Increase Detection Accuracy with Enhanced Location Detection
Enabling the Enchance Location detection allows the Tapo app to detect your device’s location with higher accuracy and frequency. This option can be found under:
Accuracy: The accuracy of detection determines how precise your location is. If you have ever seen a dot on a map a little ways away from where you are, this means that the app is likely not using your detailed location. Increasing the accuracy will help in situations where your device is reporting an incorrect location.
Frequency: The frequency will change how often your device reports its location to the Tapo app. If you find that your automations do not fire on time or you are using the feature to detect areas that are close together, decreasing the time between updates may improve your experience.
You should also enable “Use Precise Location” from within your phone’s permissions for the Tapo App. This will help ensure that the location your phone reports to the Tapo app is accurate.
