Smart Home Hub 🎛️
At the core of the Tapo ecosystem lies the Smart HomeBase Tapo H500, a centralized control device compatible with Matter and ONVIF protocols. It comes with 16GB eMMC, expandable up to 16 TB via an extra HDD/SDD drive, delivering massive, secure local storage. Its AI technology recognizes human faces, people, pets and vehicles, effectively filtering invalid alerts for connected cameras.
With its capability to connect up to 16 cameras and 64 sensors, the Tapo H500 acts as a unified smart home control center for your home. Supporting connectivity for up to 16 cameras and up to 64 IoT devices, as well as Matter and ONVIF; all the while making your existing devices and cameras all the smarter.
Tapo for Pad App
Additionally, we teased the release of the new Tapo for Pad App (iOS and Android) – allowing you to effortlessly keep an eye on the devices and cameras throughout your entire home with a customizable floorplan. Watch live video from multiple cameras at the same time, customize your system settings, playback recorded motion events and more. Check out the Tapo H500 on our website here.
The H500 is a great way to incorporate our various Tapo Smart Sensors, which can be found here.

Comment
When do you expect DL130 / D225 to become available? Any product specs (size, weight, etc.) you're able to share? Thanks.
Is the DL130 smart lock for Europe?
Hey @SPF1,
It is still a bit early to have any concrete info, however the doorlock was used as a live demo during the show so we do have a general idea of what the device will look like and what features were announced for launch, such as the various entry methods and Apple Home compatibility. Exact specs will only be available closer to a release.
Is there something specific that you are looking for?
Primarily sizing and release date, if you're able to share. Also, whats the price point expectation? Thanks!
Hey @Riley_S, quick question pertaining to the new lineup of Tapo products; are there any plans to bring Matter or Homekit support to the outdoor cameras or smart vacuums? I'm in the market for such items and I would love to incorporate Tapo's lineups. The features and functionality are exactly what I'm looking for in both, but I'm very firm when it comes to the communication protocol I use to add devices to my smart ecosystem.
Hey @Petrij98,
Our teams have already been at the forefront of matter development and device compatibility, so I am sure that these devices are in the works. However, I will see if I can find any information that I can give about compatibility with these devices for everyone.
Both the Matter Protocol and our line of robot vacuums are relatively new, but I will make sure to pass along the feedback that this is a common request, as I have now seen a few questions about Homekit/Matter compatibility with Robot Vacuums. I also believe that support for smart vacuums was actually added in the most recent 1.2 update for the matter protocol.
I would imagine that HomeKit cameras are on the way, especially after seeing the number of new outdoor models showcased at CES. The doorlock showcased is also meant for use with Apple Home, so it is a focus for Tapo overall. I do not yet believe that there are Matter controls for smart cameras, but you could look towards the RTSP and ONVIF Features available with Tapo cameras.
Hey Riley! Do you know if the KS230 3-way dimmer kit has an upgraded HomeKit/Matter version, or if there is one coming soon? I'm looking to swap out some old Leviton switches and desperately want to use the KS230 as I've had good experiences with your single pole switches, but absolutely need HomeKit or matter compatibility.
thanks!
Hey @Shaunp77,
I believe that there are plans to bring a three-way compatible switch/dimmer with Homekit or Matter. From what I can tell, most of our core smart home products are adding a new model with the features. In the grand scheme, the KS230/3-Way is a lesser priority overall(more nich in market), and may have to wait for the rest of our matter lineup to be released before we hear something concrete.
I am currently reaching out to our product teams to see if there is any information that we can put out there about our current plans for matter compatibility and potential upcoming products.
Matter 3way standard and dimmer as well as matching dumb switches for those items like vent fans, garbage disposal, or the other side of a 3way would be great and allow the ability to complete the change over of my house to all Kasa or Tapo switches. I have been really enjoying the 12 switches I am currently using but it would be awesome to unify and complete the look through out my home.
Agreed, PLEASE consider prioritizing the introduction of 3-way Matter compatible dimmer switches! I think this is actually quite a common use case and it is the one thing still preventing me from having completely Kasa-based home automation. I would buy these on launch day!
Nonetheless thank you for the consideration @Riley_S!
