Tapo T100 Smart Motion Sensor 7m

This compact smart motion sensor from Tapo detects movement up to 7m away and covers a wide 120° field of view, making it a practical choice for simple home automation and basic security tasks. It activates lights or other Tapo devices automatically, reducing wasted energy and offering instant alerts when motion is detected.

Highlights

The Tapo T100 focuses on straightforward motion detection and easy integration into a Tapo ecosystem. Setup is quick with the included 3M adhesive or built-in magnets, and the sensor pairs with the Tapo Hub to unlock full smart actions. If you prioritise hands-free lighting, this unit turns devices on as you enter a room, and if you prefer notifications, it sends real-time alerts to your phone when away.

Where it shines

It works well as a discreet presence detector for corridors, utility rooms and small living areas, and it helps conserve energy by triggering lights only when needed. Voice control via amazon Alexa is supported when the hub is present, so you can combine voice commands with motion triggers for added convenience. Note that some smart features need the Tapo Hub, according to the manufacturer.

Who it’s for

It suits homeowners who want a fuss-free sensor to automate lighting and receive alerts without complex wiring. It makes sense if you want a battery device with straightforward installation and integration into a Tapo setup, or if you need motion-activated lighting for frequently used spaces. It might not be a great match if you need a hub-free solution for advanced automation or higher range detection beyond the specified 7m.
