Tapo's new $70 budget smart lock is packed with features

The Verge27-05-2025

TP-Link has announced a new budget-friendly electronic door lock joining its Tapo smart home line that's launching today for $69.99. Despite the entry-level pricing, the new Tapo DL100 Smart Deadbolt Door Lock offers multiple unlocking methods including a keypad, a physical key, the Tapo mobile app, or voice commands used through smart assistants like Amazon's Alexa, Google Assistant, and Samsung SmartThings.
The Tapo DL100 is about $10 cheaper than the Wyze Lock Bolt which we selected as the best budget smart lock in our buyer's guide. The new Tapo doesn't offer the convenience of a fingerprint scanner like the Lock Bolt, but it does come with Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. Wyze's budget option is Bluetooth only unless you pair it with the company's video doorbell.
With Wi-Fi turned on, TP-Link estimates the new Tapo DL100 will run for up to seven months on a set of four AA batteries, but that can be extended to up to 10 months when only using Bluetooth. Should the batteries die unexpectedly and you've lost your key, the smart lock can be temporarily powered using a USB-C port.
For enhanced security, the Tapo DL100 supports a feature called pin masking where you can enter your access code as part of a larger string of numbers to help obscure your PIN. You can also set up one-time codes for visiting guests, or codes for service workers like repair technicians that only work during specific times of the day.
The smart door lock is also compatible with Tapo's smart doorbell giving you the option to unlock the door while seeing a live preview of who's standing on your porch. The mobile app also delivers notifications when the door has been locked and unlocked, and keeps detailed logs – including those on specific users – based on which codes were used. The Tapo DL100 also comes with an IP54 weather-resistance rating so it can survive getting wet during a rain storm or an accidental blast from a hose.

Video shows crane delivers Jeff Bezos' furniture to penthouse after billionaire closes down 5th Ave

Must be a perk of Prime. A stretch of Fifth Avenue was closed for a massive delivery to Jeff Bezos' sprawling NoMad penthouse, according to a mind-blowing video shared on TikTok. A huge piece of wrapped furniture dangled from a rope as a crane last week slowly hoisted it above the intersection of Fifth Avenue and 26th Street, which was lined with caution tape, barricades, machinery and moving company trucks. 4 Dozens of workers milled about, directing traffic and joining passersby in watching as the item neared the top of 24-story 212 Fifth Ave., where Bezos reportedly owns five apartments spanning the top four floors worth $119 million. Raffi Arslanian, the owner of luxury candle company Thompson Ferrier, caught the commotion on camera Saturday. 'You want to see how Jeff Bezos delivers his furniture? Let me show you,' said Arslanian, whose office is a block away. 'I think we all can relate to this,' he joked. 'Now back to reality, where, when we move, we get a U-Haul and we do it ourselves, or at best, we get a company to do it — but we don't close the street,' Arslanian quipped. His video has garnered more than 970,000 views and thousands of comments, some speculating about what giant object the crane was transporting. 4 4 'It's a hot tub,' said one commenter. A grand piano, suggested another. Others were more interested in how much the operation cost. 4 Large-scale moves using cranes can cost upwards of $20,000 a day, according to reports, and require permits to shut down the streets. 'Amazon prime delivery, billionaire subscription,' one TikToker joked. 'We would all do the same if we had 100 billion dollars,' another remarked. Bezos, worth an estimated $223 billion, according to Forbes, between 2019 and 2021 plucked up one unit after another in the former office tower overlooking Madison Square Park.
