Please let us enable Home and Away mode via  secure API.

 

 

Many use want to automatically trigger home/away mode when they leave or arrive home.

 

As discussed in other threads, there is a security risk with enabling this via Alexa command however if an API were made available then third party applications such as MacroDriod would be able to call the api to switch mode when our phones connected or disconnected to our home wifi. Here are the MacroDroid instructions FYI.

 

Alternatively you guys could embed the feature directly i.e. enable/disable home mode when the app detected connection to the same wifi as the camera/group. There is one issue to consider, that is what happens if more than one person connects to the same wifi. A fix for this could come in a later release perhaps.
