Nie, dziękuję Przekieruj mnie tamtapo p105 teardown
The closest verifiable Tapo P105 teardown I found is the FCC internal-photo filing for the US model. From those photos, the P105 is a compact smart plug built around one mains power/switching PCB plus a small RF daughterboard/module. The RF module uses a Realtek RTL8720C-family Wi‑Fi/BLE SoC; the chip marking in the FCC photo appears to read RTL8720CF. The main board contains a relay, electrolytic capacitors, an inductor, LED/button hardware, and the AC‑to‑DC supply section. (device.report)
For the US version, TP-Link currently specifies the P105 as 100–125 V AC, 15 A, 1800 W, 1/6 HP, with 2.4 GHz Wi‑Fi and Bluetooth used for setup only. TP-Link also lists FCC, RoHS, and UL certifications and a flame-retardant PC (UL94 V-0) enclosure material. (tp-link.com)
From the FCC internal photos, the device is organized like this: (device.report)
A useful engineering takeaway is that this is not an ESP8266-era design. The FCC close-up strongly indicates a Realtek RTL8720CF, and TP-Link’s official spec listing of Bluetooth for setup only is consistent with a Wi‑Fi/BLE combo SoC rather than a plain Wi‑Fi-only ESP8266-class part. (device.report)
The internal photos do not show an obvious mains isolation transformer. Based on that, the P105’s low-voltage supply appears to be a non-isolated off-line converter rather than an isolated flyback supply. That is an inference from the published photos, not an official TP-Link service statement, but it is the safest assumption for bench work. In practice, you should treat the logic side as potentially mains-referenced until proven otherwise. (device.report)
That matters because:
TP-Link’s current FAQ states that most regions, including the United States, use single-pole smart plugs, and the P105 is explicitly included in the FAQ’s applicability list. That means the plug likely switches only one conductor—normally the line/hot—rather than both line and neutral. (tp-link.com)
So, from a teardown perspective, expect:
The external photos show a smooth plastic shell with no user-accessible screws and a visible perimeter seam. From that, the enclosure is likely opened by prying the seam, and it may be clip-fit and/or ultrasonically joined. That last point is an inference from the product photos rather than official disassembly guidance. (device.report)
Practically, this means:
I do not see obvious dedicated energy-metering hardware in the FCC photos, and TP-Link markets the P105 as a basic on/off smart plug rather than an energy-monitoring model. So if your goal is power measurement, this is probably the wrong Tapo plug family member to start with. (device.report)
There was an original FCC grant for the P105 under FCC ID 2AXJ4P105 on August 18, 2022. A later filing under FCC ID 2BH7FP105 on January 19, 2025 is listed as a change in identification, and the filing explicitly references the original FCC ID. That suggests the later US-labeled product remains fundamentally the same approved RF design, even if labeling/commercial ownership details changed. (device.report)
As of the current TP-Link US product page, the P105 is still positioned as a compact 15 A / 1800 W smart plug with 2.4 GHz Wi‑Fi and Bluetooth onboarding, not as a Matter or energy-monitoring flagship model. TP-Link’s support content also still treats the P105 as part of the mainstream US single-pole smart-plug lineup. (tp-link.com)
For firmware hackers, the significant trend is that these newer compact plugs are often Realtek/Beken-based rather than Espressif-based. The open-source LibreTiny project currently lists RTL8720CF / RTL8720C support and its tooling explicitly supports RTL8720C devices, so custom firmware work is possible in principle, but it is a different workflow from classic ESP8266/ESP32 flashing.

A concise architecture summary:
| Section | What is visible | Engineering implication | |
|---|---|---|---|
| RF board | Realtek RTL8720CF-looking SoC, PCB antenna | Wi‑Fi + BLE combo platform, not ESP8266-style | |
| Main board | Relay, electrolytics, inductor, supply parts | Mains switching + local low-voltage generation | |
| UI | LED and pushbutton hardware | Local control and pairing/reset | |
| Switching | Single-pole behavior in US lineup | Likely opens hot/line only | (device.report) |
If you are reverse-engineering it, the daughterboard is the highest-value area:
Because the P105 is sold as a UL/FCC/RoHS-certified consumer mains device, opening or modifying it can undermine the assumptions behind that certification in real-world use. Once opened, you should no longer assume the assembly retains its original fire, insulation, or creepage/clearance safety margin. (tp-link.com)
Safety is the main issue here:
If your goal is teardown for identification, this is what to look for first: (device.report)
If your goal is custom firmware or local control, plan around a Realtek toolchain, not stock ESP binaries. LibreTiny/ltchiptool are the relevant ecosystem starting points, but this is an advanced job requiring soldering, serial access, and recovery planning. (github.com)
If your goal is repair, the most likely high-stress areas from the visible construction are:
If you want, I can do any of these next:
The Tapo P105 teardown picture is: compact single mains PCB + separate RF module, Realtek RTL8720CF-class Wi‑Fi/BLE silicon, electromechanical relay, likely non-isolated off-line power supply, single-pole switching in the US family, and no obvious energy-metering hardware. For hacking or repair, the main practical cautions are mains safety and the fact that this is Realtek-based, not ESP-based. (device.report)
If you want, I can next give you a photo-by-photo annotated teardown of the FCC internal images.
