Tapo C210: Home/Away Mode Shortcut/Automation Support
Let us please toggle Home and Away modes using Shortcuts and thereby Alexa, it isn't very pleasant to always head into the app and navigate into camera settings just to change modes.

Linking camera notification modes (away/home) has several great benefits.
When at home I don't want camera notifications and several automations to run. With modes and automations linking I can
- change mode via geo fencing automation
- use mode changes as trigger for automations, so that wouldn't need to toggle multiple switches when leaving/entering home.
Current problems:
- automations can't turn on/off camera notifications
- notification modes toggling can't be automated
- automations are not aware of notifications mode.
A possible alternative has a major drawback. One could migrate away from native camera notifications (controlled by home/away modes) and create automation for each camera to send a notification about detected event. Thanks to per camera automation, notification can contain manually added info about which camera it came from, but still would be missing link to see captured event. Here it would be super helpful if automation notifications could contain link to the event that triggered it.
