Can you make it possible to have my Tapo app transition between Home & Away mode with my location.

It works with other devices I have that are made from different brands.

Why should I have to manually input my presence through the app, it's hard enough remember all the stuff I need to remember just to leave and return home without adding the extra stress of remembering the app settings.

 

It should be easy as tick a box that has Geo Location for Home & Away mode for my cameras or individually for any other part of the app and that's it, the app and location should work it out.
 

If anyone knows how to do it without having to setup a load of commands in smart mode I'd appreciate the help

Hi,
Thank you for your feedback. According to your description, it seems you want to add an Automation entry to turn on/off the Home/Away mode according to your Geolocation, and we suggest voting and leaving your usage scenario in the thread "Switch Camera Mode Between Home & Away in Automation" for evaluation.
Best Regards

Thanks for reply but that thread is over two years old and it doesn't have a resolution.

If after 2+ years and TP-LINK has not worked out how to have a Home & Away mode by geolocation then it don't look like it's ever going to happen. 
It's a shame really as all my other products from different manufacturers have this facility and I enjoy the Tapo Cameras but not being able to have different settings for Home & Away leave me frustrated and with low confidence that I'm properly secure and that all eventualities will be captured as most of the time I leave the cctv in home mode as but when I do go out I never remember leaving my house less secure
