Tags: #leave home
Model: Tapo H100  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.2.3. Build 221012 Rel. 103821

The start hub does NOT understand the idea of "Become Silent" when the Arrive Home action is selected. The connected T100 sends it to alarm for motion. NOT what is wanted.
When the Leave Home action is selected the hub plays a merry tune.... Perhaps that is correct but there is nothing I can find that indicates it is.
This product needs a comprehensive "how-to" manual in PLAIN ENGLISH!

The only way to use the T100 devices as intruder detection while away (and NOT detect while at home) appears to be to unplug it while home..... NOT ideal!

  @MCaS 

 

The Arrive Home and Leave Home are the preset shortcuts, it is a one-time operation that helps you control Tapo smart device with one tap. For example, if you want to turn all the lights on and the camera privacy mode when you arrive home, configure the device settings in the Arrive Home shortcut, then you can control those devices easily without configuring them one by one.
 

The Action Become Silent and Ring of the H100 are also one-time operations. User can create a shortcut to trigger the H100 to Become Silent when something triggers the hub to ring, with this shortcut, you can stop the ringing immediately. 

 

The state of the Tapo device will change according to the settings set by the user or by the manual control. In your case, the Become Silent and Ring action will only change the current state of the hub when you operate it. The ring will be triggered again if the detection of the T100.

 

In your case, you can create a shortcut to enable/disable the automation (trigger ringing when the sensor is open). 

Tapo APP-->Smart -->Add a new Shortcut -->Add Action -->Enable/Disable Automation.

  @MCaS, I have the same complaint as you.

 

I think it would be easily resolved if the app allowed to activate and deactivate the motion sensors (T100) and opening sensors (T110). This way, routines could be created that would activate or deactivate them automatically. It is very disappointing that it does not contemplate this possibility. @TP-Link, please consider adding this feature to the application
