Model: Tapo P100  
Hardware Version: V2
Firmware Version: 1.2.1

I've seen a few threads saying the Tapo P100 schedule works when the internet is not available but I am not experiencing this. I have a single plug for my internet router and I set up a schedule to turn it off and night and on in the morning. It goes off alright but does not come back on in the morning. I conducted a seperate test to turn it off and back on and got the same result. So can we confirm that this smart plugs schedule does not work when the internet is not available?

I'd like to confirm whether you use the Schedule feature on the plug or the Automation feature. It's worth noting that automation also supports triggering the device on and off at specific times, but it relies on an internet connection to function.

 

Try to replace the device connected to the plug with something else, or leave it unplugged. Then, disable the network connection for the plug on the router and retest to see if the plug's schedule functions in this scenario.

Very good point, thanks Wayne, I was indeed using automation and not the schedule. I have set up a schedule now instead and will test it today.

 

Thank you for the support
