Activate Kasa scene and alert when Sighthound Video detects motion

How this automation works

Automatically activate your TP-Link Kasa scene and receive alerts when Sighthound Video detects an event. This runs whenever a specified Sighthound Video rule sends a detection alert and then calls your phone, sends a notification, and triggers a smart light scene. Ideal for home security or nighttime monitoring with smart camera and lighting integration. Note: Install the IFTTT app on the device(s) where you want to receive notifications.
