Model: Tapo S200B  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.1.0

I am trying to setup a new switch. It failed to connect to the H200 hub - I have tried to reset it but cannot get it to the flashing LEDs as per instructions (5 sec press then 3 quicks presses). I have tried removing the battery as well as rebooting the hub multiple times. Is there any other way to reset it?

Thanks

Is this S200B same region code (e.g. US/EU/AU, etc) as the H200 hub? Devices with different region codes run at different frequencies and cannot be used together.

 

What is the state of the device LED when you try to reset it? Stay solid green? Try to change a battery if you have a spare one and make sure the back cover is firmly locked.

I believe to have the same issue as you, @JonNz.

 

The LED is usually in it's off state, I hold down for 5 seconds and for each second it blinks. I then I let go and the light remains stable. Then I quickly press 3 times as per the instruction, and it blinks once — and turns off in it’s usual off state with no blinking, or anything.

 

I'm starting to think that this may be a location-based issue? Assuming you are from NZ from username as I am too. I am looking at getting a replacement, however I fear I will run into the same issue with the product.

My location wasn't the issue - it matched all the other devices on my network. I think it just bricked whilst doing the initial firmware update. I took it back to the shop and they replaced it and the new one worked fine.

Are you able to pair this smart button to the hub in this case? How to Pair and Connect Tapo Sensors, Buttons and Other Devices to Tapo Hub

 

Change the battery if you have a spare one.

 

*Make sure to check whether the Tapo hub and the smart button are the same region version (e.g. EU, US, AU, etc).

I've got the same issue here. The difference seems to be that mine was working fine for over a month, then it suddenly decided to stop operating my bulb (L510B). Resting does not work, rebooting does not work, region codes are fine. I've emailed support as the device is less than 5 weeks old, so I hope to get it swapped.

 

Hello all btw :)
