What is the Auto White Feature of Tapo Smart Bulbs?

The Tapo smart multicolor bulb supports the Auto White feature that can intelligently adjust the color temperature of the bulb according to the local time.

Note: This feature is only available for Multi-Color Tapo Bulbs

There are two modes available: Auto Match and Auto Compensate.

1. Auto Match – Simulated Sunset and Sunrise

Simulates the natural changes in light throughout the day. The bulb will stay on all day, and the light will softly switch between Warm white to Daylight white, while automatically adjusting the brightness.

Scenarios: Ideal for gentle morning wake-up and indoor use.

2. Auto Compensate / Optimize

Automatically turns on the light at night and turns it off in the morning to compensate for insufficient natural light. This feature works to save power throughout the day, while also ensuring that you have proper lighting each morning and evening.

Scenarios: Ideal for corridors and outdoor use.
