Available Smart Action Triggers for the S200D
For Everyone's Information, the Available Triggers for the S200D can be seen in the screenshot below. Each of these triggers may be set to control your Tapo Devices or can be assigned to trigger a separate scene or Smart Action.
Tip: For the Rotate Clockwise and Counter Clockwise Actions, we recommend using a light so that you may take advantage of the 'Dim Brightness by' Action
Our Team cannot wait to see how everyone uses the new buttons and smart actions to control your Smart Home!
Configuring Your Smart Button to Change the Brightness of Your Lights:
Control Two Lights Separately with Smart Actions
By Enabling and Disabling Smart Actions, it is possible to “assign” a device to be controlled by the Dimmer Button depending on if the button was last pressed once or twice. The base outline of the Smart Actions is provided below. However, additional commands to turn on lights or set effects may also be added to the Smart Actions.

- Rotate Clockwise and Counter Clockwise: Change Brightness of Light 'A' +/- 5% (2 Separate Smart Actions)

This type of control would be dependent on what smart actions are available for your dimmer. If your dimmer offers a Brightness Down or Brightness Up Smart Action, you can configure each turn of the button to affect the light's brightness.Synced lighting is very much on our dev team's radar so make sure to keep an eye out for any major announcements over the coming months.

Thanks! For the Kasa HS220, I added triggers so that rotating clockwise will set 75/100 levels, and rotating counterclockwise will set 50/25 levels. It works well enough! While I was waiting, I bought a 2-pack of the S505D. If I upgrade this switch to the Tapo S505D, will I have true control of the dimmer brightness levels with button rotation?
