New Release Monthly Featured Firmware Updates: New Features and Optimizations for Tapo and Kasa Devices
Hey Everyone!
While we have been primarily focusing on the latest additions to the Tapo App, such as Dark Mode, Smart Actions 2.0, or the Kasa Integration, your devices have been receiving a steady stream of updates with optimizations and new features for your devices.
We have done our best to provide a summary of the updates we have seen, but bear in mind:
- Not All Hardware Versions of a Model will Receive the Same Updates
- We ONLY Included New Features, NOT bug fixes and optimizations.
- New Hardware Versions May Ship with the Features/Firmware and Do Not Require an Update
- We Likely Missed a Few Models, Make Sure to Check your Hardware Version's Download Page for the Most Accurate and Most Recent Updates.
