Model: Tapo C200  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

Have two C200, one in my home other with my parents, both set under my account.

How to make it possible to activate home/away status for each separate?

     tried with second tapo home install on my samsung private folder, but after my same logon I see both cams there too

@clnx 

Good day,

Thanks a lot for your patience.

I am afraid currently, it is not allowed to set up separately home/away mode on the cameras under the same account.

Once it is enabled, the preset settings would take effect on all the cameras.

Really sorry for the inconvenience.

Thank you very much for your understanding and support.

My solution just tested based on S8 Samsung mobile specifics

- removed my house cam from the main tapo app, it reset to pairing mode

- went to samsung secure folder second tapo install, logoff from my initial account

- made me a second tapo account for the secure-folder-install, activated

- add the camera under the second install and new account

 

Now i have separated

-the initial tapo program with parents cam under my initial account

-the secure-folder-install tapo with my house cam under my second account, can activate modes/alarm without affecting the other in any way

     plus a second stage authentication there

 

Well, if third place will come have to find a virtual machine more..

@TP-Link 

To me, and I suppose others, it is an essential use case to have multiple homes in one account. Why is the home in a drop down menu if I cannot add another? Took me a lot of effort to figure out I could not. 

 

You should consider fixing this, the use case is there for all with vacation houses, pool houses, second houses etc, i.e people who buy a lot of cameras. 

 

Take care!
