Hi all, I've 3 Tapo cameras around the property and set up the home/away modes correctly for them. 2 questions:

 

1. Are the modes working together with mu geofencing? So will it be on away mode when i'm not at home?

2. If geofencing is not connected to the modes yet, is there a way to put it in a shortcut? So I can switch modes easily by an shortcut? 

 

Thanks in advance!

Hi,
The Home/Away mode of the camera can't work with the Geofencing feature to achieve the usage scenario you described since the Home/Away mode is not included in the Smart Action>Action feature.
And you can switch the Home/Away mode easily on the Tapo app>Cameras page.
Best Regards

  @Solla-topee It would be better if you guys could change this mode to be compatible with Alexa and Google Home. Every time I leave home or come back, I have to log into the Tapo app and change the mode. It's super frustrating. If it could be done by Alexa or Google Home, I can automate it. It's better if you can give this feature as soon as possible.
