Model: Tapo L530E  
Hardware Version: V3
Firmware Version: 3.9.208

I use a Tapo smart bulb in my bathroom, controlled by a regular switch (no motion detection).

 

- During the day, I want it bright white.

- After midnight, I want it dim red.

 

The problem: When the switch is off, the bulb misses the scheduled change and always turns on white. I have to manually adjust it to red at night.

 

I’ve tried both the built-in schedule and automation, but neither works. I have no way to keep the switch on for the light bulb throughout the day.

 

Is there a way for the bulb to recognize missed events and adjust automatically when powered on?

Not supported. The smart bulb should remain in a powered-on state to run all the set rules like the schedule and automation. 

 

One thing that can be set for this situation is the default state of the smart bulb when its power is restored: Last 'On' State, or Custom lighting (On state).
