Model: Tapo H100  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.5.23 Build 241106 Rel.093525

Same as this post https://community.tp-link.com/en/smart-home/forum/topic/616564

 

I'd like to request the ability for the Ring function under Smart Hub in Smart Actions to be configurable by play count (vs how it's set currently by Sound Duration).

 

This would be useful for setting up a sound to trigger any time a door opens and you want a chime (some security systems like ADT have this functionality currently)

 

In it's current form, the lowest value you can select is 1 second which will loop sounds instead of playng them just once. Which is really annoying, some sounds are .75 of a second or 1.3 seconds, so almos every single sound, is cut-off, and most of the provided sounds were not generated with looping in mind

Hello Wayne. Although you say that users who want to comment on this topic vote on the other post and leave their comment there, the other post is locked and does not allow comments.

I have already voted but I need to leave the comment here.

 

I think that more than a request for functionality, it is about correcting an obvious error, since there is no possibility of giving it a doorbell behavior with a single ringing sound. With one second these sounds plays about 2.5 times. It's erratic, it's a problem to solve, and I think it's imperative to prioritize it. I don't know if developers will use the very devices they're programming, I invite them to create a simple automation by playing "Connection 2" when a door opens or when pressing an S200B.

 

Thanks and best regards
