Step 1. Open the Tapo app, tap the plus icon in the top right corner, and choose Add Device.

Step 2. Select Sensors and click on Tapo T100.

Step 3. If you have more than 1 hub, you’ll need to select the hub you want the sensor to connect to. If there is only 1 hub, you’ll skip this step automatically.

Method 2: Via SYNC button

Step 1. Put your Tapo motion sensor into pairing mode.

Step 2. Put your Tapo hub into pairing mode.
