Model: Tapo P100  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

I bought 2 P100, and am happy with them.

 

A question and a few comments:
1) P100 probably does not have an internal battery, as a result, its clock won't work if the source power is gone. In a scenario when the power is down for a while and then comes back but the Wi-Fi is unavailable, P100 may have problem to work on its stored schedule. What is its default clock? Or does it remember its latest clock and resumes from that time of point if there is no Wi-Fi?


2) In the schedule, the minutes to be selected ranges from 00 to 59. However, if the current time is at say 11:59 but you want to set it on or off at 12:01, you have to scroll long way backwards. It is better to allow minutes in rotation, i.e. 00, 01, ... 58, 59, 00, 01, 02...


3) I would like a feature of setting on/off in a random way: during a certain period, allow user to set on/off with a random period (say 3 - 16 minutes) and in a random interval (say every 30 - 55 minutes). I believe this is useful for home security if you want to turn on some lights randomly in the night.


4) I would also like to have an easy way of setting on/off time. The current way of doing it is very tedious if you need to set a dozen of timing points. It could have a tabular form where user can select multiple on/off timing in one go.

Tapo plug's schedule feature continues to works when the internet or even the wifi down. But if it is a case of power outage, and plug needs to be reconnected to the Internet to sync the device's time, otherwise, the schedule won't take effect after that. 

 

For the third point, Tapo plug has an Away mode feature. You may check if it meets your needs. How to Set up Schedule, Away Mode, and Timer for Smart Plug in Tapo App

Away mode is close to what I would like to have. But I want to have better user control of how randomly on/off is set.

 

The capability I want is something like this: between 6pm and 6am the next day, for every 20 to 30 minutes (randomly), turn it on for 5 to 8 muntes (randomly).
