Add Your Sub-G Sensors to Other Platforms via Matter Bridging

The Tapo H100, H110, H200, and H500 now all support Matter Bridging - allowing your compatible sensors to be seen directly by Alexa, Google Home, SmartThings, Apple Home and Home Assistant. After adding your Tapo Hub as a Matter Bridge to Another Platform, you will also see your compatible sensors added to the destination app.

After you have added your Smart Hub to the Tapo App, a QR Code and Manual Pairing Code can be found under Device Settings > Bind to Matter

 

Note: On-Device Matter Codes are not Multi Admin Sharing Codes

• The QR Code on the device is separate from the QR code found in the app.
• The QR Code on the Device is for the initial device setup and will not work after the device is configured. Please generate a multi-admin QR code to set it up on another platform.
• In-App Multi-Admin share codes expire after a predetermined duration set by your Matter Controller.

 

How Do I Get My Mult-Admin Matter Setup Code from the Tapo App?

• If the Device was First Configured in Tapo, your Multi-Admin Code can be Found in the Tapo App
• If Your Device Was Setup with Another Platform Directly Before Tapo, You Code Will Be Found in their App

To Get the Code from the Tapo App Needed to Add a Device to Another Controller, Follow These Steps:

1. Open the app the Matter device (H100 Hub) originally paired with and go to the device’s settings menu.
   1. For the Tapo App, Navigate to the H100 Hub > Device Settings > “Bind to Matter(Beta)”
2. Create an 11-digit setup code (or use the QR code) and copy the Setup Code
3. Open another app you want to use to control the Matter device and follow the app-specific instructions for entering the Matter-pairing code (or by scanning the QR code from the Tapo App).

Frequently Asked Questions:

What Tapo Sensors are Compatible with Matter / Matter Bridging?

The T100 Motion Sensor, T110 Contact Sensors, and T310/T315 Temperature and Humidity Sensors are Compatible. The S200B/D and T300 Water Leak Sensors Are Not Yet Compatible; However, Compatibility May Arrive via a Future Firmware Update

 

How Many Platforms Can a Matter Device Be Added To?

The maximum number of platforms depends on the device, specifically the number of "fabrics" supported by the device - most commonly seen is 5.

• Generally, One Platform = One Fabric
  • Traditional Wi-Fi Setup through the Tapo App Does Not Count as a Fabric
  • Apple Home Connections Consume Two (2) fabrics

 

Why Aren't all Sensors Compatible with a Third-Party Matter Platform?

Device compatibility depends on multiple factors. First, the device must be supported by the underlying standard. Many devices that do not support this feature have not yet had all their necessary functions added to the Standard or to the accompanying platform, such as Smart Button Support in Google Home.
