Model: Tapo L510B  
Hardware Version: V3
Firmware Version: 119 build 240730 Rel.1808848

The bulb started switching on and off during the night for no obvious reason, even after removing bulb from lamp socket. I've had no problems with WiFi and nobody had touched the light switch on the wall. Can someone help please, because this doesn't give me any confidence to use any of these bulbs as security devices if I'm away?

Check if you've enabled the Away mode for the smart bulb. When the away mode is enabled, the smart device will turn on and off randomly, making it look like someone's at home. How to Set up Schedule, Away Mode, and Timer for Smart Plug/Bulb/Switch in Tapo App
