Yes. I have it set to turn on a light when it senses movement, then turn it back off after a delay. That seems to mostly work. Caveats: - It doesn't always turn on. I assume it has some kind of rest period before it senses again. Is it the same length as my delay to turn the light off? - I turned up the sensitivity because it wasn't always firing. I noticed that it would sometimes trigger on reflected movement in glass. Not quite what I wanted. - It can only turn on/off one switch/plug. I suppose I could set up multiple triggers for motion on the same camera. I haven't tried. - It can have areas of focus and sentry motions. I don't think I can trigger on motion detected in a specific area of focus. - None of this seems to integrate with my Hubitat, so I'll have to go figure out how to code this up, I guess. Maybe Alexa integration is better for this than Kasa's software. I don't know yet. And in case this seems overly negative, I have several Kasa devices and a TP-Link wireless mesh. I'm generally a fan of the company.
