Away automation

Need Advice

I'm pretty invested in the Tapo/Kasa ecosystem. I currently have presets for different lights and outlets to go on at different times that I need through out the week.

Is there a way to set up an away mode that when I leave the city anything that's supposed to turn on will stay off, i.e. Lights, for the duration of my stay away from home?

All I've found so far is that the trigger will go off when I'm maximum 1.2 miles away from my house which is not enough,

I considered setting the airport as a location trigger, but that doesn't stop the setting turning something on at a future time and day. I would need a way to overide that.

Any suggestions would be very helpful.
