How do I set up a smart action on a Tapo Smart Plug to turn on for 1 hour, then turn off for 7 minutes, and repeat indefinitely?

  Hi @Makarov,

 

The Tapo automation does not allow loops to be programmed.

 

However, one way to do this  is to create an automation which triggers at any of the following times... midnight, 1:07am, 2:14am, 3:27am, etc.

 

Then include the following actions:

- turn on the smart plug

- Delay 1 hour

- turn off the smart plug

 

Not perfect as you will have some spare minutes left over as a day is not an exact multiple of 67 mins.

 

If this is good enough then feel free to let me know if you need more detailed instructions....

 

Also, I'm not sure how many triggers you can add to a single automation. If you can't add them all then you may need to add 2 cycles of the actions with a 7 minute delay in between.

@Makarov  The above suggestion can be a workaround for your needs. Up to 64 actions can be added in one automation.
