Model: TC82 KIT  
Hardware Version: V2
Firmware Version:

I can connet TAPO with ALEXA, and camera movement can be used a strigger, but NO person detection.

 

TAPO connection with ALEXA slolud be updated for detecting person avaible for ALEXA. This is one of the best TC82 features, but can not be used with ALEXA

As we understand, Alexa released the person detection feature in the United States only. Therefore, if your Alexa account is not a US account, features related to person detection on the camera, such as person detection announcements or the routine trigger, will not be available in your Alexa app.

  @tiomiguel I want person detect acat as a trigger for ewelink enabliing virtual interruptor for activating more complex scenes.

 

Alexa does not work

 

Home assistant does not work. sSystem does not seems to understand well the difference between movement, person detected, alarm when mov triggered, alarm when person detected.

ONLY IFTT does the job, but free edition only allow two applets, so, only two cams can use person detect as a trigger.

 

Very sad.

We have not received any updates on this matter. For your case, I recommend contacting the support team for further assistance. They can verify whether this Alexa feature is available in Spain.
