Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 2.3.6

I have 5 cameras setup to monitor a house, some of which fire off various notifications during the day at times that I expect activity to happen.  A sequence of motions from camera to camera, or specific cameras is when I know I need to check the app.  Just any motion detection isn't enough to warrant checking the activity.

 

The notifications to my smart watch previously started with the name of the device, so I could quickly and conveniently decide whether it was worth checking my phone to see what the activity was.

 

In the latest app update, the notification starts with 'Motion Detected', and this is all that I receive on my smart watch.  I don't know which camera is reporting.

 

This is extremely frustrating.  Especially at night when a spider decides to make a web on a driveway camera, which I would normally know I could ignore.

 

I'd like to at least have an option to choose the format of the notifications, if there's a reason for changing it to what it is now, which is not very helpful with a many-camera setup.

 Hello @buzz_nz 

Thanks a lot for sharing your experience and feedback with Kasa APP 3.0 APP 3.0

It sounds very useful to show the device name in the Notification to help identify from which device the notification comes. 

We'd add this in the feature list and for our team's evaluation. 

Please keep your Kasa APP when there is an update, thanks again for your feedback.

  @Solla-topee Thanks, I look forward to its inclusion.  Just to be clear, the previous version has this functionality, and it disappeared in the latest update.  All I'm asking for is to get the feature back so I can use the app the way I'd become accustomed to for the past couple of years.
