I used to be able to control camera through actions in the Kasa app and then run the actions from apple iOS shortcuts eg.

Goodnight

Downstairs Lights Off

Bedroom Lights On

Outside Camera On

 

With the latest app update 3.03, it does not appear to be able to add cameras to actions, just TP-Link plug devices

  Hello @PhilMUK 

In IOS Shortcut app, you should  still be able to add kasa cameras and turn it ON/OFF , please see photo attached

  • I would recommend making sure the camera is still online and accessible in the Kasa APP first. 
  • Confirm the IOS Shortcut app and Kasa APP are both up to date

 

 

If still the same, can I have a photo of the IOS Shortcut settings, the Kasa APP version, the model of your mobile device and its OS?

Please also share a the MAC address of the camera via PM, thanks

  @Solla-topee Yes it worked from iOS shortcuts, but you cannot control them from scenes in the Kasa app

Hello   @PhilMUK 

Thank you for getting back to us. You could delete the old scene and create a new scene in the Kasa app, then double check if the Shortcut _ scene works in the Shortcut app. 

As the Kasa app 3.0 improved and has more powerful Smart action feature, as far as I know in Shortcut app some old scenes may give a warning saying that it is no longer supported but should still take effect as usual.
