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.

I have been asking for these changes for at least two years which prevent me from using Tapo as an anti-theft system. Today I had another disappointment: sockets and relays with consumption monitoring do not allow you to receive a notification via the app when a certain consumption level is exceeded. Something that other manufacturers instead allow. I really think I'll abandon Tapo and go elsewhere.

For me, the problem remains the same: activating cameras AND door sensors SIMULTANEOUSLY by clicking the AwayHome button and deactivating the alarms with the At Home button.
I don't really think it's a technical issue preventing this function. Tapo probably doesn't care.
I'm also looking into how to solve this problem. Home Assistant would solve it, but that would require buying a Raspberry Pi and learning how to use Home Assistant. All this because Tapo doesn't allow for a simple change to the app.

As I posted, I found an acceptable working solution using Smartthings
But, FYI, Arlo updated their app very recently and it's geofencing is now working for my single ArloQ camera. It's only taken them 7 years since I first reported it
