Hi, I'm trying to create a DIY house alarm system. I need a delay at the entry / exit point so I have time to deactivate my alarm automation or time to leave my house. I can't find a delay in the automation and so I'm looking for ideas, maybe with some extra kit to Tapo. Any ideas?
Unfortunately, this is not supported so far. The automation action cannot be canceled once it is triggered.
You can consider creating another automation or use a shortcut to enable/disable the alarm automation before leaving or arriving home. Put a shortcut widget on mobile phone's home screen for easy control, or use another Tapo device to trigger this "enable/disable alarm" automation. A Tapo smart button (Tapo S200B/Tapo S200D) would be a good choice!
@Wayne-TP I've been trying to develop my home alarm system with Tapo for over a year now. Your suggestion doesn't work as I'd need to share my account with others, like my cleaner. I've been asking for sharing of automatons for a year and have lots of support and other threads asking for that. However, a timed delay within the automation logic function would suffice using a fix tablet in my entry/exit zone. I'll request this feature. Thanks Richard
