Switching between away/home mode
I own the following hardware and would like to implement the following actions using them.
Could you please guide me on how to set them up?
Hardware Information
- Smart Button: S200B
- Door/Window Sensor: T110
- Smart Hub: H100
What I Want to Achieve
I would like to switch from "Home Mode" to "Away Mode" by clicking the button, and have the door/window sensor start monitoring. It would be ideal if a sound is emitted from the smart hub to indicate the mode switch.
While in Away Mode, I want to receive a notification on my phone if there is movement detected by the sensor.
Additionally, when I return home and click the button again, I want to switch back to Home Mode, and prevent any notifications from being sent, even if there is movement detected by the sensor.
Could you please confirm whether this is possible to achieve?

Hi @maxim3104
This will be quite straight forward by using the Tapo automation in the app. Please follow the below steps as a guide:
Create Automation for “Away Mode”:
- In the Tapo app under the Smart actions page, select the + in the top right to add an automation to start notifications (“Away Mode”)
- In the automation under the “When” option add the following trigger
- Select Device change status, select the S200B button, select single Tap
- Under the “Then” option add the following actions
- Select “Control One Device”, Select the H100, select “Ring”, select the sound you would like to make when activating “away mode”, maybe “Connection 1”, select the “Duration” and set to 5 seconds (or longer if you wish) – select “Done” (top right)
- Select Delay and set a delay time before notifications start to allow you to exit the house – this is optional – you can skip this if you want the notification to start straight away – Select “Done” – top right
- Select “Control One Device”, Select your T110, select “Turn on Notifications” and then select “Done”
- In the automation under the “When” option add the following trigger
Create Automation for “Home Mode”:
- In the Tapo app under the Smart actions page, select the + in the top right to add an automation to stop notifications (“Home Mode”)
- In the automation under the “When” option add the following trigger
- Select Device change status, select the S200B button, select double Tap (You can use single tap, but I find it’s better to have “single tap” for on and “double tap” for off – up to you what you like)
- Under the “Then” option add the following actions
- Select “Control One Device”, Select the H100, select “Ring”, select the sound you would like to make when activating “home mode”, maybe “Connection 2”, select the “Duration” and set to 5 seconds (or longer if you wish) – select “Done” (top right)
- Select “Control One Device”, Select your T110, select “Turn off Notifications” and then select “Done”
Ensure these automations are enabled in your automation list.
Good luck and let me know if you have any questions.

The detection alarm scene (make the hub ring when sensor detects movement) is achieved by automation. Notification is an available Action option in the automation.
Then you can create another automation to enable/disable this alarm automation by button presses -- the so-called Home/Away mode you would like to set, name it whatever you want.
