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

Using the app for Tapo C211. Works like a charm- most of the time. Layout & UI is well thought out. At times the camera feed gets stuck as if it's a 5fps footage even when it's running at 25fps. Wifi runs at 100Mbps with a strong signal for devices. Tried switching to 720p and the issue persists. Once the power outage occurs, the camera restarts but the app doesn't connect at all. When it works it works well. Not sure if its camera issue or app issue. And its Day 2 of purchase.

Something about your Home Map changes nearly every time the app updates which is beyond frustrating. So be prepared to regularly redraw No-Go Zones and Virtual Walls, reposition the Virtual Furniture, and resize the Rooms too (which is not easy). And even if the Map is still the same, the distance the vacuum will go over room lines can noticeably change with app updates. Zero consistency. So even though you don't have to physically vacuum anymore, you will still have digital chores to do.
