemoth has made direct investments in its operations here of more than €22 billion. It has opened six sites across the country, including what Amazon terms "a fulfilment centre" in Dublin's Baldonnell Business Park, a delivery station in Ballycoolin, data centres, and two corporate offices in Cork and Dublin. But, long before Amazon added .ie, thousands of Irish businesses had the Irish domain. At the end of last year, the database of .ie domains was 326,562. Many have invested significantly in their online operations in order to compete with the likes of Amazon, according to Jean McCabe, CEO of Retail Excellence Ireland. "Amazon has been part of the retail landscape in Ireland for some time, and while initiatives like its Prime Day might lead to a short-term boost in sales for some retailers who use the site," she said, "the bigger picture in the industry is of numerous innovative Irish retailers who themselves consistently offer world-class products and optimal service, and have also invested significantly in their online operations so they can realistically compete with larger players when it comes to features like click-and-collect or same-day delivery." Prime 'Day' is a misnomer because while it was originally a single sales day 10 years ago, it has grown into a multi-day event. Keeping 'Day' in the title is effective though, as it suggests urgency, keeping customers engaged and encouraging them to act quickly to bag a bargain. This year, Amazon Prime Day spanned four days, running from July 8 to 11. While it was in full swing, a survey commissioned by Aviva Insurance Ireland was published, shedding light on the online shopping habits of Irish consumers more generally. There was plenty of positives for Amazon and other online retailers, as it revealed that 29% have increased their shopping online for household and clothing items compared to their in-store spending in the last 12 months. While 20% claimed to have only increased their online shopping slightly, 9% say they have increased it significantly. The survey sought to understand the key drivers as to why consumers are choosing to shop online rather than in-store for household items and clothes. The convenience of shopping from home is the number one reason amongst 54% of consumers, followed by a belief that they find better prices and discounts online (51%). Prime Day generates billions in sales within a short window for Amazon - online spending was expected to surge to $23.8 billion across US retailers, and sales were projected to rise 28.4%, according to Adobe Analytics. Prime Day is only available to Prime members; customers who have subscribed, and membership is available for €6.99 per month or €69.90 annually per year. The subscription strategy is a retail power play by Amazon. According to the company's own figures, there are more than 200 million paid Prime members across 26 countries. "Most members choose to remain with Prime once they experience the unparalleled value," it said. Prime members shop more frequently and spend significantly more than non-members, because the subscription creates a psychological commitment - shoppers want to "get their money's worth," so they prioritise Amazon over competitors. It generates consistent revenue for the online retail giant, even when members are not shopping on its site, and the customer engagement gives Amazon deeper behavioral insights, improving targeting for advertising and product recommendations. Prime also enhances the perception of Amazon as fast, convenient, and premium, so it is not just a shipping perk - it's a strategic engine that boosts sales and loyalty. Amazon uses Prime Day to entice new customers to sign up, and many remain paying subscribers, generating recurring revenue long after the event.

Amazon Prime Day alert as shoppers warned of scam emails ahead of major sale
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info Amazon shoppers are bracing themselves for a big week ahead as the online retail behemoth is set to launch another of its massive Prime Day sale events. Starting from tomorrow, July 8, customers can expect a deluge of discounts across a range of categories including beauty, food, tech and more. However, Amazon users are being urged to stay vigilant. To avail of these deals, you'll need a Prime account and Amazon is cautioning all subscribers of this premium service to be on high alert. The company has recently dispatched emails in response to a significant surge in Prime scams that could leave users seriously out of pocket, reports the Irish Mirror. "We've recently noticed an increase in customers reporting fake emails about Amazon Prime membership subscriptions," confirmed Amazon. "We want to help you stay protected by sharing important information about these scams." If you're a Prime member and receive a message in your inbox, it's crucial to take a moment to verify it. One particularly alarming scam currently circulating suggests that Prime accounts need to be renewed, with users then being asked to pay more. Scammers have disseminated the counterfeit email in the hope that customers will be so irked by the Prime price hike they click the "cancel" button embedded within the message. "Do not click on any links in these messages," Amazon cautioned. "Scammers use fake websites to steal your Amazon login credentials and banking information." If you get a dodgy message about changes to your Prime account, don't panic – just log on to or the app and check out the "Prime" section. It's easy to see your membership status, renewal dates, and plan details there. Keep an eye on your bank statements for any weird charges and give your bank a shout straight away if you spot any transactions you didn't authorise. Amazon's top advice is to always jump onto their site directly through the mobile app or by typing into your web browser. Amazon always sends a copy of any emails to your Message Centre in your account, so you can double-check the legit ones there under "Your Account". To keep your Amazon account extra secure, why not turn on two-step verification in the Login and Security settings, or take a trip to That way, no one's getting into your account without a code.
