Model: Kasa KS225  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

I recently transitioned my smart dimmer lights to the TP-Link Kasa/Tapo platform, utilizing the KS225 dimmer switches. On my previous platform, a highly valued feature was the ability to implement a "night mode" or "bedtime setting."

 

This functionality allowed me to define a specific timeframe (e.g., 10 PM to 6 AM) during which the lights would automatically activate at a predetermined low brightness level (e.g., 20%). This was particularly useful for situations where I needed to briefly turn on a bedroom light while others were sleeping, preventing the abrupt activation of full brightness. Outside of this designated "night mode" timeframe, the lights would revert to their last-used brightness setting.

 

I kindly request the incorporation of a similar "adaptive brightness" or "night mode" feature within the Kasa/Tapo app for your dimmer switches. This would significantly enhance user convenience and comfort.

Actually you can do this through automation. The required time frame can be set in the automation effective time. For example: from 21:00 to 07:30 (next day), when (Trigger) the dimmer switch is turned on, then (Action) set it to 3000K, 30% brightness.

 

There are more automation skills if you use Tapo app to manage the Kasa switch. How to create Smart Action (Automation or Shortcut) on Tapo app
