Just installed a HS220 and was annoyed by the delay. A google search landed me here. I've installed the beta firmware and agree that the delay is much reduced. However, it's still not as quick as the HS200. It would be nice if it could be. Regardless, I hope to see this or a better fix in an official firmware update soon. Thanks!

v2 with the latest firmware (1.08) and still a long delay. The app turns it on instantly, the physical switch doesn't. 2 years and still not fixed. Glad I didn't buy more to replace the rest of my switches. A company can't even get turning on a light right, I can't trust them with anything else. TP Link wasted my money on this, I won't trust any TP Link product.

It's been nearly six months since the v2 beta came out. How long could it possibly take to test and release this update? Please hurry up already

Delaying the single tap speed to accommodate a double tap feature - even if double tap is turned off - is possibly the dumbest product decision in history.

  @Solla-topee  I successfully installed the beta software update for HS220 v1 for two switches in March 2022. I just connected another HS220 v1 and ran the upgrade tool and received an Upgrade Fail message. The upgrade tool shows Build 200214 Rel.152651 for the new switch and the two that were upgraded in March show Build 220225 Rel.170240. What do I need to do to get the new switch updated to the beta software?

  Hello @mmcd75 

Thank you for the further feedback. I will need to double-check with our team if the HS220 V1 the latest software has embedded this improvement/fix. 

If beta update failed you could try some basic troubleshooting, like temporarily turning Windows firewall or antivirus software off, make sure PC is connected to Tp-Link Smart Switch SSID and could ping IP address 192.168.0.100.Here is How to Use the Ping Command

Any updates here? Even though I set the double tap to None, and Fade On speed to Instant, single tap instant on is still slower than double tap instant.

 

This is with both Hardware Version 2.0 and 3.0. Both take about 1 s to turn on or off

Still nothing after all these months? How long could it take to put out this simple firmware update ??

Installed the beta firmware and while instant on is better, there is still a small delay as I can see the brightness LED indicators on the switch turn on about 1/4 second before the lights actually turn on. These should be simultaneous.

 

Also, a much needed fix if anyone from TP-Link is reading this: the lower the brightness is set to, the longer it takes for the lights to come on. Not sure why this is but anything under 50% and there is a full second or more delay until the lights turn on. At my lowest brightness setting, it takes a full 3 seconds for the lights to turn on.

I have a v3 version with the same annoying delay...I've disable long press and double tap, still slow to turn on 

 

Any beta firmware for v3? 

 

 

Same. I have a version 3.8 (shows 3.8 on the box but 3.0 on the app??) and there's a delay. Have you found any beta firmware yet?
