What are Tapo Smart Actions?
For Tapo devices, there are two kinds of Smart Actions—Shortcuts and
Automation.
Shortcuts
Shortcut lets you perform an action with a simple tap. For example, when you
are ready for bed, you can turn off your Tapo devices and dim the lights with
one action.
Automation
Automation allows you to use Tapo smart devices or Time as a trigger to
control other Tapo devices or run a shortcut/automation task. For example, you
might want to turn the lights on a few minutes before you get home from work
every weekday.
You can set up a trigger (When something happens) and an action (Then execute
the action) in an automation.
