Questions about TP-Link Tapo D235

The D235 model can be connected directly to the router via radio (WLAN), a separate hub is not absolutely necessary. The doorbell establishes a Wi-Fi connection to the router in order to communicate with the Tapo app. However, a Tapo Hub/Chime can also be connected as a ringtone extension, but this is optional and not a must for the basic function. (Manufacturer information and user experience confirm the direct WLAN connection without a hub).

Yes, you can have any hub ring H100, H200 and H500

The maximum distance at which the product can operate depends mainly on the available Wi-Fi connection. The device uses 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, which generally has a range of about 30-50 metres indoors, but can vary considerably depending on the environmental conditions and obstacles present. There is no specific information on the maximum distance for communication between the doorbell and the indoor chime, but in general, the Wi-Fi connection must be stable to ensure optimal operation.

No, you cannot currently bind the Tapo D235 (Wireless) directly to the Tapo H200 hub to use it as a doorbell without needing a separate doorbell set with a hub. The current firmware of the H200 does not yet support the Tapo D235 as a doorbell or video doorphone, although it is planned to add this function in future firmware updates.
