TP-Link Tapo Motion Sensor, Requires Tapo Hub, Long Battery Life w/Sub-1G Low-Power Wireless Protocol, Wide Range Detection, Adjustable Sensitivity, Real-Time Notification, Smart Action, Tapo T100

I already have over 20 Tapo smart home devices and have been extremely happy with all of them, so I had high expectations for the motion sensor — and it didn’t disappoint! Setup was quick and easy, and it integrates seamlessly with the rest of my Tapo devices. The sensor is responsive, reliable, and has great range. It’s been perfect for automating lights and adding an extra layer of convenience to my smart home. Highly recommend to anyone already in the Tapo ecosystem! Just an fyi though- this requires a Tapo hub to work, consider buying them together it’s usually cheaper

Edit: Looks like geofencing was turned on in the Tapo app today :)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.

I mean - what else is there to say. I bought this because I needed it for the water sensors. Once you installed the app and connected to your Wi-Fi, it's pretty trivial to activate the hub and connect the sensors. Nice clean design and smaller that it looks.

I just got the hub with the tapo door/window sensor. I'm not a tech savvy person so I did have a bit of trouble pairing the device. But once I got it set up it worked exactly as expected. The app is very easy to use. Keeps a log of when ny door was opened and shut. I set up notifications and i do get alerts on my cell phone when the door is open. I set the hub to alarm when the door is opened but you can customize when or if you want alarm to sound when your door or window is opened. I agree with the other reviews. The alarm on the hub isn't very loud. I'm using it on my attic door and the hub is plugged into my bedroom a few feet away. I'm planning on getting a sensor for my front door so not sure if I'll here the alarm on the downstairs hub very good from my bedroom. Even though im using it as a security system It really isn't a real security system. so it's good for what it is and better then nothing. I recommend it and plan on putting these on my patio door and windows to.

This helped me pair my tapo water sensor detector and it gives me a peace of mind that it will alert me inside my house. I really like the smart hub and it has matter built in.

I got one of these to automate a pair of Tapo L535 lights in our loft/office space and it works absolutely fantastic for it. You can adjust the sensitivity for motion (which seems to use a combination of distance sensing as well as actual motion), and the base that's attached to it is magnetic so you can slap it out of anything metal right out of the box (in my case I put it on a filing cabinet). And thanks to the Tapo app you can tie it into a bunch of your other Tapo smart devices like bulbs or the smart plugs.

The hub doesn't work with cameras and doorbells for connectivity, so I returned it. It does work as a chime but if you are looking for wifi backup for all of the things on your internet, get the H200.

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.
