Start C520ws privacy mode with a TP Smartbutton (and Hub)

Model: Tapo C520WS

Hardware Version:

Firmware Version:

Hello, is it possible to switch the privacy mode of the Tapo C520ws on or off via a smart button, for example? Would this be possible in conjunction with the Tapo Smart Hub?

If this is not possible, could this mode possibly be switched on and off via an Alexa device without having to access the app directly?

I know that it is possible to switch privacy mode on and off via the Tapo app. But is it also possible to do this via the physical TP-Link smart button?

Thank you for the information.

Hi,
If you are referring to the usage scenario that turns on/off the camera's privacy mode via the TP-Link smart button(such as Tapo S200B), it can be achieved via the Smart Action > Automation feature on the Tapo app.

Below are the instructions to set up the Automation feature.
