Tapo H100 - Firmware 1.5.23 and earlier versions

Description

To create a local smart automation, your setup must meet the following requirements:

1. Supported Firmware: The Tapo hub's firmware must support this feature. *The latest firmware for Tapo models H100, H110, H200, and H500 all support local smart automation. Update your Tapo hub if it is not in the latest version. How to update the firmware of the Tapo devices on the Tapo App

2. Compatible Devices & automation skills: The trigger and action devices and the selected skills must be of a supported type for Tapo Local Smart. If you select an unsupported device type or skill, the automation will not qualify for local smart creation.

3. Same Hub and Network Subnet: All selected devices in the same automation must be sub-devices under the same Tapo hub. Additionally, Wi-Fi devices should be on the same subnet as the hub. Local smart automation cannot be created if you include a device from a different Tapo hub or a Wi-Fi device from a different subnet.

If you are using a Tapo H100 hub with firmware version 1.5.23 or earlier, you may occasionally find that local smart automation cannot be created successfully, even if everything else appears to be in order. If you are experiencing similar issues, please refer to the solution/workaround below.
