Tapo L510 Lights and Power Cuts
Hi,
We sometimes do get occasional power outages, these can last a few seconds or a few minutes.
its really frustrating that when the power comes back on ALL of my Tapo lights come on as well.
Anybody got a workaround for this?
many thanks

Many Tapo light bulbs support configuring their default state to the previous state (turns on if it was on, and vice versa) after being restored from a power cut.
Go to the Device Settings page of the smart bulb, then you can find the Default State option. If this feature is available on your device, you can configure it to the expected effect.

Not sure there is an official work around for this but what I did was I created a routine using the alexia app. I added every light in my house in the routine and when i say alexia turn off house it turns off all my smart lights
You could also create a group in alexia to do the same thing

Could you ask the devs if they can provide a firmware update so that this setting as well as others could be applied to every smart bulb? I have over 30 in my house and its going to be a pain to set them one at a time
Maybe once you change the setting it ask if you want to apply the current setting to all bulbs?
