Automating Your Home with Sub-GHz

Tapo Temperature and Humidity Sensors

Real-Time & Accurate Monitoring – Detects Accurate Real-Time Temperature and Humidity

Monitoring and Visual Graphs – Data summaries are provided for temperature and humidity throughout the day, month, or year.

Compatible with Matter via Tapo H100 Matter-Bridging Functionality

2.7” E-Ink Display (Tapo T315 Only) – Indicates the current temperature, humidity, comfort level, battery condition, and signal.

Note for T315 Display:  The internal sensor will continue reporting in the Tapo app within a range of -20°~60ºC / -4°~140ºF. The E-Ink Display will only report a temperature range of 0°~50ºC / 32°~122ºF due to e-ink limitations.

Configure Your Ideal Comfort Zone

0f62c0b67ad34321a3a748f9ee21f50eThe Comfort Zone feature allows you to set a range where your temperature and humidity will comfortably fall.

When the sensor receives readings that are outside of your comfort zone range, you will be sent a notification. This is extremely helpful for Greenhouses or other rooms where the environment must remain consistent.

By default, the comfort zone will be set to 68°F and 78.8°F, but it can be customized to your needs.

Choosing an Operation Mode:

Temperature and Humidity Sensors have two operation modes, which change how sensitive the devices are to environmental changes. If your automations are triggering late or looking for more minute changes, you may consider using the High-Sensitivity Mode.

  • High Sensitivity Mode – Updates Date when the temperature change exceeds 0.3°C or the humidity changes more than 3%.
    • Results in Higher Accuracy, but will Consume More Power
  • Balanced Mode – Update Data when the temperature change is greater than 0.5°C or the humidity changes by more than 6%.
    • Results in Lower Power Consumption and Reduced Accurace of Sensor

 

Monitoring Your Home:

  • The History View Offers Daily, Monthly, and Yearly Summaries
  • Up to 2 Years of Data Exports with Customizable Intervals and Periods (Delivered to Email in CSVs)

Adding Your Sub-GHz Sensor to Other Platforms:

As with most other Sub-GHz Sensors, the T310 and T315 can be added to different platforms using the official Tapo integration or via the Matter-Bridging Feature of the H100 to compatible platforms.

  • When brought into a compatible Matter platform, the device will report the Humidity and Temperature shown in the Tapo App.
  • Please note that your platform may automatically determine the temperature unit. When adding the device to another platform via Matter, you may need to change the temperature unit from Celsius to Fahrenheit

 

 

Available Automation Triggers for Temperature and Humidity Sensors5888bcbaa205460b844ec0ca5d61f25f

When Selecting the Tapo T315 (or 310) as the trigger device for a Smart Action, you will be able to choose any of the following triggers:

  • Temperature Over ‘x’ Degrees
  • Temperature Below ‘x’ Degrees
  • Humidity Over Specific Percent
  • Humidity Below Specific Percent

 

Please Note that a Separate Warning Push Notification May Be Configured from the Device Settings under Comfort Zone.

 

Tips and Recommended Use Cases:

Automating Your home using temperature and humidity can be more complex than other sensors, such as Motion or Contact Sensors. Instead of being a simple on or off, these sensors will monitor a range of temperatures and wait for a threshold to be crossed.

The Sensor can detect relatively small changes in temperature and humidity, allowing for various uses.

  • In your Kitchen, monitor for large temperature drops, monitor food safety, or identify if the door was left open.
  • In your Bathroom, detect when the humidity changes due to a steaming shower, allowing you to turn lights to a specific scene or signal to your home that the day is starting.
  • In your Living Room, connect the plug to a fan or humidifier to automatically turn on whenever a room becomes uncomfortable.
  • Anywhere Else! Place the sensor in temperaturesensitive environments for monitoring, such as greenhouses, humidors, instruments, closets, attics, and more!
