Automation Camera/lights
Hello!
I've created an automation that when the camera detects a person entering the home after sun set, the lights should turn on!
The problem is that they turn on 1 by 1, instead of all together! I've tried the automation by adding the group of lights and also by adding the 1 on 1!
Any thoughts?

What's the signal strength of the smart bulbs (Tapo app > device control page > Device Settings > Device Info, tap the WiFi or signal icon to show the RSSI rate)?
Automation commands are mainly issued through the cloud server, so there may be a delay in execution between different devices.

The signal is at:
-47 (RSSI)
-44 (RSSI)
-42 (RSSI)
-41 (RSSI)
3 full bars (max) on the Wifi logo, before clicking on it to see the RSSI.
I don't use any hub! Would it help?
I've also noticed that the first time (each day) when I do a shortcut it has a little bit of delay. For example I have a shortcut to activate all lights (right now, just 4), and the first time I use it each day, it seems to take extra time or turns on just 2 or 3, and after a while, activates the last one.

How many L630 you have in one automation? Do they always turn on one by one? What is the time interval? Like 1s?
Or do they turn on in random combinations? Any pattern? For example, two bulbs turn on together and then another one lighting up after 1 second, 2s later another three turn on, etc.

Only 4 lights!
"Do they always turn on one by one? What is the time interval? Like 1s?

As i mentioned in the previous message, it's seems to happen only in the first time each day that I do a "Shortcut" or an "Automation". Regarding the delay/cadency, it seems random. Sometimes they light up 1 by 1 with 2 or 3 seconds in between, sometimes 2 at the same time and the last 2 individually. I haven't figured out a pattern yet.
For example, I have a "Shortcut" to activate all 4 lights. Yesterday, the 1st time i used it that day, they went on 2x1x1, with a 1 second or 2 in between. I then proceed to shut off all for lights (whitin the group), they all shut off at the same time. Next I ran the shortcut to activacte all lighs again, and all lights turned on at the same time.
