Hello everybody,

Maybe someone could help me out.

I'm trying to simplify the interaction with my C200. 

There is a way to create a shortcut on the android home, to switch between the away mode and house mode settings, without entering the app? 

Any third party app or suggestion to reach this goal? 

Thank you

Hi,
Currently, it's unable to create a widget on your Android phone screen to switch between the camera's Away mode and Home mode settings. 

 

However, as mentioned by J-C.G., you can go to the Tapo app>Smart page to add a shortcut as per your requirements(for example, turn on/off privacy mode, rotate to a viewpoint, turn on/off motion tracking), then add a widget on your phone's screen to control the shortcut. Below are the instructions.

Hello, (sorry for bad english, it's not my native language)

 

Effectively there is not a "ready to use" widget for this action...

 

You have to create a new Intelligent Action Shortcut to put on your phone as widget...

 

Go to "Intelligent" section

Click on the Logo who say "Leave Home" ( don't know the exact menu name  in english, i have it in French on my app)

Modify the exemple, Selecting the Cameras you want to desactivate the confidentiality mode

Select or Add all other actions you want, Add all controls you want for this intelligent action.

 

Make another Intelligent Action (for come back home)

 

You will have two Intelligent actions you can put as Widget on your phone screen.

 

I tried it, it works, but perhaps you can't add all actions you need...
