Is your Tapo T100 Smart Motion Sensor (or any smart sensor) failing to trigger your lights or smart plugs? 💡 In this video, I show you the 2 most common reasons why your smart home automations are failing and how to fix them instantly! Often, it's not a broken sensor—it's a simple setting hidden in the Tapo App. Whether your sensor is "triggered" but the light won't turn on, or there's a massive delay between movements, I've got the solution. In this video, you’ll learn how to: ✅ Fix Smart Action Schedule errors (AM/PM confusion). ✅ Adjust the Detection Interval to eliminate sensor lag. ✅ Verify your Smart Actions between sensors and smart plugs/switches. ✅ Set your sensor to "Always" effective time for 24/7 reliability. Standard Detection Interval: By default, many sensors are set to 60 seconds. If you want your lights to react faster, I'll show you how to drop that down to 4 seconds for instant response!.
