@Leo-B I have exactly the same problem since today morning! 

It is not motion sensor problem, but Hub problem, because I have same problem with smart button 

  @NyGabor 

I'm guessing it's a hub Problem too, since the trigger is registered and I could see it in the Tapo App.. the lights won't simply turn on.

Sometimes some sensors work fine while others do not. it's very random.

Hi  @Solla-topee ,

here are the answers for your questions:

I can confirm when I manually turn on/turn off the bulbs/LED strips/whatever in the Tapo, then it is immediately do it. So it is working correctly. Only I have this delay issue when an automation triggered VIA THE HUB!!. If the automation is Hub independent (like turn on a bulb in a certain time, or turn off a smart plug in a certain time, etc.) then the automation is good, and the action take immediately. Again: the problem is appeared only when H100 hub is involved

1. About the automations:

Trigger: when motion detected

Action: turn on a L920 LED strip at 50% for 2 minutes between 9PM and 6:50AM  (this is a kitchen night light)

Trigger: when motion detected

Action: turn on a L510 bulb for 3 minutes (this is a toilet lamp)

Trigger: when smart button pressed

Action: turn on or turn off a L510 bulb (I use this as bedroom light)

All of the above automations are not working properly, and have delay issues.

Here you can see for example the kitchen light automation:

2. The activity log for the motion sensor looks like this, as you can see the automation is not triggered:

But after some minutes (2-4 minutes) the HUB finally trigger the automation, and do the desired action. Please see the same timestamps after ~3 minutes:

3. About MAC adress:

Trigger device: 28-87-BA-DC-3B-4B

Action device: 5C-A6-E6-A2-D3-F1

(as I mentioned I have more devices, and all of them has the problem, so again I say: this is a HUB problem)

4. Phone model does not matter I think, the automations should be executed without phone. Anyway I have Redmi Note 10, my wife has Samsung S22 and my son has Redmi Note 7, we use the app from all of the 3 phones.

5. Tapo app version: 2.10.6

Just one more thing... In the past I always could see the triggered actions in the HUB event log. But since yesterday it is empty. It says no events, which is definetaly not true:

I did the following actions: factory reset HUB, factory reset bulbs/LED strips, factory reset motion sensors. None of them helped...

Hi Solla, Thanks for your reply :)
 

I'm on the same boat as @NyGabor with the exact same behavior.

You've requested a video, Will try to make it when I find the time. For now I'm also sharing my logs incase they help.

The problem is with many automations like kitchen, hallway, bathroom etc. Below I'm sharing the bathroom automation logs.

Automation trigger: Motion sensor.

Automation action: turn on the bathroom light bulb for 1 min (on duration = 1 min).

The result is the action is extremely delayed 1-4 minutes.

Manually turning on and off the light bulb works instantly with no delay. there seem to be no wifi lag at all. I've done a lot of tests in this regards. my wifi latency is around 1ms between all devices. light bulbs below 100 ms and hub below 5ms.

Since running this automation has the exact same behavior and logs as the ones @NyGabor shared, I'm not gonna share them, instead I created the automation in a different way to make sure it's not a bug with the "on duration" option.

So the new Automation:

Trigger: Motion sensor

Action: Turn on the bathroom light bulb (without on duration).

Now I need a way to turn off the bathroom light after 1 minute, so I created a shortcut to turnoff the bathroom light with a delay of 1 minute like so:

Shortcut:

Action: Turn off the bathroom light

Delay: 1 minute.

I added the shortcut to the automation. This way I have an automation that will turn on the bathroom light (without the on duration option) and also calls a shortcut that will turn off the bathroom light after 1 minute.

The Automation looks like this:

And here is the shortcut:

BTW: Doing the automation in this way will let you turn on the light bulb with the "device last on state", unlike the "on duration" which does not support the "device last on state" and only turns the light on to a predefined color and brightness.. just a small tip, I think the "on duration" should support the "On last device state" but that's a completely different topic :P

Anyways, The new automation also did not work correctly, the extreme delay is still there. just like using the "on duration". Below are some logs, notice the time stamps and the delay in between when the motion was detected and when the automation was triggered:

And the event log of the hub is empty for me too:

I did a factory reset to the hub, sensor and light bulb... did not help.

And here are the rest of the info you've requested:

Phone: Xiaomi 12. Tried it with an iphone "same problem".

Tapo app version: 2.10.6 "latest".

Will send you shortly the MAC addresses of the hub, sensor and light bulb via PM.

Is there a way to get more verbose logs out of the devices?

  @Solla-topee 

All devices including the phone are on the same local wifi network.

Here is a ping to the Hub (kept it going for 2 minutes, no packet loss).

And to the bathroom Light bulb, also no packet loss:

For me it is very strange that Leo-B and me has the same problem started on exactly the same day. Did we have maybe a FW upgrade over the night and at morning we just faced the issue?

  @NyGabor 

For me it actually started a few days ago, it could still be a FW update that my hub/sensors grabed before yours.. no idea
