TP-Link Tapo

Easy to use and to set up devices and it has some basic automation features. However the app comes with issues. I've had it not sent camera alerts through, despite them coming over my smart speakers. Worst is the notifications. They've bundled all of them together, so the same sound is used for motion alert, firmware ready to install, battery drain. Wich is bad as you want a distinctive sound for motion alert. I don't get the impression they will fix this

Not a bad app. Easy to set up new devices. I love that it rolls in Kasa items. Sometimes it takes a long time (10-20 sec) to communicate with a cam, which you have to wait for with every setting change. Why isn't there a simple toggle for cams Do Not Disturb for x time?? Having to set (and remember to turn off) a schedule for it is nuts. Frequently the widgets just spin forever, which stinks. Smartbulb control is decent, weirdly less so for strips. Overall a decent app, with some annoyances.

Very good app. the only drawback (doorbell specific) is that you cannot turn off notifications from activity, but also keep alerts on when someone clicks the doorbell. I have one at my back door which is a right of way, I don't want to see people passing through, just when they click the button. the camera records activity regardless of this I'm hopeful an update will resolve this.
