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.

My tplink wifi adapter not recognised my lappy. what can I do?
Matter is adding support for WiFi Access Points in the upcoming 1.3 update to the specification.
I'd love to see a supported Router of yours that has a thread border router & Bluetooth combo module added in. Could call it a 'Smart Wi-Fi Router' or something
Hey @Adpocalyptic,
Thanks for the information, I haven't had a chance to review the upcoming update. I am curious to see what kind of controls or features are offered for APs through Matter.
It may come as a surprise, but I believe that we have actually had routers with Zigbee and BT functionality—but this was a long time ago, before Matter or even Smart Homes were even a thought in people's heads.
Along with this, our teams are always looking at adding this type of functionality to our devices - particularly Decos. The Deco App has a Smart Home feature that just recently received support for operating as a Matter Controller, so we may hear more about how Matter may be implemented across Deco and other products soon. Out of curiosity, do you have any use for the Bluetooth Modules (such as having devices that communicate over BT), or is it meant more for provisioning of devices?
Hey @shawnz @Corduroy34 @Shaunp77
Thanks for the feedback, I've been working with our product teams to relay the feedback that we are continuing to see requests for three-way options. If you have not already, please provide your feedback in our latest Survey "What Matter Device Do You Want to See Next?"
As a heads-up, one of the main limiting factors that we have seen in relation to new devices supporting Matter is the limited support for devices/features across third-party implementations, along with the limits on what features are supported via the Matter Protocol. I am not sure if a 3-way switch is affected by this, but it may explain why we are not seeing one on the market yet.
@Riley_S Yeah, its been pretty hard to get ahold of more information on it since every search result seems to be about the Thread 1.3 update (With an interesting idea about 'Thread-Over-Infrastructure') I assume it'd be for stats/network health & to restart when they get issues. I'm drawing a blank on what automations it could schedule though.
I did see mentions of a device like that when looking into the options available from TP-Link and I probably would've gotten it if it wasn't so old 😅
As for the Bluetooth support I suppose it would be both? More so the commissioning requirements of Matter/Thread devices to have it. Perhaps it won't be just commissioning other devices, but also commissioning the access point itself. And who knows, could become handy with other use cases as all of these standards evolve.
