Lack of smart action to Control Patrol mode on

Tags: #Feature Request #Tapo App Related #Smart Actions #Patrol Mode

Model: Tapo C200

Hardware Version:

Firmware Version:

I was wondering If there is any way to set a scene/routine to return patrol mode back on every time there's a pan/tilt moviment?

My wife frequently changes camera's position and forgets to reenable the patrol mode.

Any help is highly appreciated. Already tried this through IFTTT and, although there's an Applet where I can use If câmera tampered then await x Seconds and then Activate Patrol mode, I could not create It because there is no Patrol mode skill for c200.

Thank you

Hi,
Since the Tapo C200 does not support Patrol mode on the camera's Device Settings > Pan & Tilt page, it's unable to set a shortcut or automation entry to turn on/off the Tapo C200's patrol mode. For the Tapo cameras, such as the Tapo C500 and C510W, that support Patrol mode, the "Turn on/off patrol mode" action is available when adding a shortcut or automation entry. However, please note that the pan/tilt movement is not included in the trigger of the smart action entry.

It's suggested to start a new thread here if you want to add the pan/tilt movement as a smart action trigger.

Best Regards
