Smart Motion Sensor
Tapo T100 Review

7 m range  |  120° view  |  3 sensitivity levels  |  Needs H100 or H200  |  Magnet and adhesive

Overview

The Tapo T100 is a battery motion sensor with a 7 metre range, a 120° field of view and 3 sensitivity levels. It needs a Tapo H100 or H200 hub.

It can trigger smart actions, such as turning on lights, and work with the hub’s away mode alarm. It mounts with 3M adhesive or a magnet. Tapo’s pages give two different battery life figures, so expect long battery life with low-battery alerts.
