Tapo P304M

Description

In Tapo P304M's energy monitoring graph, specifically the Energy Used chart, there are instances of random spikes in electricity usage that do not reflect the actual energy consumption. The power consumption data may show values that are dozens or even hundreds of times higher than normal usage.

Solution

We've located the problem cause and will release a new firmware for fixes. 

Before the official firmware release, we have prepared a beta version that can help resolve this issue.  If you would like to try this beta firmware, send a private message to @Wayne-TP in the following format:
