Model: Tapo H100  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

Automations triggered by buttons/switches are delayed by about a minute. This problem comprises more than one product category and is likely a server problem.

 

Example:

 

My Tapo system has an automation: Double-clicking button S200 runs the shortcut "switch off all smart plugs attached to the system". Normally this happens almost instantly. Now it takes about a minute after double-clicking the button until the automation is executed.

 

The problem started about 24 hours ago and re-appears intermittently.

Troubleshooting:

1) The double-click o the button is registered by the hub and correctly appears in the event log without delay.

2) Tapping the shortcuts in the Tapo app also executes them without delay.

3) Only when 1) and 2) are combined by an automation does the probem occur.

4) Restarted hub, app, phone

5) It doesn't matter which shortcut is run or which button action is used (tap/rotate…), the execution of the automation is always delayed by at least a minute, but will eventually execute successfully.

6) No other components are affected. Cameras work normaly, sensors attached to the hub update normally.

Is your automation a local smart rule -- marked with a Tapo icon? If not, then making it local smart might help. Your automation should be qualified as a local smart rule, if you don't see the Tapo icon, there is a beta firmware for the hub that could help. Take a look at this article: Why Can't Local Smart Rules Be Created Under Tapo H100 Control?

  @Wayne-TP Thank you, I'll try that if the issue persists (right now it's working again). I have lots of automations, but none of them are controlled by the hub locally; they are either not qualified or the regular firmware doesn't support it.
