Hello all,

I have a smart bulb linked to 3 T100 detectors and programmed for the bulb to lit when a motion is detected between sunset and sunrise.
It seems that the Sunset / Sunrise actual time are not coordinated with my location (France) as the program starts working around 19.00 when sunset is around 17.00. 

I cannot find anywhere in the Tapo app where to modify/change the parameters for the sunset/sunrise. Is the programme supposed to adapt automatically to the location? If so how is it done?
 

Many thanks and happy festive season
 

Nicolas

Can you share a screenshot of your automation settings here? Please send me your TP-Link ID (email) that has this automation created (in Tapo app) through private message. We'll help to check it.

Hello Wayne,

I have sent you via PM my TP Link ID.
Here is a screenshot of the automation settings. Sorry it is in French. (Temps effectif = running period; coucher du soleil= sunset; Lever du soleil (Jour suivant) = sunrise next day

 

Thanks and best wishes for 2025
