r/Tapo

I was really excited to see the new D260 doorbell. I currently have a Ring that I've been itching to get rid of, but I have it set to ring my existing chime. It looks like the D260 makes you pick between ringing the existing chime or 24/7 recording, is that right? I really wanted both :(

I wonder why it doesn't come with a little bypass device that goes in the chime box like some other doorbells have?

Hi all, I'm helping my father decide whether going for smart home using Tapo products will suit his needs.

He wants to be able to set up a schedule and a temperature condition. Something along the lines of:

WHEN: between 11PM and 6AM

IF: temperature is below 19 degrees Celsius

ACTION: turn on a smart socket (to which a radiator will be connected)

He wants to be able to set up multiple schedules per day and he wants the software to continuously check the temperature (using information from TAPO T315 for example) between said time, not only on one specific hour.

Is that achievable? I searched for an answer online and found information that there are automation rules based on WHEN - IF - ACTION standard, but not sure if WHEN action is sophisticated enough to handle "check constantly between X and Y hour" command.

Is there anyone who set up something along these lines in their homes? I will appreciate any help regarding possible solutions, thanks!

I am making another post about this, because I have been doing some extensive testing.

My C675D lags and stutters when viewing the 4K stream in the Tapo app.

Several people have said that solar powered cameras aren't designed for it, and I completely refute that idea, simply because I have no issues with a Eufy and Reolink 4K solar powered camera.

Anyway, I decided to buy the Tapo C575 for testing purposes. I have it plugged in to mains power, and I set up the Wi-Fi connection first.

The 4K stream still lags and stutters when viewing it in the Tapo app. I then reset the camera and plugged it in via Ethernet this time.

The 4K stream in the app is about as bad as you can get; pretty much unviewable due to stoppages.

I decided to enable UPNP and created an account so that I could use an RTSP stream in OBS. The RTSP stream is 4K and it's perfect!

I decided to install an Android emulator on the PC, and install the Tapo app through that.

The stream via that method is also terrible.

The problem seems to lie within the Tapo app. The question is why?
