Hey @Hojni,

The BT-enabled devices help dramatically with set up and will prevent your phone from having to switch networks during setup - which is where this behavior usually originates from.

Tapo devices, in general, should not have a problem connecting to networks with a mixed band network. If it is having difficulties, it is often the result of a network setting conflicting with the device's switch to 2.4GHz and may be a simple setting change - but we normally recommend configuring an IoT network so you do not have to change settings for your main network.

Furthermore, recent releases will always have more up-to-date hardware and will have a higher amount of compatibility with networks using the latest tech.

Hey @rjenk,

There has definitely been a significant increase in this type of request, and I am working with our product team to come up with a few different solutions for potential future releases. Colored switches and dimmers are still planned in our roadmap, but depending on our findings, we may have a feedback opportunity in a few months to help us understand the scale and use of colored switches/plates.

Hey @Bucci1584,

While I cannot provide any specifics, It is definitely on our teams' radar. Make sure to keep an eye on announcements coming over the next few month as we may be able to soon provide an update.

  @Bucci1584,

As an FYI, our HS220-BL (Black Dimmer Switch) officially launched this week, now bringing white, light almond, and black variants to both the HS200 and HS220. You can find the device on Amazon.
