Routine

[JF72]

Hi.

Could somebody help me with this issue, please...I would like to create a routine that when I arrive at home, my cameras (4) Tapo 420 turns off(privacy mode) for like 5 mins? Phone is Galaxy S24 Ultra.

Believe Tapo has a function in the app itself for this:

Had forgot about those...Thank you!!!! Close enough....now I got them to turn off when arriving and vs when leaving. Still would like them to activate back when inside but...some sort of a timer condition would be great. Have to study a little more...

Weeeell.....nice automation, except it didn't work. Not arriving, nor leaving....What's wrong?? All permits allowed, condition: When arriving, cameras Privacy mode on. And vs. But nothing happened. Heeeelp, please!

Answering myself if it helps someone else too...:

Edit: Now done as suggested in https://www.tp-link.com/fi/support/faq/3725/  and Q3. Will test again later today....

Edit 2: Well...after last corrections, it works. Sort of...we have two phones with one profile, so now it works when BOTH phones activates same action. Well, better than nothing anyway. It would still be nice to have an choice of an individually on/off possiblity....
