2. Open the Tapo app on your smartphone or tablet.
3. Follow the in-app instructions to add a new device and select the Tapo T110 sensor. The app will guide you through the pairing process.

3.3 Mounting the Sensor

The Tapo T110 sensor consists of two parts: the main unit and a smaller magnet. For optimal performance, mount them on a clean, dry surface using the provided 3M adhesive strips. Ensure the two parts are aligned and within 15mm (0.59 inches) of each other when the door/window is closed.

The sensor can be placed on various items beyond just doors and windows, such as cabinets, fridges, or mailboxes, to monitor their open/closed status.

4. Operating the Sensor

The Tapo T110 can serve as a trigger for Smart Actions within the Tapo app. This allows you to automate other Tapo smart devices based on the sensor's status. For example, you can program the sensor to:

• Turn lights on or off when a door is opened or closed.
• Disable your Tapo security camera when you open a door.
• Activate the Tapo Hub's 90dB ringer as a warning or deterrent.

5. Maintenance

5.1 Battery Replacement

The Tapo T110 operates on a single CR2032 battery, offering up to 2 years of performance with typical usage (less than 30 triggers per day). When the battery is low, the Tapo app will notify you. To replace the battery, gently open the sensor casing and swap the old battery with a new CR2032 battery, ensuring correct orientation.
