Hi, I would like to trigger a smart plug, if the camera is detecting a motion.

 

As long as I have activated alarm messages for detections of my camera it is working well, but if I turn of the automated warning messages the smart action is not working anymore?

 

Is it possible to run the smart action (Motion => activating the plug) with disabled warning messages?

Thank you for the inquiry,

Some tapo camera models have support using motion sensing as a trigger
Trigger: tapo camera detects a motion, Action: turn on/off a tapo plug

Here is an article about Tapo camera smart action, please check if it is helpful

Using the detected motion as a trigger is not my problem. This works well with my cameras.

 

The point is, that it is just working if I enable warning messeges if the camera is detecting a motion. If I disable the warnings the trigger is not working anymore.
