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 good experience anymore. the app used to work well however I recently got a td12 doorbell and it constantly fails to ring my phone. the troubleshooting does not work, and I've tried everything at this point. my wife also has the app on her phone and again nothing but intermittent alerts, as if the app mind of it's own. latest issue is the doorbell rings no one is there. all directions on the troubleshooting have been followed the app is up to date as is the doorbell. really not very good.

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.
