I bought this Tapo D235 doorbell as an upgrade from the D230s1 I had. However, it seems more like a downgrade…

1. After 4 days I only had 80% battery left. Over 210 days per full charge, so no way…
When someone rang the doorbell, it often took a few minutes before the message arrived on my smartphone. Then the person who rang the doorbell was already gone of course…
2. To charge the battery, the bell has to be dismantled (goes smoothly with a click system) and connected to a charging cable for 6 to 7 hours. So you do NOT have a doorbell during those hours… (the previous version D230s1 has a removable battery. So you quickly swap it with a charged one when it is empty)
3. The micro SD card that stores images locally is in the doorbell itself. A smart thief will also take your doorbell with him, and all images and evidence will be gone. (With the D230sa, the SD card is in the supplied hub that you can give an invisible spot in the house, so images remain in your possession if the bell is stolen)
4. I wanted to set the sound of the doorbell over the entire house. So with the supplied Chinese + an automation to my 2 hubs H200 that I already have. It turned out not to be possible, it can only be done with the H100 hubs…

I am generally a fan of the Tapo products, but this one is very disappointing… Unfortunately it is going back and my old doorbell D230s1 can go back on the wall.

The doorbell often goes offline and does not come back online. I have to reinstall the doorbell. This happens regularly every 2 days.
