Model: Tapo P105  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.2.1 Build 230804 Rel. 190922

I recently bought a Tapo product Mini Smart Wifi Plug model P105.

 

My question is why I can't configure the Schedule, Timer and Away mode on my device. It always shows the Operation failed, please try again later.

 

Everything is ok, just the Schedule, Timer and Away Mode are not working. 

 

Is this a defective item or just a software issue? 

 

Model:               TapoP105

Serial Number :  2232048000852

 

Thanks and Regards,

Rasell

This Solution Applies To

Tapo P100(US) 1.0

Tapo P105(US) 1.0

 

Description

We recently discovered that Tapo P100/P105 users from the Philippines are more likely to experience issues with time-related functions such as schedules or timers after a power outage or network fluctuation. Initial analysis revealed that the problem was caused by an anomaly in the time calibration of the device under the local ISP network.

 

 

Solution

Fixed on the latest firmware

  • Tapo P100(US) 1.0, Firmware 1.4.4 Build 20240514 Rel.35017
  • Tapo P105(US) 1.0, Firmware 1.4.5 Build 20240514 Rel.36508

This problem is most likely caused by the abnormal synchronization time of the device. It is recommended that you try factory reset the plug and reconfigure it.

I have tried the reset option more than 5 times. Thr timer option will work for my P105 but eventually lose it all over again. Quite frustrating. Please let me know what is the solution to solve the issue. Thanks.

How often does this reoccur? What router are you using? 

 

If you notice this happens again, you may share the following information with me via private message, a specialist will help to follow it up.

1. Time of the recurrence. The more specific, the better.

2. Mac address of the Tapo plug

3. Your time zone

4. Tapo App version

I have the same issues on all 5 unit P105 plug after updating to firmware 1.2.1 build 230804 rev 190922

 

Now it doesn't follow the schedule.

 

I tried setting it up again without success

 

I hope TP can look up to check and fix the firmware.

 

 

Thanks

Did you get the same error when try to edit/save or create the schedule? Make sure device's time zone is consistent with your location. 

 

Try to restart the router so that the plug can re-establish network connection and synchronize the device time from internet,

I have the same issue after updates

 

I did reset my P105 plug for nth time but after some time it will not follow the schedules again.

 

Please check the app or software updates!

 

The picture below shows the schedules but after few days, it won't show the schedules again and the plugs schedule won't work again

 

Please help!

Please check if you can still remotely control the plug when the schedule is not working? Such as when using cellular data or connecting to a non-home WiFi.

 

Do you have any other Tapo devices? Do they experience the same issue, such as schedule failure or inability to be remotely managed?

Hi Wayne, I have similar issue. After the latest update, I observed that the timer and schedule only works every device reset. After next power loss, the timer and schedule doesn’t work. On/off options works fine though. I bought additional 2 plugs and are experiencing the same. I need my 3 tapo p105 plugs to keep the scheduled tasks working even after power interruptions are experienced. Hopefully, you can resolve the issue. I believe there might be a bug on the latest firmware (1.2.1 Build 230804 Rel.190922). Thank you.

Can you still control the plug remotely with cellular data network after they are restored from power loss?

 

Please be more specific about the problem. Does the timer or schedule doesn't take effect at all? Delay? Or you fail to create the timer or schedule?

 

Do the three normal P105 have the same firmware version as the other two? Version 1.2.1 Build 230804 Rel.190922?

Yes. I can control (on/off option) it over the cellular data after power loss but not the schedule or timer options.

 

After every power loss, the saved schedule doesn't work. It fails to create additional or delete any existing schedule as well. Attached is the error message. Setting timer is not also working.

 

Yes, even the new tapo p105 devices also show the same symptoms. I only have 3. I've been using the first module for almost 2 years now. It worked perfectly for the first year. I barely used it last year thus I cant tell when the issue even started. I thought it was defective thus I opt to buy new modules to use for my home project.

 

 

All are on same version as stated.
