Connect

How this automation works

Automatically power on your TP-Link Tapo smart device when one of your connected devices disconnects from your TP-Link Router. This runs whenever the selected device disconnects from your TP-Link network, ensuring your smart gadget activates right away. Ideal for managing home automation triggers like backup lights or monitoring systems tied to router connectivity.
