Splash into a Smarter Summer
Sub-GHz Sensors, Matter Bridging, Apple Home, and Local Smart Actions
Welcome to our 2024 Community Event!
Over the past year, you may have seen many conversations revolving around our Smart Home devices, their compatibility, and our participation in programs such as the Matter Protocol or Works with Apple Home. To help, the focus for this year’s summer event revolves around these technologies and the recent updates made to the Tapo platform.
While our Giveaway is often the highlight of our summer event, this year, we have prepared a series of discussions and guides highlighting these features and your experiences.

This Week, we are focusing on the Apple Home platform and how you can use your TP-Link devices with Apple Home through either the Matter Protocol or Apple HomeKit. If you have heard of Apple HomeKit, looking for compatible devices, or want to know more – check our latest Story Article:
What is Apple Home, HomeKit, and Apple Home Secure Video?
It has always been our goal to provide devices capable of working with the Apple Home ecosystem, and we are always looking to hear how and why you prefer to use your devices in the Apple Home App.
If you missed the update earlier this year, the H100 Sub-GHz Hub can now be added to Apple Home via Matter Bridging. This allows you to bring your motion, contact, and temperature sensors into Apple Home for further automation. While this is a Matter Protocol Feature, Apple’s implementation allows your Tapo sensors to be seen by Apple Home.

Throughout the last year, we have seen the release of Tapo’s Sub-G Sensors, and we also spent the first few months of this year showcasing how they can be used to automate your home. These sensors have become even more powerful with the latest Smart Actions 2.0 update.
While our team has put together a few of our favorite automations used in our homes, we really want to learn how you have been automating your smart home.
