Your first step is setting up your smart plugs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 1  &#8211; Set Up Smart Plugs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>First, connect all of the devices you want to control with your stream deck to a smart plug. I recommend using the TP-link Tapo plugs as they are cheap and easy to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Simply follow the setup instructions you receive with your plugs. You can use most smart plug brands with this setup. Once you have your smart plugs set up, you should be able to control your devices from the app on your phone\/computer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"575\" src=\"https:\/\/getonstream.com\/app\/uploads\/2022\/10\/f3851d4679c9c5884fd5c42c7b58b572-1024x575.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15915\" srcset=\"https:\/\/getonstream.com\/app\/uploads\/2022\/10\/f3851d4679c9c5884fd5c42c7b58b572-1024x575.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/getonstream.com\/app\/uploads\/2022\/10\/f3851d4679c9c5884fd5c42c7b58b572-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/getonstream.com\/app\/uploads\/2022\/10\/f3851d4679c9c5884fd5c42c7b58b572-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/getonstream.com\/app\/uploads\/2022\/10\/f3851d4679c9c5884fd5c42c7b58b572-768x431.jpg 768w, https:\/\/getonstream.com\/app\/uploads\/2022\/10\/f3851d4679c9c5884fd5c42c7b58b572.jpg 1193w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are using to Tapo Plug System simply follow the steps below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol><li>Plug Tapo plugs into your sockets and plug in your devices<\/li><li>Download the Tapo app on your phone &#8211;> Create an account<\/li><li>Follow the on-screen set-up instructions<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>You should now be able to use your phone to turn lights etc on\/off. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pro Tip<\/strong> &#8211; Use an extension cord to add multiple devices to a single plug.
