If you've been jumping at the idea of smart home living but don't know how to get started, this starter set might be a good option. This smart sensor starter set, the Tapo T30 KIT includes a Tapo T100 motion sensor, 2 Tapo T110 contact sensors, and a Tapo H100 hub.

 

 

• Motion sensor, as the name suggests, detects movement within its range. 
• Contact sensor, which is suitable for objects that can be physically opened and closed such as doors, windows, refrigerators, etc. It can record the time of opening and closing, and send app notifications as a reminder when it is opened, closed, or kept open for a set time. 
• The Tapo H100 is a SubGHz smart hub that provides connection to the Tapo SubGHz IoT devices like sensors and smart button, supporting up to 64 devices. As the IoT devices are not connected to the router through the regular 2.4GHz WiFi, the existence of the Tapo hub significantly reduces the strain on your main Wi-Fi network and minimizes congestion. In addition to serving as a control hub for SubGHz devices, it acts as an alarm device. You can set up automations that trigger the hub to sound an alarm when specific changes occur in your smart home, serving as an alert and reminder. Introducing TP-Link SubGHz Technology

 

With this starter kit, you can achieve:

1. Intrusion Alerts and Alarms. The motion sensor can detect and record activity in designated areas, while the contact sensors track the opening and closing of doors and windows. You'll receive timely push notifications on your app whenever any activity is detected, and you can set the hub to sound an alarm to deter intruders. For instance, at night or when you're away, if the motion sensor detects unexpected movement, you'll get an immediate notification alert on your phone, and the hub will sound an alarm to notify you and scare off any suspicious activity.
   Advanced Setup: Pair it with a Tapo pan*tilt camera to automatically adjust the camera's view to monitor or record in real-time when movement is detected.
2. Automatic Lighting. When you need to use the bathroom at night, the motion sensor can automatically turn on the hallway or bathroom lights at a lower brightness after detecting movement. <This requires pairing the motion sensor with Tapo lighting or a smart plug.>
3. Child-Friendly Night Lighting. Provide gentle lighting for children who wake up at night, ensuring they aren't scared as they navigate to their parents' bedroom. The lights can automatically turn on along their path. <This requires pairing the motion sensor with Tapo lighting or a smart plug.>
4. Reminders for Open Doors and Windows. Do you often forget to close doors, windows, or the refrigerator? The contact sensor is a helpful ally. If a door or window remains open beyond a set time, you'll receive a notification.
   Advanced Setup: Make reminders visual! Pair the contact sensor with Tapo lighting to change the lights to a bright color (like red) if the door or window is still open after a specified time. After all, we don’t want the refrigerator left open, right?
