It adds Bluetooth alongside Wi-Fi, reaches Samsung SmartThings on top of Google Home and Alexa, and backs its backlit keypad with a doorbell ring button, one-time guest codes and anti-peep entry between random digits, none of which the Arrive offers. The Schlage Arrive is the more established mainstream option, with a top BHMA residential rating behind its electronics, though it does not out-spec the Tapo DL100 on any measured category in this comparison. Both keep a physical key as a final backup, though only the Tapo DL100 adds a USB-C emergency power port for when its batteries run low. Buyers who want the most complete feature set for the money, including a doorbell button and flexible guest codes, should pick the TP-Link Tapo DL100, while anyone drawn to a longer-established lock brand can still consider the Schlage Arrive.
