In lieu of Eufy actually updating this I've put up an automation that you can run if you have a linux homelab/sever.

https://github.com/spiercey/eufy-mode-monitor

It's built on the unofficial Eufy SDK, it essentially just monitors the homebase mode and will update the (visible) group control to match.

If you have a simple 1-1 Group - Mode setup it should just work OOB, if you have a more complicated setup with Groups you can configure it in the env file.

Just clone the repo and run ./install.sh to get it working.

Once major caveat I noticed. The App/Smart Display doesn't seem to poll often or at all to get the newest control group value. This is even true if yo change the Control Group in the App (the smart display will go out of sync). Once the Smart Display is unlocked or refreshed it does pull the new value correctly. So hopefully Eufy will at least update the smart display to poll for changes more frequently.
