How this automation works
Automate your smart lighting and WhatsApp alerts with a single Webhook trigger. This Applet runs when a Webhook event fires, turning on your TP-Link Tapo device, setting its brightness and color temperature, and sending a WhatsApp message alert. Perfect for smart home automation and remote monitoring—customize the message to fit your tone. Note: This requires a reachable Webhook endpoint.
