I'm having an issue with my Tapo setup and hoping someone can help.

 

My automations stop working whenever the internet is down, even though all devices are still connected to the same WiFi network. I’m using the following devices:

 

  • H100 hub (Hardware 1.0 / Firmware 1.6.1)
  • T100 motion sensor (Hardware 1.0 / Firmware 1.13.0)
  • L535E light bulb (Hardware 3.0 / Firmware 1.4.1)

 

All devices are on the same network and updated to the latest firmware.

 

The automation I set up is very simple: when motion is detected, the light should turn on. However, when I check the app, the Tapo "Home" icon for that automation is not showing, and the automation itself doesn’t seem to trigger at all without an internet connection.

 

Is this normal behavior, or am I missing something in the setup?

Thanks for the response. I tried the steps provided in the link but wasn't successful.

 

Regarding the workaround, I know I can send a request so that my device can receive the beta firmware. But I'm wondering when will this beta firmware be released officially?

  @Penpal0072 We don't have a timeline for the official release, but we will make sure the community is notified when it does.
