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.

Awesome app! Works well. I have a power controller on all my security cams and network equipment. One request is to support a power cycle option so I can power cycle my network/wifi equipment because if I power it off then I don't have wifi connection to power it back on. Hence the need for a power cycle option. Like a power off, wait 15 seconds, and power back on. Support that and I can guarantee you will sell more for that very purpose!
