2.1

Version 2.1 🏃

New Features

Motion sensor

The first time your camera detects a motion it creates a new binary sensor. This sensor is updated in real time whenever there is a motion to on or off state.
After the next Home Assistant reboot, this sensor is restored with unavailable state until it detects motion again.

Motion sensor should recover from any reboots or disconnects of the camera automatically.

See the new troubleshooting section in readme if you have any questions regarding motion sensor before creating a new issue.

Camera image

Component now also provides an image of the current stream.

It generates it from the current stream on Home Assistant. While this is a common practice in other integrations too, we could do better and get the image directly from the camera instead. See this feature request if you would like to help.

New update coordinator

This release includes a rewrite of how updates are handled, resulting in 2 times reduction of number of requests outgoing camera while not affecting update speed.

Other minor updates

• support for services camera.disable_motion_detection and camera.enable_motion_detection
• support for services camera.turn_on camera.turn_off

VERSION 2.0 🎉

It has been a few days since the first release, and I feel its a time for version 2.0 which is packed with a lot of awesome new features.

I would like to say special thank you to everyone who reported bugs or joined discussion on Home Assistant: Community Forum

New Features

• Completely refactored the whole integration. Code is now a lot easier to read, simpler and up to current HASS standards.
• Set up via Home Assistant Integrations UI, which also means, setup via configuration.yaml is no longer supported.
• Automatically creates a new device in Home Assistant with its information like firmware, brand, model etc
• Each device automatically creates 2 entities - HD and SD streams of camera platform
• Camera stream is now available
• Ability to format SD card of a camera
• Better error handling and validation of service calls before they get executed

Minor updates

• Integration now has an icon, brand and model
• Added motion_detection and motion_detection_sensitivity attributes
• Added privacy_mode attribute
• Added alarm and alarm_mode attributes
• Added led attribute
• Added auto_track attribute

Breaking Changes

• Integration is now set up via UI. You will need to remove tapo_control from configuration.yaml and set up integration using Home Assistant -> Configuration -> Integrations. Just search for tapo and add the cameras.
• Entities of platform tapo_control are no longer created, camera platform is used instead.
• Entity names now include _hd or _sd in the name. This does not affect services.
