Model: Tapo L920-5  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.1.11 250313 095031

The task is simple, but seems to be impossible. 
 

I have the motion sensor T100 and the lightstrip L920. 
 

The lightstrip should go ON when the sensor detects motion. 
 

However, the lightstrip is on when pluged in, or after a power outage. 
 

Is it really impossible to say the lightstrip to stay off when plugging it to power?

 

Hue has an option how the lightstrips behave after power outages (on/off/last state)

 

did I buy the wrong product? Is there a workaround, or did I miss something?

Yess! There is no ‚Turn On/Off‘, but there is a (translated from German) in the section ‚original condition‘ -> ‚last on state‘ and ‘user defined‘, the ‚last on state‘ does the job, if the lightstrip was lnltlially off, before the power cuts off. Thabk you!

Not sure if this feature is available on your device, you can confirm this yourself: go to the light strip's Device Settings page in the Tapo app, click Default State, check whether an 'Turn ON/OFF' is available. This feature will adjust the lighting device to its previous state after being restored from a power cut.
