Model: Tapo L510E  
Hardware Version: V3
Firmware Version: 1.1.9

Trying to create a Shortcut for my Tapo lightbulb L510E. Followed the guide in FAQs. I go to add the action "Turn on/off a device" however there are no devices to choose from.

There are several different types of widgets to choose from, for example, the Shortcut widget, Device Control widget, Device Status widget, etc. Make sure to select the correct widget type.

 

If you select shortcut widget but you haven’t created a shortcut in the Tapo app, nothing will be added to the widget. How to create Smart Action (Automation or Shortcut) on Tapo app
 

Make sure device's firmware and Tapo app are both updated. How to update the firmware of the Tapo devices on the Tapo App
