@Loraine-P That's great, i'm glad to help!

Hello everyone, the issue discussed in this thread has been addressed in the official firmware 1.6.1 Build 250324 Rel.173226.

@OliverC That response time seems normal. Is your automation rule controlled locally by the hub? If not, switching it to local control might make it a bit faster — though the difference usually isn’t...

@Chi1701 There is a feature called “Light On/Off Gradually”. Without it, the bulb turns on and off immediately. You can check whether it is enabled in the bulb's device settings page.

@Fcariesco1 This article should help, take a look. What should I do if my Tapo camera triggers false detection?

@trebor123 Please check your recording schedule, was it setup correctly?
