S210 on off automation not triggering from remote activation
I have an automation that fires when a Tapo S210 is switched on (switch something else on as well) which works fine if you press the switch, however I also have another automation that switches on the S210 if the temperature drops and in this case the "switch on" automation does not fire. Is this by design or a bug?

@Wayne-TP As if by magic... There was a firmware update to the button, switch and plug this morning... And now it all works!
Please thank whoever fixed the bug and give a kick to the test team for not spotting it ;)

The changed value must cross the set threshold to activate the automation. Please observe the temperature or humidity changes of your sensor to see if the trigger conditions are met.

@Wayne-TP I've cheated and taken the temperature condition off, so that the automation should just fire when the switch comes on. It does if you manually push the button or click it in the app, but if another automation sets it off (say a timer) then the subsequent "on" trigger does not happen. Looks like a bug to me!

@Wayne-TP Hiya, what settings would you like?
I could set up a test switch to see if I can replicate the behavior.

@Wayne-TP OK, These tests show that down-stream triggers/actions do not happen on the S210 using the on/off trigger
This is only a test scenario to demonstrate that downstream triggers do not occur, I can obviously bypass the switch to achieve the P110 changing, in reality I have 2 or three things hanging off the switch (outside lights from smart plugs, solenoids on S210 & indicators and smart bulbs.) The Switch acts as an agregator for the actions and gives a physical overide.
Test scenario:
Smart Button S200b, Smart Switch S210, Smart Plug P110
Automations:
- When S210 is switched on -> Switch On P110
- When S210 is switched off -> Switch Off P110
- When S200B is tapped -> Toggle S210 on/off
- Switch Automation: 14:00 -> Switch on S210
- Switch Automation: 14:05 -> Switch off S210
- Schedule Automation: 15:00 -> Switch on S210
- Schedule Automation: 15:05 -> Switch off S210
Action/results:
Turn S210 on in app -> S210 on & P110 On (OK)
Turn S210 off in app -> S210 on & P110 Off (OK)
Press S210 on Physically -> S210 on & P110 On (OK)
Press S210 off Physically -> S210 off & P110 Off (OK)
Time =1400 -> S210 on & P110 on (OK)
Time = 14:05 -> S210 off & P110 off (OK)
Time = 15:00 -> S210 on & P110 no change (BAD) - 1 did not trigger
Time = 15:05 -> S210 off & P110 no change (BAD) - 2 did not trigger
Tap S200B -> S210 toggle to on/off & P110 No Change (BAD) - neither 1 or 2 triggers
