Hello,

 

I installed the bulb a couple of days ago and seemed to be working fine but then it came on around 5am. I changed the auto update time to the afternoon in case the 5am one was due to the 3-5am auto update and the next night it came on at midnight and then 5am. 

I have updated the setting if there is a power outage to turn back to last state instead of on. 

The only scheduled on/off are the ones I've done for the morning and evening which do not relate to these times.

There are no timers sets.

It isn't set to holiday mode

 

Is there anything else I need to check/update?

 

Do I need to try a hard reset if this continues to try to resolve? 

 

Is this a know issue with this bulb? If so is there a workaround?

 

There have been some brown outs in the area so I wondered if the power outage setting may have been triggered. Today it randomly altered the colour and brightness slightly.

 

I am the only person with access to it so it isn't another person altering any settings.

  @Unicorn_Rainbow New issue, this morning when it came on as per schedule it just flashed on and off constantly, wouldn't respond in app. 

Only way to stop was to turn off at switch. Seems like it went into some sort of setup mode? 

I will try setting it up again and see if issues continues.

 

I can see these is a known issue with the sort reset turning on/off 3 times which was in Beta testing few months ago (not sure if update has been released or if still in Beta) in areas of unstable power sources.  I was not aware I was in a particularly unstable area but do know a different part of the city had a short power cut about a week ago so there is potentially an issue in the area.

About the random turn-on issue, please check whether any automation rules have been set up for this device, either in the Tapo app or on linked third‑party platforms such as Amazon Alexa or Google Home, that could explain this behavior.

As for the reset issue caused by unstable power supply, the official firmware hasn't been released. If your device has experienced this issue multiple times due to unstable power supply in your home, we recommend trying the beta firmware. Tapo Smart Bulb Reset Method Update -- Reducing Bulb Resets Due to Unstable Power Supply
