Model: Tapo S200D  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version: 1.12.0 build 231121 rel.092444

When i try to create a new smart action, i am unable to assign it to the button.

 

The screen where you would presumbaly 'accept' the action has no 'done' or 'accept' or 'save'  button on it - seems like a glitch.  if i press the back button it prompts me with "leave this page without saving changes?"

 

i therefore cannot assign an action.

 

anyone else experience this? I have not had this problem before.  It now applies to prexisting buttons and actions too.

 

I have removed and reinstalled the app - just the same - i then installed it on someone elses phone with the exact same problem.

 

strangely when you try and scroll the page the text "new shortcut" jumps around on the screen.

It seems like you need to create an automation, instead of a shortcut.

The "Create" button on the upper right corner, is this the save button you looking for?

Thanks for the thought, but no sadly.   

 

That creates a brand new action to then be .  Which brings me back to this page which I can't then save.    

 

Gah

I don't quite understand the problem you're trying to explain. The screenshot you posted is the page where you can create a new shortcut, it's not the page where you can edit an existing shortcut. Is that what you're trying to do, edit an existing shortcut?

  @Wayne-Tthe problem I have is that I am unable to choose a shortcut or an action and then accept it. 

 

I just want the button to do the action, but I cannot assign the action to it.  

 

If I try to leave the page it will always say 'leave without saving'.  But I do want to save/assign  the action to the button.

 

I am unable to get the button to do anything at all
