Question 1

How to Add A Group for Your Tapo Devices

Accepted Answer

Feature Description

A group is a collection of devices that you can tap a single action to control all devices belonging to that group. It is accessible on the home screen just like any other device.

You can group together smart plugs, smart switches, and smart bulbs. If you grouped together a bunch of smart bulbs, you will see the color picker and all of the other bulb-related features you would expect if controlling a single smart bulb. This will help reduce the number of unique screens needed to support the feature.

If you have a group of six smart bulbs and drag your finger around the color picker, all of the 'color' bulbs change color simultaneously and smoothly. Other bulbs that are non-color bulbs will remain unchanged.

Groups will exist in a new "GROUPS" category in the device list and they will appear like a basic device with a name, icon, and on/off switch.

Accepted Answer

Shortcut

Shortcut lets you achieve an action with a simple tap. For example, when you are ready for bed, you can turn off your smart devices for safety and dim your lights for better sleep with one simple tap.

There are 3 featured shortcuts in the Tapo app, including Leave Home, Arrive Home and Go to Bed. You can edit based on the featured shortcut or create your own shortcut.

Automation

Automation allows you to set interactions between your smart devices by adding triggers and actions. For example, if the smart camera detects a motion (which is a trigger), then the living room light will come on (which is an action).

There is a featured automation in the Tapo app, which helps automatically turn on the lights in your home at sunset. You can edit based on the featured automation or create your own automation.

Note: Only Tapo smart bulbs support this feature currently. For Tapo smart plugs and smart cameras, the support will be added soon. Please stay tuned for the software updates.

If you still have any problems, please contact support

Question 6

How to unbind cloud account with devices in mobile App

Accepted Answer

Before we begin:

You could unbind the cloud account by removing your devices on the corresponding app. For NC series cameras, you can use the tpCamera app to remove the device, and for smart home products, you can use the Kasa app to remove the device.

Note: Once the device is removed from the app, the device would be reset to the factory default settings by default, and you need to reconfigure it from the very beginning if you want to control the device on the app again.

Using an HS110 as an example in Kasa App.

Option 1: Press and hold the device on the screen and you will see the “-” option.

Option 2: Tap “Remove Device” at the bottom of the Device Settings page.

Using an NC450 as an example in tpCamera App.

Tap the icon of gear to enter the Camera settings page, then you can tap “Remove Camera” at the bottom to remove the camera from your cloud account.
