Smart Plug scheduling lacks a master ON/OFF switch — safety and usability issue
Model: Tapo P110 / P100
Firmware : 1.4.0 Build 251020 Rel.161559
App Version (Android): 3.16.185
App Version (iOS): 3.17.103
Hello @Solla-topee and @Wayne-TP,
I would like to report a usability and safety issue with the scheduling system for smart plugs (P110/P100).
1. There is no way to disable all schedules for a single device
If a user wants to temporarily use a smart plug manually, they must:
- open the Schedule list
- disable every single ON/OFF event one by one
If even one event is left enabled, the plug may turn on or off unexpectedly.
This is especially problematic for heaters, radiators, fans, or any temperature‑related device.
2. This creates real safety risks
If a user forgets to disable one schedule:
- a heater may turn on at night
- a radiator may activate when nobody is home
- a device may power up unexpectedly
This is not just inconvenient — it can be dangerous.
3. Smart Actions do not solve this
Smart Actions:
- are global
- do not disable schedules
- do not override existing timers
- require navigating a long list
They are not a substitute for a simple device‑level control.
4. Request
Please forward this to the app development team.
Smart plugs need a “Disable All Schedules” switch at the device level, ideally:
- on the main device screen
- or at the top of the Schedule page
- with a clear ON/OFF toggle
This would greatly improve safety, usability, and user confidence.
Thank you for your attention.
Best regards,
John
