Model: Tapo S200D  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

Would it be possible to implement a toggle for the activation of skills that allows on and off to be pressed with the same button or activation.

 

My issue:

I have numerous S200D buttons which turn on and off lights on the tap and double tap. I've bought a few more to use as manual back ups for people unaccustomed to my smart home setup.

The issue arises because the E14 SES bulbs in my main lights are not made by Tapo. Tapo don't make these bulbs. The bulbs that are in there use the smart life app. I figured that I'd just have to automate them in Alexa, however, the ability to toggle the same button for on and off isn't available. I read that it's part of the Alexa skill.

 

Can this be implemented please?

It does allow me to turn it on or off. Just not as a toggle. It takes 2 different commands, one for on and one for off. A toggle would only require one.

This action skill, "on/off toggle", should be provided by the light manufacturer. It is not a thing that another brand can control. You may raise this feature request post to the brand of your smart light bulbs.

Hi,
The Tapo S200D supports to be a trigger in the Alexa routine. If you want to control other brands' bulb with the Tapo S200D via the Alexa Routine, it's suggested to confirm if the bulb supports to be turned on/off as an action in the Alexa routine.
Best Regards

  @DeXtA211  Are you referring to using the S200D toggle on/off the E14 SES bulbs by toggle on/off the bulb's Alexa skill?
