A cheap one-gang smart light switch at about £16, designed to be paired with a Tapo hub such as the H100, so factor the hub cost in. Home Assistant lists the S210 under the TP-Link integration. Check your back box: this is a mains-replacement switch and you need to be comfortable fitting it or use an electrician, and confirm neutral requirements on TP-Link's page before buying for an older UK house.
What can Home Assistant control on the TP-Link Tapo S210?
Pair via the Tapo hub first. Recent H100 firmware has been reported on the Home Assistant forum to trigger an encryption-scheme error in the built-in integration, so check current firmware compatibility before buying.
