Hi,

 

My Tapo 304M is connected to my router and NAS ,today it decided to lost power for a fraction of second , which caused my devices to crash.

All the firmware etc are up to date. there was no load on the extension as well, it is plugged in directly to wall socket

 

NAS load was around 40W and router load was around 30W

Same here.

I have 3 though and one went down. Has about 45w on 2 sockets, and 4w on another.

 

What might be worthwhile noting, is according to my home assistant logs, from 4 hours prior to its lost power, it kept disconnecting from the 'cloud connection'... with an ever-increasing frequency, and towards the end, an ever-increasing amount of time spent disconnected.

 

I've two theories as a result;

 

- Something was coming down from the cloud telling them to reset their connection. Or..

 

- The disconnections, regardless of cause, are reflective of, or related to, something crashing on the strip itself. Which it eventually resolves with a full reboot.

  @leo1543 this is exactly what I saw in my home assistant logs as well

 

Many disconnect and reconnect state flapping from cloud connection and all the plugs also flapping from unavailable to on , eventually it did a full reset. 

 

Happened around 14:30 BST April 30

 

Strange indeed!
