Hi,

 

I am able to enable and disable privacy mode via the Tapo app by creating these shortcuts inside the app. These shortcuts are also accessible via iOS Shortcuts, which is what I am using to set up specific autmations. The other shortcut available is to Play Sound.

 

Nevertheless. I want to be able to enable notifications on one or all cameras via a shortcut. The reason for this is, I don't want notifications when I'm at home. So I'd like to set up an Apple Home automation to activate notifications on the Tapo App for the cameras when I leave my home.

 

I do undertstand that this feature is availble on the Apple Home app - but I don't want to rely purely on the Apple Home app for this. I'd like the Tapo app's notifications to be available to me when I leave my home.

 

Please consider adding the option to enable notifications for cameras via shortcuts. Thanks.

Hi,
Welcome to TP-Link community and thank you very much for your feedback. At the moment, enabling or disabling camera notifications via Smart Actions or Shortcuts is not supported in the Tapo app. We understand how useful it would be to control notification behavior automatically—such as enabling notifications when leaving home and disabling them while at home.


We’ve recorded your request and will forward it to the relevant product team for consideration as a future enhancement. Your feedback is very valuable in helping us improve automation and notification flexibility.

 

Currently, I think the Home mode and Away mode on the Tapo app can help the usage scenario you described. With the Home mode and Away mode configured, you can switch the mode on the Tapo app to turn on/off notifications for specified cameras when you are at home or not.
How to edit Home and Away Mode for the Tapo camera?

 

Best Regards.
