I would like to be able to turn off the Sensor notifications when I am at home with a scenario.

And turn them back on when I leave my home.

Is this possible or will it be part of a future upgrade ?

I'd also really like to see notifications being able to be set-up in a schedule in exactly the same way as recording for cameras. Basically automate the whole usual home/away scenario for most occasions.

Absolutely. At the moment, I manually turn on the sensor notifications when I leave my house and turn them off when I get home..

Also, it would be great to have the ability to turn off the sensor detection to limit battery drain.
I hope the developers read our comments.

Actually it would be awesome if the recording, notifications and sensors could all be scheduled using the same table format as the current camera recording. It would be really helpful to turn things on/off at certain times. Your sensor idea is one that I've also run into as well. Currently stuck with one setting to manage all times isn't ideal.

In fact, I use the motion sensor to trigger the Hub's siren while I am away. The camera handles motion/person detection and recording independently.
I have created  scenarios and shortcuts with a Tapo switch to start the camera and sensor detection.

Yeah I have quite a few automations set up too. I guess my idea stems from a singular easy approach from a UI/UX perspective.
