Tapo App notification sounds - more options.
Hi,
I'm starting to use a number of Tapo devices. As far as I can see the notification sounds (Android App) are all the same apart from the Door Bell.
It would be useful to set a different sound for a camera and T100 movement sensor etc. Could the option be added to configure different sounds for all products?
Thanks.
I've attached an image of the Android settings I see, if I'm missing something and this is already possible please let me know 
***The forum won't let me upload an image atm?! Says "successfully uploaded" when I drag it in, but I can't see it.
Using the 'image' option in the toolbar fails with "missing URL" type eror. #buggy!

@SDGTR Hi, on Android you can change the notificaton sound on a per app basis.
So you can have your txt messages and Tapo notifications use different sounds - the problem is all the Tapo notification sounds will be the same!
If you are having trouble changing the app sound from the default - Google 'change android notification sounds per app' for more info.
Thanks, I did do that but for some reason it sometimes reverts to the default Android notification sound and ignores the setting under Apps>Tapo>Notifications. In those settings I've had to reset it a couple of times and change the sound back and forth, then reboot the cameras and close and reopen the Tapo app. Finally got it working
For now it's stable but yesterday I spent a bunch of time getting it to work right.
Also, the notification categories for the Tapo app under the phone's settings only shows Verification, Miscellaneous, and doorbell. It doesn't have a category for cameras. It looks like those are tossed under Miscellaneous.
So for now it looks like I do have a different sound for Tapo cam notifications but I still have no idea which camera it's for. I wish they added some way to customize a specific sound for each camera like Ring does. And I'm still not sure why it sometimes ignores the current setting for the Tapo app's Miscellaneous category.

Would love to see custom notification sounds like I had on my old Arlo cameras. Hard to distinguish between camera notifications and text messages from my contacts.

Hi @GR2024 you can set a different sound notification for TAPO alerts than your other phone notifications, but you can't set one for cameras and another for a motion sensor etc. so when I get my TAPO notification I have to read it to see the details.
NB. You can set the TAPO hub to play different sounds for different devices which works well and is useful - that's what I want for my phone

Hi @Kingsmead59
FYI - you can change the notification sound so your TAPO ones are different to email etc. on Android.
Go into Android settings > apps > TAPO > notifications and you can set a different sound.
But I would like to be able to be able to set different sounds for my different TAPO devices
