Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.2.2

Please configure the Tapo application to allow for customizable notification sounds, at minimum for the Tapo application itself, but ideally for each individual Tapo device.

Forcing the Tapo application to use only the default system notification sound does not give the user any ability to audibly distinguish important Tapo notifications from routine notifications such as emails, texts, or similar events which use the same default system notification sound. Not all device OS allow for app-specific notification sounds.

 

This makes for a frustrating experience using Tapo app, and I am inclined to use a third-party RTSP service for management of Tapo devices, rather than the paid Tapo app, for the sole reason of being able to customize notifications.

Just installed a D230S1 and either I'm missing something or it is a huge backward step from the Ring app notifications

Hi,
1. The Tapo app is free, and you can download it from Google Play or App Store.

 

2. If you have an Android phone, you can usually set a different notification sound for the Tapo app on your phone settings(click here for reference).

 

3. For the doorbell camera, if you want to receive a ring call when someone presses the doorbell, please go to the doorbell's Device Settings > Doorbell > Doorbell Video Call page, select the Ring Call option, and tap Grant Permission to ensure the related permissions are enabled on your phone.

 

Best Regards

  @Solla-topee Some (not most) Android versions allow custom notifications per app. Most Android versions do NOT allow for custom notifications per app.

 

Ring is also a free app available on Google Play Store and App Store, but it allows custom notification sounds that are very useful to people who actually use the product.

Tapo app should add option to customize notification sounds, to be truly competitive. It is a glaringly absent feature that its competitors easily accomplish.
