Model: Tapo C410 KIT  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

Hello,

When I want to change the Away or Home mode, I have to run the Tapo app, then go to Cameras, then switch the mode, it's bit time consuming. A simple button on the home screen would be really better.

So basicly, I would like to make it possible from a widget that I can put in my Android home screen.

There is not widget or shortcut that make that possible. Only shortcut available is the Privacy mode.

I searched online and lot of people would like this feature aswell.

 

Thanks by advance !

You can include all cameras in the network with one click.

I have only one camera, but that's not my question. I would like a Android widget that let me toggle Home or Away mode with one click. In the shortcuts availables for my C410, there is only "Privacy" mode. If I want to switch Home or Away mode, I have to run Tapo app, then toggle the Home or Away mode, I want to do it with one click from my Android home screen.

I actually have a widget shortcut for Leave Home like a shortcut, but when I add the widget there is no Leav Home option to select, only smart triggers I've created

Leave Mode is different than Home/Away mode (Cameras tab of the app). On Home or Away mode you can set 2 whole settings of the camera (like alarm type, sound and time schedule, also notifications and others settings, it's a nice feature).

Leave Mode only choice for my camera is to turn on or off Privacy Mode, I don't want that. I want my alarm running even if I am home but with different settings.
My settings are different, when Home, for example my alarm sound is on depending on hour, like from 22:30 to 07:30 (basicly when I am sleeping) and is still recording.
And for Away, my alarm sound is set on all the time.

Yes, I can also create a Tapo widget, and inside this widget, I can add shortcuts but when I go in the menu to create a shortcut/action for the C410 the only choices I have are :
- Toggle the Privacy mode on or off which basicly completely turn off recording and stuff
- Play a sound

There isn't any other choice.

What model do you have ?

Okay thanks and for your C410, in the actions/shortcut do you also only have three choices like me ?
- Turn on privacy mode
- Turn off privacy mode
- Play a sound

I hope developpers/support read this forum, it  shouldn't be a hard implementation to add Home/Action actions in the shortcuts, it's already in the app.
