TP-Link Tapo T315 Review: Crystal-Clear 2.7″ E-Ink Smart Thermo-Hygrometer with 24/7 Temperature & Humidity Monitoring

Hello, I’m Itsuki (@saigalog), someone who prefers to avoid LCD displays that become hard to see in the dark.

We have thermometers with LCD displays placed all around our home, but I had given up, thinking that it’s unavoidable that they become hard to see at night or in the shadows.

The TP-Link “Tapo T315” that I’m reviewing this time overturns that common sense about thermometers, featuring a 2.7-inch E-ink display in a smart digital thermometer and hygrometer.

An E-ink display is what’s commonly known as electronic paper, characterized by being easy to read and gentle on the eyes, as well as low power consumption.

What’s excellent is not only the screen, but also that it is equipped with a Swiss-made high-precision sensor that monitors temperature and humidity 24 hours a day.

It keeps logs so you can check the history at any time, and you can also operate smart devices using temperature and humidity values as triggers.

In this article, I will thoroughly review the easy-to-read and highly accurate smart digital thermometer and hygrometer “TP-Link Tapo T315”!
