On the TAPO website I'm reding this: "The TP-Link Tapo H500 is marketed as being compatible with Matter, but it is not "fully" compatible in the sense of supporting all possible Matter features. It functions as a Matter Controller and a Matter Bridge, allowing you to integrate Tapo devices into other ecosystems (like Apple Home or Google Home) and vice versa."

Is TP-Link planning to make it fully Matter-compabile in the future?

If the T100 motion sensor only reacts to infrared signature, I wonder why (mine at least) detects moving clothes hanging out to dry at a distance of approximately 5 meters, with the sensor set to "Low".

For each camera, under Settings and then Alarm, there is an "Alarm schedule" setting which allows to set a custom schedule. But, smart actions too allow to set within what time a specific action should occur for cameras. Which one of the two customizations does take precedence?

Situation: I have a T110 sensor and a H200 hub, they are both on the same wifi network and their firmware is up to date. To make to H200 sound an alarm when the main entrance door is opened, I did the following:

Automation > New > Effective time (I set a customized time) > When (I set "When the door is opened") > Then I set some lights to switch on and the H200 sound an alarm

But, when I finally created the automation no popup appeared to confirm that the automation has been taken by the H200, i.e. not the cloud, and no local icon appeared besides the created automation.

Did I miss something during the automation setting?

I have found that complex automations behave erraticly, or even wrongly, therefore I set up a number of individual automations per main target. They seem to work properly, but I wonder how many of such individual automations can run at the same time without compromise on efficiency? Any direct esperience, please?

While in Settings I was arranging applets between panel and dock, the Input method applet disappeared. Settings show that it is selected for the dock's right side, but it's not visible. Restarting the OS and launching Fcitx5 manually didn't help. Is there a way to force it to appear somehow?

I'm planning to buy some T100 smart motion sensors to place around the house, and besides making them work together with a few cameras, I would like they make a few indoor bulbs flash fast as soon as one of the sensors detect a movement outside. The catch is, these bulbs can only be E17 size, but TAPO smart bulbs are not available in Japan with this size. I would use sensors and bulbs in conjunction with a H200 hub, hence my question: can anybody suggest a different type of bulb brand than can work together with the T100 sensors and the H200? The most important feature is that these bulbs should flash fast in order to create a sense of alarm to anybody approaching the house from the ouside.

While the T110 door sensor installation guide says to install the magnet (the smaller of the two parts) on the edge of the door that moves, my door doesn't allow to do so. Actually, the only possible set up in my house is to install the magnet part on the door frame instead. Is this possible at all?
