Automatically enable home or away mode

2023-12-01 18:22:15 - last edited 2023-12-04 09:30:10

Hi,

I want to enable Home Mode automatically when I arrive home, and Away Mode when I leave.

I use an app called MacroDroid to work out when I arrive or leave based on my phone connecting to my home WiFi. When this happens it can make an http:// call and I want to use this to activate Away or Home Mode (full details here https://www.reddit.com/r/macrodroid/comments/15y5j07/help_with_tapo_webcam/)

The question is is it possible to activate home/away mode via an API call??

If not, is there another way I can activate the modes programmatically? If not, how can I make a feature request?

Many thanks.

Hi,
We do not have instructions to make our product work with unauthorized third-party service. Thank you for your feedback here, we certainly appreciate your feedback and feature request.
While we don't have any specific details that I can share about if this feature can come to the product or when it might, I'll log the feature request and pass it along to the team to evaluate.
I moved this conversation into the ‘Feature Request (Tapo)' area for better visibility, and if other users have the same request, please vote on this thread or leave your comments.

Best Regards.
