The TP-LINK TAPO T100 consists of the following parts:

LED: An indicator light on the front.

Cover: The back cover that can be removed to access the battery and reset button.

Mounting Stand: A stand used for mounting the sensor.

Reset Button: Located inside, under the cover.

Battery Compartment: Holds the CR2450 battery, located under the cover.

The TP-LINK TAPO T100 is part of the Tapo Smart Ecosystem, which allows you to turn your house into a smart home. A Tapo Hub is required to act as a bridge. The TP-LINK TAPO T100 works with a wide range of Tapo accessories, including:

Window/Door Sensor

Temperature & Humidity Sensor

Smart Switch

Smart Hub

Smart Button

This integration allows you to easily control and monitor your home from anywhere.

You can create a Smart Action to automate your smart devices and activate them all with motion. You can customize your own Smart Actions to group your Tapo products together any way you want. Examples include:

Build Smart Alarm: Pair the TP-LINK TAPO T100 with a Tapo Hub. When motion is detected, it can trigger the hub’s alarm to frighten away unwanted visitors and send you notifications via the Tapo app.

Set Night Light: Pair the TP-LINK TAPO T100 with Smart Lighting. It can automatically turn on your assigned smart lights when you get up at night.

Set Automatic Lighting: The smart light turns on as people come and go, then can be set to turn off automatically after a period, such as 2 minutes.

Before you start, you must have a Tapo Hub already successfully added via the Tapo app.

1. Set Up Your Sensor

Tap the ‘+’ button in the Tapo app, tap Sensors, and select your model (Tapo T100). Follow the in-app instructions to complete the setup.

2. Check the LED & Set Up

Check if the LED on the sensor blinks. If you are setting up the device for the first time, you may need to remove the battery insulation tab first. If the LED does not blink, use a pin to press and hold the Reset button for 5 seconds. Follow the app instructions to complete the setup.

Testing Your Sensor

After setup, take your sensor to the preferred location and wave your hand in front of it to test it. The Tapo app should show if the sensor is triggered.

Placing Your Sensor

You have three options for placing your sensor:

Option 1: Magnetically attach it to metallic objects.

Option 2: Stick it to a clean wall with the included 3M adhesive.

Option 3: Place it on a shelf or table.

Detection Area Guidelines

For best results, the sensor should be aligned with the detection area and placed as close as possible to the edge of a table or cabinet. The installation height should not be higher than 2 meters. The sensor can detect motion up to 7 meters away within a 120° field of view.

After successfully setting up your TP-LINK TAPO T100, you can view and manage it from the Tapo app.

Home Page

This page lists all the devices you’ve added. You can view them directly and manage them easily. Tap the card for your motion sensor to enter its Status page.

Home Page Settings

Long press on a device card to access options. You can reorder cards, remove the device from your account, share your device, favorite/unfavorite it, or relocate it to another Home.

Status Page

Here you can check all events from your sensor in the Event Log. Slide the panel up to check more settings or tap the gear icon to enter the Settings page.

Device Settings

From the Settings page, you can check/edit basic info, set Notifications settings, view the User Manual and Placement Guide, or remove your device from your account.

Notifications Settings

Turn on Notifications if you want to receive app notifications when your sensor detects an event. You can set the time you want to be notified, such as Always, During the Day, During the Night, or a Custom Time.

The sensor can work with other Tapo devices to automate your home. You can customize smart actions based on templates. This makes your home safer and smarter.

Follow these steps to create a Smart Action using a template:

1. On the sensor’s Status page in the Tapo app, tap Explore Smart Actions.

2. Choose a template (e.g., “Turn on a night light when you get out of bed”) and customize the smart action based on the template.

3. Select the specific devices (like a smart plug or smart switch) you want to take action when the sensor detects an event.

4. Customize the settings as needed. Under the “Then” section, you can specify what the device should do (e.g., Turn On). You can also turn on Delay Action if you want the action to take place some time after the sensor detects an event. For example, you can set a delay of 3 minutes.

5. Set the effective time for this smart action. You can choose “Always” or set a “Custom Time” with specific days of the week.

6. Once done, you can go to Smart (Smart Actions) > Automation to check the item. You can toggle it on/off to enable/disable the action, tap to edit, and swipe right to delete.

If your device is mounted on the wall with 3M adhesive, please remove the main body from the mounting bracket first.

1. Remove the mounting stand from the cover.

2. Insert a shim or use your fingernail to lift the clip.

3. Twist the cover anticlockwise to remove it.

4. Remove the old battery. Insert the new CR2450 battery into the battery compartment, making sure the battery is level and its positive side is facing up.
