How this automation works
Automate your lights for peace of mind when motion is detected. This runs when your TP-Link Tapo camera identifies a person and triggers your Philips Hue lights to blink, toggle, and send a notification through the IFTTT app. Great for home security alerts or ensuring visibility when movement is detected. Note: Install the IFTTT app on the device(s) where you want to receive notifications.
