@Riley_S thank you. App is now update (the support page still needs to be updated). Yes there are the new kind of widgets but the Tapo app on iPad doesn't have the options to input the devices to them. Not that I can find. Can you please find out exactly how we get widgets assigned up for a Tapo device. Again, the instruction page lacks the necessary info to use them, same with the in-app info. See attached and other screenshots I'm posting
@Riley_S nothing helpful here about assigning a device to the widget
@Riley_S no devices can be added to widgets because there is no option to. Also, the pictured question needs significantly more information and instruction
@Riley_S still nothing here to add the device to the widget
