Firmware Version: 1.0.11

Hello,

 

I have a KS220M smart motion dimmer and I'd like to set a delay for how long the light should stay on after detecting motion.

This article seems to imply it should be possible:

 

https://www.tp-link.com/ca/support/faq/3154/

 

But the UI in the app doesn't match the screenshots there. For example, for trigger, it's not possible to select "Motion" or "Motion Detected When It's Dark" like in the screenshot. Instead, the only options are on or off.

 

But more importantly, setting a rule to turn off the switch after a delay doesn't actually work - it gets turned off by the default (short) delay instead.

I noticed when going to Featured Actions, there's even an Auto-Off Timer action that seems like it should do what I want, but again, setting a longer doesn't seem to work.

 

Is there a way to make this work? Is this a bug in the latest app version? Or this never worked?

This feature is on switch's device settings page, not in the automation settings. Please check the article carefully and follow the steps there.
