Using the C420 as an effective alarm siren
Hi,
I was hoping to use the tapo devices to make an alarm system, with 2x C420 cameras providing not only video but also to be used as the external siren for the alarm.
ideally I'd want to arm the alarm when I leave the house, which I've found where to do this via geofencing, but when I set an automation to ring the alarm when a door is opened (which would be activated by me leaving) it doesn't give the option to use C420, even with its alarm function turned on.
Am I missing something here or is this type of action not supported?
if it's not then these devices will need to go back for a refund. Reason I chose the C420 was its hub support so all my recordings would be on the same large sd card.
any info greatly ap

Are you using the owner account of the C420? Make sure device firmware on C420 and the H200 are both updated.
Tapo C420 is an available Action device in automation, but it does not support Play Sound.

Tapo C420 does not support play sound manually either. Are you thinking the Alarm On/Off on the camera page for this function? The Alarm On/Off option is used to control the camera detection alarm.
