Summary
Smart home solutions provider TP-Link has launched its new Tapo DL100 smart deadbolt door lock, offering multiple methods of entry for just $70.
The device can be opened via a keypad, a physical key, a mobile app, or even voice commands via smart assistants including Amazon’s Alexa, Google Assistant or Samsung SmartThings.
It is around $10 cheaper than a similar device from Wyze, but lacks a fingerprint scanner, although it does have both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity.
TP-Link suggests the lock’s batteries should last up to seven months, or 10 months when just using Bluetooth, while a USB-C port can be used as a temporary power source if the batteries die.
