• Model: Tapo D235/Tapo D225/TD25 V1.0 
• Firmware version: 1.1.13 and 1.1.14
• The doorbell is hardwired-powered and set to Always On mode

Description

When Tapo doorbell is set to Doorbell Mode in Night Mode Settings (doorbell Device Settings page > Video & Display > Night Mode Settings), the spotlight will turn on automatically when someone rings the doorbell and turn off automatically when no movement is detected (enter infrared mode).

However, if your doorbell is one of the model mentioned above and meets the specified conditions, you might encounter an issue where the spotlight fails to turn off automatically and stays on continuously.

Note: the doorbell's LED indicator is NOT the same as the spotlight. When the LED (indicator) is set to Auto, it will light up when movement is detected or when watching the doorbell live stream. And it has several color options. On the other hand, the doorbell mode turns on the spotlight, which will be much brighter than the LED indicator.

Solution

Fixed in firmware 1.1.15 and 1.1.16 versions.
