Nuki Smart Lock Go vs TP-Link Tapo DL100

TP-Link Tapo DL100 for most buyers: a full deadbolt with keypad, one-time codes, anti-peep entry, a doorbell button, IP54 protection and hub-free Wi-Fi at a lower price. Nuki Smart Lock Go wins on integrations, adding Apple HomeKit and Matter, and on renter-friendly retrofit installation.

No, and this usually decides the purchase. Nuki Smart Lock Go retrofits over a European cylinder with no drilling and keeps your key. TP-Link Tapo DL100 replaces a standard deadbolt and fits 54 mm and 38 mm lock bores, so it targets US-style doors.

TP-Link Tapo DL100 has a backlit keypad built in, storing up to 200 codes with per-person groups and an activity log. Nuki Smart Lock Go has no keypad, fingerprint reader, NFC or Apple Home Key on the lock itself; those come from separate Nuki accessories.

Nuki Smart Lock Go does: full remote and smart-home access requires a paid add-on. TP-Link Tapo DL100 includes 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, so remote locking, notifications and the activity log work from the start with no hub and no subscription.

Only Nuki Smart Lock Go, which supports Matter, Apple HomeKit, Google Home, Alexa, SmartThings and Home Assistant. TP-Link Tapo DL100 works with Alexa, Google Home and SmartThings using PIN verification, and has no Apple HomeKit or Matter support.

Renters and owners of European cylinder doors who want to keep the original lock and key while adding auto-lock, hands-free auto-unlock and Apple Home support. Be aware of the paid remote add-on and reports of motor failures. Otherwise TP-Link Tapo DL100 is the more complete lock.
