Hello all

I love your light bulbs and the use we can make of it.

BUT

I've got a big suggestion, can you limit the time in which three on/off's are needed to reset or re-initialise the bulbs

Yesterday and today passed 4 hours to re-install all the light bulbs because of the bad weather that cut of the electricity several times in 24 hours with the consequence that all bulbs where in the installation mode and were ofline .

If you limit the three "on and off's" for reinitialising ,in a total limit of 3 minutes, it would help a lot of people to avoid this really anoying problem.

I do not think there is a limit at themoment because some bulbs worked yesterday but at the cut offv this morning they were aff line.

Thanks for your interest in this problem solution

Have a nice end years holidays

Nicolas

@nicoels

Are you suggesting that the reset operation can be modified to allow three off/on actions within three minutes? Wouldn't this make it easier to reset the bulb compared to the current method?

To soft reset a Tapo smart bulb, we need to turn it off and on three times, a total six switches, and the whole process takes less than 30s. Personally, I think this type of operation is not that easy, quite challenging for a non-tech-savvy. And such frequent power outages are rare as well.

hello

no I ´am not suggestion but proposing that your company limits the delay within the three on/off's, so that a lot of intemperate resets will be avoided.

@nicoels

What you are describing here still seems to be what I guessed before. Wouldn't fewer on/off times make the device easier to reset?
