TP-Link Tapo DL100 runs about ten months on four AA cells with a USB-C emergency port. Wyze Auto-Lock Bolt v2 runs about eight months but needs eight AA batteries, which is part of why it is noticeably bulkier, and it also has a USB-C emergency port.

TP-Link Tapo DL100 at IP54, marginally ahead of the IP53 rating on Wyze Auto-Lock Bolt v2, though neither is built for full outdoor exposure and both are happiest under a porch or overhang.

Anyone who wants fingerprint entry at a value price, with a very quick install, built-in Wi-Fi, notifications and an access log, especially alongside other Wyze devices. For codes, a doorbell button, longer battery life and broader assistant support, TP-Link Tapo DL100 is the better buy.
