Is it possible to have the bulb brightness go up and down gently when powering on / off? All of the previous generation KL130s ramp on and off smoothly, but my one L353 is just immediately on, and it feels raw and unpolished.

I wouldn't put more in my home unless / until there's either a firmware update or an app setting to make it feel less industrial and more homely.

Any advice welcome!

Oh - I just found this in a settings page within the settings page...  

I'll leave this here rather than deleting the post so that the answer shows up for anyone else searching the forums.

  @Wayne-TP Exactly the same results here. I set up a new Tapo P125M with no issues whatsoever in both the Tapo app and HomeKit, then moved on to the L535E. Could add it to the Tapo app but HomeKit was a no-go. The bulb would never connect as a new accessory after the QR code was scanned, and attempted to use the "more options" proximity option as well, using the numeric code--no dice. Worked with it for about an hour before giving up. 

Neither unit actually has "works with HomeKit" as part of its labeling, although the TP-Link support site says that using homeKit is no problem. 

Definitely did not work for me, too much of a hassle to deal with if the initial HomeKit discovery doesn't work.
