Model: Tapo L530B  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version: version 3.15.106

Can somebody please tell me if it's possible to schedule my Tapo L530B smart bulb so that it switches on automatically at a set time and then switches off automatically at a different time. For example to switch on at 16.00 and then switch off at 20.00 every day. I only seem to be able to make it either switch on automatically or switch off automatically but not both

 

I tried calling the helpline but they didn't seem to know.

 

I've tried setting a schedule but this only seems to allow me to either switch on automatically or switch off automatically but not both.

 

The helpline suggested using the 'away' function but I don't want the light to randomly switch on and off during that period. They also suggested the timer but that of course is a one off function to switch on or switch off after a set time

 

Thanks.

I got the answer from TP link Technical Support. For anyone who is interested, you have to set separate schedules to turn on and turn off the light automatically i.e. one to switch it on at x hours and a separate schedule to switch off at y hours. Obvious when you think about it but it could be clearer in the app.
