I wanted to know if it is possible to play random/triggered sounds/noises via any of the TAPO appliances. In details:

I am using a Tapo environment with sensors, an hub and a camera to monitor and manage my dogs whelping nursery, and it is working great. Now, a thing I would like to add is environmental enrichment, that in early stage of a litter is done also by playing "distress noises" (motors, an ambulance, a sharp blast, a child crying etc) so that the puppies get used to these noises and will not become frightened when they will ear them in real world. The Tapo family does not have native speakers like the amazon echo or google dot, that I can route the audio of an app in. But since i'm very happy of my Tapos I'd like to know if there is a way to achieve a similar result within the Tapo environment, wg by using the camera speaker of the hub bell. Can this be done?

Thanks in advance for any suggestion

Hi, 
You can go to the Tapo app > Smart Tab page to add shortcut entries for a try. 
How to create Smart Action (Automation or Shortcut) on Tapo app

For example:
  1. In a new shortcut entry, tap Add Action > Control One Device > Select your hub > Ring, then set the Sound and Duration. After the new shortcut entry is successfully added, tap it on the Shortcut page, and the hub will ring the sound you configured.
  2. In a new shortcut entry, tap Add Action > Control One Device > Select your camera, and then check if there is a Play Sound action. If so, select Play Sound, then set the Sound and Duration. After the new shortcut entry is successfully added, tap it on the Shortcut page, and the camera will play the sound you configured.

 

Best Regards
