Hey @xi1B4f6FHYrm,
I will make sure to forward the feedback to our teams for consideration. I would imagine that the teams are currently focusing on compatibility and stability updates so that more models can be used from within the Tapo app, but it may very well be considered for later.
Absolutely thrilled to explore the latest Tapo 3.0 app! The advancements promise an even better user experience. Kudos to the talented android development company behind this innovation
I know that there was mention of this amongst our teams about this but we are still a ways off from this point to be honest. There are still quite a few devices that need to be brought over and there are still features missing from the Tapo app, such as being able to view cloud recordings for Kasa cameras. I would expect that we would see all the Kasa features brought over to the Tapo app before we see new features added, such as Device Sharing.
I will reach out to our teams to see if they can provide an update on this feature.
I would like to be able to have all my external T85 mag cams start recording if one of them triggers... such that I have all external camereas (outside zone) recording when some thing triggers any one of them. This way I have blanket coverage all around the building.
Is there a way to do this... Can we get this as a feature in automation?
Currently the user can use automation to enable lights, etc... but what about automated recording start on all cameras in a user defined zone or group?
Seems like the application is so close to being able to do this?
Like the multi-view feature I saw listed above except in an automation format with "any" camera trigger sense.
So like the alert from one camera could be the software trigger to start recording on the others in a specified camera group/cluster.
Matter capability for 3-way smart switches with dimmers. I use Home Kit and need Matter-enabled switches to use Siri with ALL my devices.
Way cool. Thanks for the update.
Keep an eye out for an announcement from our team in the coming weeks on the topic. The request was seen by our development team and they have been working on releasing such a device: https://www.tp-link.com/us/home-networking/smart-switch/tapo-s515/
