Model: Tapo P100  
Hardware Version: V2
Firmware Version: 1.2.5 Build 240411 Rel. 143808

Until yesterday my plug was working with no problems and now it shows as offline in Google home. I have searched for similar issues and followed all the advice in there to fix it but it's still offline. It works fine within the Tapo app
 

- I have unplugged both devices. Powered up Google home then plugged my Tapo plug back in. 

- unlinked my Tapo account with Google home and re linked them

- tried reconnecting the plug multiple times. It is always showing as offline

Please verify whether the smart plugs are still connected to the cloud -- can they be controlled remotely (e.g. using cellular data or connect to a non-home WiFi) with Tapo app? Third-party control fails when Tapo remote control fails.

 

If that's the case, you may check the troubleshooting tips here. Cannot use the Tapo app to control my smart devices

hi Wayne, Yes I can still control the plug via the Tapo app when my phone isn't on the WiFi network - I didn't even know I could do that!  Until now!
