Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

I recently bought to L535E bulbs. But they have different firmware numbers. They both say they are up to date. Yet one is 1.1.8 and one is 1.4.1 which means I have different options for each bulb. One has Auto Biorhythm and one doesn't. Any ideas??

New firmware is typically released in phases and is not sent to all devices at once. If your device has not yet received a newly released version, just be patient as the release scale will be expanded gradually until full rollout.

I've seen the same behavior. The app says that the three L535e have hardware revision 3.0. In contrast, the packaging says that these are version 3.2. 

 

I use 6 L535e one has Firmware 1.1.5, two 1.1.8 and three have 1.4.1. 

 

I can’t understand the thing with the different rollouts since I have three different versions — how long should a rollout take or how long until it is completed?

For Tapo L535E, hardware version 3.0 is the same as the V3.20.

 

About the firmware, the 1.1.8 is a beta version, did you apply any from the support team? You can check this article to learn what this beta is about. Tapo Smart Bulb Reset Method Update -- Reducing Bulb Resets Due to Unstable Power Supply

 

The release cycle for new firmware is not fixed and may range from a few weeks to several months. If your device is functioning normally, you don’t need to monitor firmware releases closely. To ensure your device updates promptly when a new version is available, you can enable the “auto-update” feature in your device settings.

 

If you are experiencing a specific issue with the product, we recommend reporting them directly in a dedicated post describing the specific problem.
