Hi!
I wonder if there is 3D Dashboard? Like the image below (from TP-Link website):
That looks so cool, and if so, will this feature available on phone devices?
The 3D dashboard is not available in the early beta stage, probably will be added in the subsequent beta versions. Or, it might be introduced until the production version.
At the moment, we don't know whether this will be supported on phone devices. Initial design is for pad devices.
Hello, I registered for the beta version a few weeks ago. Now i have received my iPad that I want to use for this. But when I install the tapo app I get tapo 3.0 version and not the beta version. Is there anything I can do myself to install the beta version on my iPad?

@The_chosen_one The test has not yet begun. If there are any updates, the content of this article will be updated accordingly, so you can keep an eye on it.
By the way, did you submit the test application in the community? It seems I didn't receive any PM from you.
Hi,
Unfortunately the beta display doesn't work well on Samsung Fold4. Previously we were able to view the live and recorded using the full screen however with the beta, the screen opens up tiny, won't fill the screen with no option. We view in portrait and landscape but the beta views you can't see much at all.
Unfortunately the feedback form is no allowing me to upload screenshots
Many thanks
Freue mich die Beta testen zu können
Hello everyone, we're excited to inform you that the testing has begun!
Please be noted that there's an update on how to participate. Now you can join this early access directly by clicking the hyperlink at the end of this article!
Love it!
First impressions:
Finally more columns!
Device pop-ups should be wider in landscape mode.
In the left panel, there should be a category for sensors.
The German translation for switches is not Wechseln, but Schalter.
My KE100s are still missing...
Hi aroedl,
da du wahrscheinlich aus Deutschland kommst, schreibe ich auf Deutsch. Ich werde aber eine Übersetzung anhängen, für den Rest ;-)
Bei mir wurden die KE100 komplett erkannt und funktionieren auch traumhaft.
Hattest du sie vorher per Kasa-App eingebunden und diese in den Apps verknüpft?
Also unter ICH > Tapo mit Kasa verknüpfen?
Das hat bei mir wunderbar geklappt...
Was leider noch nicht geht, die KE100 auf einen Tapo Hub umzuschlüsseln. Vielleicht kommt das ja noch.
Dann könnte ich die Raumthermometer und Fensterkontakte nutzen.
Aktuell überlege ich die alle händisch auf den Kasa-Hub umzuresetten, damit ich sie vollumfänglich nutzen kann.
Und ein Traum wäre es noch, wenn man für die 110er Steckdosen eine bestimmte Leistung als Auslöser nutzen könnte.
Ich nutze sie als Messgerät für ein Balkonkraftwerk und würde darüber bei genug Leistung etwas schalten...
Zu den Abmessungen innerhalb der App gebe ich dir Recht, das sollte nochmalös angepasst werden.
Aber es ist schön, Fortschritt zu sehen!!!
Beste Grüße Peter
In English:
Hi aroedl,
Since you're probably from Germany, I'm writing in German. But I'll include a translation for everyone else. ;-)
For me, the KE100 were fully recognized and work perfectly.
Did you set them up via the Kasa app first and link them in the apps?
In "ME" > Link Tapo with Kasa?
That worked perfectly for me...
What still isn't possible is switching the KE100 to a Tapo hub. Maybe that's coming.
Then I could use the room thermometers and window contacts.
At the moment, I'm considering manually resetting them all to the Kasa hub so I can use them fully.
And it would be a dream if we could use a certain power level as a trigger for the 110 outlets.
I use them as a measuring device for a balcony solar power system and would like to switch things on or off if the power output is sufficient.
Regarding the dimensions within the app, I agree with you; it should be adjusted again.
But it's nice to see progress!!!
Best regards,
Peter
To make it short:
Never used the Kasa App, everything is connected to the Tapo H100 hub, not the Kasa KH100 hub. KE100s are connected to the temperature and contact sensors.
Everything worked fine, but out of the blue the devices disappeared. Nothing has changed on my side. I can see the devices in the old version of the Tapo app, my wife can see them as shared devices in her app (current stable version).
