TP-Link launches low-cost smart lock, integrated Wi-Fi, voice control

(Dan Tri) - Tapo DL100 has Wi-Fi and supports voice commands through smart assistants like Alexa.

TP-Link has just officially launched the low-cost smart door lock model Tapo DL100, expanding the Tapo smart home ecosystem with an extremely attractive option for ordinary users.

Priced at just $69.99, the Tapo DL100 offers a host of features typically found only in high-end products, including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, voice control, customizable PIN codes, and mobile app connectivity, while still maintaining a simple and easy-to-install design.

The first highlight of the Tapo DL100 is its versatile unlocking capabilities. Users can use the numeric keypad, physical key, the Tapo app on their phone, or voice commands through virtual assistants such as Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and Samsung SmartThings.

With this flexibility, Tapo DL100 is suitable for both young people who are passionate about technology and the elderly who are used to traditional keys.

Although there are many ways to unlock the Tapo DL100, the product does not support fingerprint unlocking (Photo: TP-Link).

Compared to its direct competitor, Wyze Lock Bolt , which is considered the best cheap smart lock on the international market today, Tapo DL100 is about $10 cheaper. However, Tapo DL100 does not have a fingerprint scanner like Wyze's product.

In return, the Tapo DL100 has built-in Wi-Fi, while Wyze requires users to connect to a smart doorbell to have similar functionality. Thanks to that, the Tapo DL100 works independently without the need for additional intermediary devices, saving costs and simplifying installation.

Another plus is the impressive battery life. TP-Link says that when used in Bluetooth mode, the DL100 can operate continuously for up to 10 months with 4 AA batteries.

If Wi-Fi is turned on, the duration will drop to about 7 months, which is actually still a very remarkable number in the popular smart lock segment.

In case of emergency such as power failure before replacing the battery, users can still temporarily supply power via the USB-C port, ensuring that it is not unexpectedly locked out.

TP-Link estimates that the Tapo DL100 takes about 15 minutes to install, and the expected battery life is up to seven months when using Wi-Fi or up to 10 months when using Bluetooth alone (Image: TP-Link).

In terms of durability, the Tapo DL100 is certified IP54 weatherproof, and can operate normally in light rain or in environments with water vapor. This makes the lock suitable for both outdoor and indoor installation, suitable for hot, humid and rainy climates.

With an accessible price, fully integrated wireless connectivity, voice control capabilities and mobile applications, Tapo DL100 promises to be a great choice for those looking for a modern yet cost-effective smart lock solution.
