Review: Having tried several different brand's Magnetic Door Contacts, most disappoint by failing early, not working at all, draining batteries at the speed of light or just don't play well with other products. These door contacts are relatively small as they use a button cell to power them as opposed to the more often used AAA battery. To get over this, Tapo utilised different frequency to Wi-Fi which uses less power. The sensors are supposed to last a year before battery replacement is needed, but I cannot comment on this as I've only just purchased and fitted them. The sensors are small. This aids the fitting in tighter spaces. One of my previous mag sensors I needed to extract the magnet from its casing to fit it all in. They connect to the Tapo app BUT; you need the Tapo H100 Hub to connect them to it. The reason for this is the low power frequency used cannot directly connect to your Wi-Fi. On a positive note here, the H100 Hub acts as a Hub, a Siren and a Doorbell Sounder (when paired with a Tapo Smart Button) simultaneously. It takes up a mains socket, but is only the size of a Tapo Smart Plug. Once connected to the H100 Hub, the phone app takes over and you can set Smart Actions and Notifications from it. However, if you have Alexa, the Hub and its various sensors are added automatically to it, and you can use the sensors to activate other items that are part of the Alexa platform. Fitting the sensors are a breeze. 3M pads are included and seem up to the job. For those with offset doors and windows (those that close ON the frame as opposed to LEVEL with it) are in for a treat as the magnets are capable of closing the contact on an offset door. My doors have a 15mm offset and the sensors easily accommodate this. I found it better to connect the sensors to the app before fitting them. Incidentally, any power loss to the Hub will show the sensors as disconnected in the app upon reconnection. They are connected, but need activating once for them to show up in the app. Range is supposed to be huge due to the lower wireless frequency used, but I find it average. I have a large-ish 250 sq/M house over 2 floors and had to centralise the Hub carefully. The signal strength is either "High", "Medium" or "Weak". "Weak" seems to be everything between "On the edge of failing to connect to completely disconnected, so be aware you might need to reposition the Hub to accommodate the Sensor positions if they are wide apart or you have a large house. It is clear the platform will expand with time, so no doubt more Smart devices will become available as time progresses and the app and functionality will expand too. One thing that Tapo should consider is using geofencing to activate alarm functions. Adding the facility to detect when everyone with the Tapo app has left the building and set the alarm would be a fantastic addition. Similarly when anyone with a registered Tapo app is detected by the Hub, the alarm could be disarmed automatically. At the moment the overall rating is 5* I have knocked off one star under "Wi-Fi signal" because the "long range' boasted about is not really forthcoming. Tapo appear to have forgotten that a lot of new houses are basically Faraday cages full of foil-backed plasterboard and insulation stopping all those lovely wireless signals from finding the Hub.

Review: I needed to connect smart plugs instead router-but it seems smart plugs are not supported at the moment!? Maybe update will fix it. At the moment useless as there is no other items compatible available at the moment. Please make update to connect all smart plugs and cameras to it. And unfortunately I did not readed people reviews which already mention this hub is useless for plugs,bulbs and cameras. No good.
