Smart Hub with Built-in Chime, REQUIRES 2.4GHz Wi-Fi, Reliable Long-Range Connections with Tapo Sensors, Sub-1G Low-Power Wireless protocol, Connect up to 64 smart devices (H100)

We have our lights set up with smart plugs and can operate them with Alexa or Apple Home. However, it was getting frustrating to yell orders anytime we wanted to enter a room or the garage. We saw these motion sensors on YouTube and really like them. We have one sensor set up in each room and we set up routines to have the lights go off after a certain period of inactivity as well as turn on when we arrive inside a room. My favorite location is the garage where I can quickly run out to grab something for dinner and the lights come on quickly and turn off again within 5 minutes. They are very responsive and I love the flexibility to set up a variety of routines with them. For example, I keep the one on in my home office most of the workday and have a different schedule after hours where they shut off more quickly. This motion sensor hub and the sensors are a fantastic enhancement to a smart home. They are also very user friendly to set up and easily program with your smart home system.

Tapo has quickly become my all-time favorite brand in home automation. The battery life on their wireless sensors is super, and the connectivity is almost always on-spot. I've had this motion sensor in a high-traffic area for over a year and have not yet received a low-battery notification. I haven't had anything fail yet and as long as the network connection is solid, they're very responsive!! These are Chineese-owned, so whatever telemetry data they're sending over seas can be questionable.. Especially at the pricing point most Tapo devices sell at. It just seems like a high quality, great value for your money!

So glad I made the switch to Tapo! Works well so far, connects fully with the rest of my TP-Link products and Google Home, and this allows me to have sirens in various locations throughout my house. I have a detached garage and needed something to alert me if garage doors were opened overnight and this works perfectly for that. I have one in my garage and one right by my bed so neighbors and myself will hear the alarm if someone's attempts to break in again. The price was definitely reasonable in my opinion and ive already mentioned how I feel about its compatibility, especially between google, tapo, and kasa. Switching to TP-Link products has allowed me to greatly increase security around my home and ive had a hard time finding smart home products that do what I need them to and integrate with my other brand products. Couple Minor Cons: - Alarm could be a little louder, Currently Need One On Each Floor. A dedicated siren would be a great item to see come out, not like this compact hub/chime. - TP-Link needs to make a smart keypad that integrates with door sensors and alarm

With 6 of these Tapo Motion Sensors now installed, I can say that all of them do their designed job. I'm using them to control lights in an Alexa controlled setup. Once set up properly and positioned correctly, they do not fail to trigger the lights that are assigned to each of them. The annoyance comes after the initial trigger and may well be an issue of compatibility between the Tapo firmware and the Alexa system. If you just want them to turn on a light, no problems. If you program it to shut off that light after a designated time of inactivity, you're in for some issues. The sensor seems to become arbitrary after the initial trigger. Repeated triggers during an "On" cycle seem to confuse the setup and the result is inconsistent and confusing. The light may turn off and on with varying time delays. Used as an "On" switch with no timed shut-off, they do the job. As an example, I live alone and enter the kitchen 4-5 total times each day. The sensor turns on the light and shuts it off after 30 min. Normally it does exactly that unless I stay in the room beyond the assigned 30 min. That will result in the light going into a totally arbitrary false On/Off sequence. Several min. of inactivity seems to return it to normal. I'm not sure who is at fault here, TP-Link (Tapo) or Alexa but, in any event, I keep installing more of them. Go figure!

What an amazing product! Setup is quick and user-friendly. I had the hub and two sensors up and running in less than five minutes. Remote access and history download worked perfectly. The hub has excellent range also. Highly recommended!

I have this hub coupled to four water detectors. I have other TP Link products in use and they have not disappointed so I thought I would give these a try. The software is top notch and constantly updated. I have a high deductible homeowner's policy and installed four of the water detectors for a piece of mind. I travel a lot and felt like this was a good investment. Interestingly, one of them went off the first night as a result of a very small, occasional leak in my kitchen sink. The alarms are quite loud. Long term, that leak could have been a problem. These seem reliable and the battery life is very long. I recommend. This hub is a required part of the system.

I didn’t set out to buy a smart hub with a chime. But when I got the Tapo temperature/humidity monitor for my insurance discount, I found out it won’t work alone—it needs this hub like a sidekick in a buddy movie. Setup was pretty painless: plug it in, connect it to Wi-Fi through the app, and it’s ready to be the middleman between your sensors and your phone. Once it was in place, my temperature monitor started sending updates instantly, and now I can get alerts no matter where I am. The chime is surprisingly loud for its size—great if you want audible alerts, less great if you forget it’s armed and scare yourself half to death. The size is nice and compact, so it doesn’t hog outlet space. That said, you’re committing one outlet permanently to it, and it’s another device in your home that needs occasional firmware updates. Also, if you’re not using other Tapo smart devices, it feels a bit overkill—like having a full-time butler just to answer the door twice a year. In the end, it’s a necessary piece of the puzzle if you want the Tapo environmental monitor to work, and it does its job well. Just be prepared for your smart home family to grow whether you planned for it or not.

Edit: Looks like geofencing was turned on in the Tapo app today :) Edit2: I really love these things. I have 3 of them now. My oldest one is a year and a half old and no issues with the battery even though I walk by it many times a day. It's great. I have always liked Kasa products for my smart home. In the past I was not able to find good motion, humidity and temperature sensors for the Google Home side of things. I think this Tapo line is fairly new and i only noticed it recently, however, the Tapo line appears to fill in some holes that existed in their lineup. Important note, this device does require a Tapo hub, sold separately. I have a bunch of quite old Kasa bulbs and switches that were integrated in the old Kasa app. I was worried that this new Tapo app would not talk to the legacy Kasa app but that worry was unfounded. The Kasa app and the Tapo app linked to each other seamlessly. I can see all my legacy devices now in the Tapo app and it brought over all my automations. Connecting the motion sensor to the Tapo app was straightforward. Important exception, the Tapo app doesn't have geo-fencing yet. So be aware if that's a major selling point for you it isn't enabled in Tapo, yet. The motion sensor works pretty much the way you would expect. It's quite sensitive, I can activate it just by waving my hand at it from 10 feet away. It also comes with a stick on pad and a nifty ball and socket connection that lets you aim it just the way you need. It's a nicely implemented little motion sensor. On a side note, I used to have all kinds of issues with my smart devices and recently I specifically created, on my router, a separate AP that only uses 2.4ghz. Then when I connect devices that require 2.4ghz I use that AP (I named it router2.4 to make it easy to identify). I recommend that and most routers support doing it.
