Model: Tapo T315  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

Tapo constantly misses triggers - I am not sure for what reason - but for me it makes whole system useless as I need it to turn on and off heaters depending on temperature - if it is unreliable i will have -15 degrees cecsius in my house.

issues:
1. Tapo hub only connects sensors but whole steering is done remotedly through wifi and internet (with remote home with slower and not reliable internet it is useless). It should connect locally and steer all devices locally and just share all information with remote server.

2. If you have smart action that eg. checks if temperature is below 5 degrees and should turn on sockets (with heater connected) and for some reason it misses a trigger it wont check that condition periodically to correct "error" 10 seconds, 1 hour or 10 days after. Tapo should check all triggers periodically and also check if any trigger was triggered correctly - if a temperature is below 5 degrees and tapo sees that smart action is active and socket is still turned off
then it should turn it on immediately !
3. Smart actions are checked (if any of devices state should be changed) only when created - it should be checked also when i turn them on !!! otherwise I need manually check all devices if are at right state to trigger next action correctly!


Issue 1 is a matter of whole concept so probably not possible to change by tapo but 2 and 3 should be implemented immediately - otherwise whole system is not reliable and useless. I need to check other systems - maybe they work different way and are more reliable.

To activate an automation requires something to happen, like a change in the device state or the arrival of a certain time, this is a one-time behavior. 

 

For the scenario you mentioned, it requires the cloud to detect the state of the sensor at all times or at regular intervals, which is not the current automation design trigger logic.

 

If there is indeed some reason that causes cloud to miss receiving sensor automation trigger, you can try to setup another automation to monitor the sensor status (If condition) at a fixed time (set trigger as time) and execute the required action. 
E.g. When at 17:00, If T310 temperature is over 30℃, Then xxx.

 

You can add more than one trigger in an automation, and the automation will be activated when any of the triggers is met.
