Feature Request – Expand Automation Triggers in Tapo App
Dear Team,
I’m a user of the Tapo C210 camera and I love the Automation feature in the Tapo app. However, I believe adding more trigger options would significantly enhance its functionality. Currently, the only available trigger is "Event Detect" which limits automation potential.
Suggested New Triggers:
1. "When Night Mode is On/Off" – Automate actions based on day/night vision switching. (Implement function to turn on or off night mode manually too)
2. "When Another Automation is Activated" – Chain automations for advanced routines. (e.g., When Automation 2 is on or off)
3. "Time-Based Triggers" – Schedule actions at specific times (e.g., enable recording at night).
4. "When Sound is Detected" – Trigger actions based on audio.
5. "Camera Online/Offline Status" – Notify if the camera disconnects unexpectedly.
Implement these trigger in camera Action too.
These additions would make Tapo more competitive with other smart ecosystems (like Google Home or Alexa Routines) while offering users greater flexibility. Many in the Tapo community (including myself) would love to see this implemented!
Thank you for considering this feedback.
