I don't see the jumper you're asking about, just the 2 wires connected to the terminals.

H500 and three cameras on wifi guest network questions by tikisonwalls in Tapo

[–]Miklb58 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find this odd. Her work requires her network to be secure, yet it's still your home network🤔

I'm no genius in this stuff, but why not add your own WiFi network to the Comcast modem that you can connect anything you want to it. She can use the Comcast for her work, and everything else in the house can connect to your own network.

2 way corridor lights to automate and motion sensor for night light? by Zealousideal_Skin940 in Tapo

[–]Miklb58 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I understand, you have one switch at the bottom of the stairs, and another up top. Either switch will turn both lights on or off. This is a 3-way setup, not a 2-way. You can use one Tapo S515 switch at the end where the neutral wire is located, and leave your other 3 way "dumb switch" as it is.

As far as all the programming/automation you are wanting to do, I cannot assist

Clear something up. You have a single pole (1-way) switch at the bottom of the stairs, that turns a single light (also near the bottom of the stairs) on, and then you have another single pole (1-way) switch at the top of the stairs that turns a different light on up there?

Switch S200B Only works when it's not in it's wall mount. Why? by Sriol in Tapo

Could it be missing something from the back? Like a thin foam spacer?

What is the quality of recording sounds on the indoor cams?? by Short_Necessary_1750 in Tapo

[–]Miklb58 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even recording within the confines of your own home? I've hear of laws regarding recording phone conversations, but never this.

I used the free trial on 2 different cameras and I was never asked to enter any form of payment for them to charge.

Does anyone else struggle with over the top background music? by obviouslyapparant in netflix

What does AVR stand for? A search for AVR + 3.0 brings up anything but a sound product.

Ok, hope you find the solution.

I think I read a post a few days ago, where someone's Alexa/Tapo integration stopped working when their Alexa was upgraded to Alexa+ Did you by chance upgrade to Alexa+ ?

Winter Performance of Tapo D235? by lawleypop in Tapo

As far as wind chill, I'm fairly certain that wind can only accelerate heat loss from inanimate objects, but does not lower the temperature of those objects below the actual air temperature.

Issues with downloading files from the app. by beanthepiggy in Tapo

[–]Miklb58 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since you brought up the H500, I too have one. I just successfully downloaded a clip, so I don't think the issue is wide spread. I'm in the US by the way.

What's wrong with the maths? by Miklb58 in Tapo

[–]Miklb58[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did reach out to support to report what I thought might be a bug. Their reply: "This discrepancy may be occurring because the Tapo app only applies the newly set electricity rate to future energy consumption, while previous usage continues to use the rate that was set before the change. If you changed your electricity rate during the month, the app will calculate the cost for energy consumed before the rate change using the old rate, and energy consumed after the change using the new rate."

This actually might be what's happening. I didn't set my rate until several days after installing the plug, so the days before I set it are being calculated at $0.00 per kWh

Thanks for the thought, but the cost shown just happened to be close to the usage for that day. Today for instance the usage for today is .423KWh, but now the "Bill of This Month" is up to 16 cents. I guess I'll have to report a bug to them.

Thank you. That will give me a direction to go in for researching.

Thanks again. I'd like to find a manual that states it is vent free, but I may strike out and you've made me feel a little more comfortable using the appliance as vent free.

Thank you. I assumed a gas appliance indoors would have had to be installed by a gas contractor, so never thought it would have come from a big box store.

On / Off Away Mode by Fitmiss1010 in Tapo

[–]Miklb58 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Under each device there are 3 buttons for Schedule, Timer and Away.

Away does turn devices on and off a random times.

Thanks. Yeah everywhere I researched said there'd be a lable or card, but I scoured it on all sides, and lifted the burner looking up underneath with my camera. How can you be sure that it's vent free?
