Model: HS103  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

I want to setup a schedule or routine to run my pump 1 minute on, then off for 9 minute and then on for 1 minute again, and 0ff for 9 minutes, repeatly.

I setup a smart action like that:

Smart Action 01:
If Pump turn ON
Then Pump turn OFF
Delay 1 minute

Smart Action 02:
If Pump turn OFF
Then Pump turn ON
Delay 9 minute

But it does not work. If I manually switched it on, then it will turn off after 1 minute, But then it does not turn on anymore.

If I manually switched it off, then it will turn on after 9 minute, But then it does not turn off anymore.

 

Looks like the smart action only recognize the plug status by manually switch it on or off. It does not recognize the action trigger by schedules or smart actions.

 

Please help, I know some other brands has similar function, they are called inching or cycling or recirculation. I just do not want to change to other brand just because of this.

Just consulted with the team and learned that looping automation cannot be achieved through actions as triggers at present.

 

My speculation is that this could be due to security concerns, as infinite looping automation may pose risks, especially for devices controlling electricity like plugs or switches.

  @Wayne-TP Any chance to make the situation work? I want to start a pump 4 times a hour for 3 minutes.

An available workaround is to use Tapo automation. In Tapo Automation, delay is an independent action item. You can insert multiple delays in one automation. 

 

HS103 is supported in the Tapo App, you can simply synchronize the existing kasa plugs to Tapo App by linking Tapo with Kasa. How to Add Kasa Devices to the Tapo App

 

For example:

When at xxx time,

Then:

Turn on HS103
Delay 1 minute
Turn Off HS103
Delay 9 minutes
Turn on HS103
[repeat...]
