Model: Tapo H100  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.5.23

I use a h100 to connect a T100 with a P100 with the smart skill "night light".

Good WiFi signal is ensured with repeaters but I seem to have issues with the sub-G signal. The P100 looses the connection after some time. Can 1 use two H100 to ensure sensor and power plug have a good Sub-G signal? Distance between both seems to be too high.

The smart plug Tapo P100 is connected to router wifi, not the Tapo hub. When the automation rule did not run as expected, it is important to check the signal strength of all the involved devices, including their control hub. In your case, there are three sections:

1. Sensor to the hub (Tapo SubGHz).

2. Hub to the router (2.4GHz WiFi).

3. Plug to router (2.4GHz WiFi).

  @Wayne-TP thanks for your response.

Ok I moved the position of the P110 with a extension cord a bit above the water tank. Seem the water tank blocked the signal too much even it was close to the repeater. Now after setting up the P110 new it has a signal of -51 (RSSI) which at least is working. I will move the repeater or P110 to improve the signal further. 

 

The T100 has still a weak signal of -84 (RSSI). Means I should move the hub h100 closer to the T100, correct? WLAN signal would be no issue there. By moving the h100 closer to the T100 I would increase the distance to the P110 which from your description would have no negative impact, correct?

The distance between T100 sensor and the smart plug won't affect automation. If sensor's signal is weak, you will need to shorten the distance between the sensor and its connected hub. 

 

Don't forget to confirm the signal strength of the Tapo H100 hub. Tapo hub's connection will affect all its sub-devices and the relevant settings.

After I moved the P110 to a new location I had no issues anymore.

Now I moved the Tapo Hub to a new location which improved the signal to the motion sensor. 

Important information was, that there is no Sub-G signal between Hub and P110 so I could increase this distance without negative side effects.

Glad to know your devices work better now!
