Thursday
Model: Tapo L530E  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.3.1

Hi,

 

I've set up a custom wifi network on my router on which all IoT devices are. This network intentionally has no access to the internet. From previous forum posts I've got the feeling that this operation mode is officially supported.

 

However, I've noticed my two L530 lamps are constantly disconnecting from the wifi network in a very short interval. In the following screenshots you can see the lamp disconnects within minutes multiple times from the network which causes ~80% of packet loss. The packet loss is very noticeable as most actions from the app (including the discovery of the lamps) take very long.

PS: I'm not sure whether my devices are L530E or L530B models as the app only states "Tapo L530 Series"

  @bruhasdf Yeah its quite unfortunate, I too have an isolated network with no internet access, everything else apart from the bulbs works fine. I used uptime kuma to monitor the uptime for a day, and for me the bulb is offline exactly every 10 minutes for exactly 1 minute. I guess the firmware checks for internet connection and restarts the bulbs network connection if no connection is established. Hopefully they fix the internet connection dependency in their next firmware update.
