To have the option to customise the action, to either control a smart device OR turn off the relay would be very useful.

I agree. I will buy more tapo smart bulbs if tapo switches worked in this way.

This was the whole reason I bought the s210 switches thinking I would never leave the bulbs in offline mode or unresponsive I just bought and installed like 6 of the switches hoping to replace my dumb ones that would leave the bulbs offline.

  @aroedl Hi I kinda solved it with two automations in Tapo app, sorry this works because I have both Tapo switches and Tapo bulbs.

 

Step 1: set a delay (under the Delayed Shutoff) option on the switch on the switch to 5s

 

Then create these two automations, frist one is off automation, so if the light was already off, The Delay in 20s is to allow the bulb to become responsive in the app again (essentailly online)

 

Not the greatest and its confusing the light changing status all the time. But it keeps the switch on so other automations on the bulbs can keep working. 

 

 

second is the on automation where someone taps the switch to turn on the light,
