How many devices can connect to a Tapo Hub at the same time?

Introduction

This FAQ explains the device capacity limits for Tapo smart hubs. Understanding these limits ensures your hub operates reliably and performs optimally for all connected devices.

Key Concept

IR Devices: Infrared-controlled devices that communicate with the Tapo H110 via infrared signals.

Application

To ensure stable performance and reliable operation, each Tapo smart hub model has a maximum device capacity. Staying within these limits helps maintain optimal connectivity and responsiveness for all your connected devices.

Below are the maximum number of devices each hub model can support: (Numbers in parentheses indicate the maximum number of cameras/doorbells that can have continuous recording enabled simultaneously)

Note:

• Smart devices with multiple control units, like a 2-gang switch, each control unit is considered as one device in the smart hub’s connection. For example, when adding Tapo S220, a 2-gang smart switch, to the Tapo smart hub, it is counted as two devices. Similarly, smart temperature and humidity sensors like the Tapo T310 and T315, which measure both, are counted as two devices.
• You can control multiple hubs from one account. Devices can only be paired to one hub at a time.
• When a Camera/Doorbell is added to the smart hub with continuous recording enabled, it is recommended to connect the smart hub to the router via an Ethernet cable to ensure optimal video transmission quality.
