Description

In the future release, the Tapo smart bulb is planning to update its reset mechanism, removing the 3 times off&on method. Once the update is implemented, resetting the Tapo smart bulb requires an operation of 5 times off&on switches: 
1. Turn the smart bulb to the On state.
2. Turn it off, then on.
3. Repeat five times, with 1-second pause in between (each off&on).

 

This modification will be helpful in situations where the smart bulb gets reset frequently due to an unstable power supply at home.

 

 

Pre-Release

Community users can receive early access to this new update. If you want to try out the new update, follow the steps below to apply the beta firmware.

 

 

How to Apply Beta Firmware

*Note: the pre-release is currently available only for the models mentioned under "This article applies to."

  @Wayne-TP I confirm it's now harder to reset them. Thank you.

I've sent you request for new firmware to one more device.

  @Wayne-TP I am so glad this is in the works. My bulbs keep resetting frequently because of unreliable power and setting them all up again is a pain (I own like a dozen of these bulbs). Thanks for this update and look forward to the official release.

This is great news Wayne. I have 8 L630's on two kitchen switches and they seem to be plagued by this issue.
