TP-Link warranty for lighting & shade controls
The short version
TP-Link doesn't cover everything, but keeps smart plug or switch covered to 2 years. That full coverage is the same as most of the 7 brands we compared, which typically cover nothing in full. You don't need to register to get this coverage.
From TP-Link's published warranty, checked October 2026.

What it leaves out
- Normal wear and tear
Good to know before you buy
- Covers the original buyer only; coverage starts when your order is delivered.
- You need proof of purchase and the full serial number.
- TP-Link replaces with a refurbished or similar unit; no refunds. You pay to ship it in unless you buy a faster swap ($14.99-$49.99).
- Used, as-is and open-box items generally aren't covered.
