Will Tp-link ever add an option for off to (Last"On" State) to have the smart bulbs stay off after a power outage? It's very annoying to come home to a house with all the lights on after a power blip or at night.

  @BP-Raleigh,

I will make sure to forward the feedback, however I have suspicions that this setting is done due to how it could affect the overall experience when moving or reconfiguring a plug. Without the light turning on from power, the bulb may look different while being reset. I will see if there is a reason that this is not available, or if there is another way that this behavior could be limited.

 

As odd as it is, if you have a light that is never turned on, you could actually configure a smart action to look for that light to turn on and then execute a smart action to restore your lights to an off state. I have also seen others set this to 1%, just to make it less jarring when the lights do turn on.

Thanks

 

Setting it to 1% still means the light will be on if the power blips or goes out and is restored. It seems like this has been requested for a long time with no resolution. I would prefer the light bulbs to return to the state it was on when the power went out even if that state was off, espcially if I am sleeping. No one likes to be awakened if the power blips in the middle of the night by all the lights being on.

Any update on whether or not there's a reason for this feature not being available? Every other reputable company seems to have this feature and I'm seriously considering switching my smart device ecosystem over to one of them to avoid discovering all my lights have been on for 6+ hours while I was away.
