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.

Power cycle the smart bulb, then scan the Matter code on the box or in the Tapo app to complete the setup on other Matter platforms.

@Wayne-TP Hi Wayne, I just sent you a message with my account, is it possible to get beta firmware update based on account, not based on MAC/Serial for individual device? I have really a lot devices, and this is frustrating on every power problem, they are reset and not available. I have like 40-50 bulbs for the summer house.
Please tell me that you can read all bulbs and stripes associated with my account so i can update all of them? :)
