Activate Smart Life scene and Tapo shortcut when a Webhook event is received

Connect

How this automation works

Automate your smart devices by activating a Smart Life scene and a TP-Link Tapo shortcut whenever your Webhook event triggers. This runs each time your Webhooks service receives a web request with the specified event name. It's ideal for integrating external systems or sensors with Smart Life and Tapo for seamless smart home control. Note: This requires a reachable webhook endpoint (URL).
