There is a place in the Tapo app where you set that.
Any idea where in the app? I’ve looked all over the tapo app. Can’t find anywhere to set a location other than selecting a room name…
An update to my problem above. I could not find a way to modify latitude/longitude attributes in the tapo app. Even after hard resetting the camera it still remembered these settings unfortunately.
On the HA side It seems like the behaviour of the default map dashboard is also to display all entitites that have latitude/longitude attributes set and there is no option to change this unless you remove the default_config.
I ended up modifying the source code of this custom component (camera.py) to override the default behaviour of copying all the attributes - as shown below:
for attr, value in camData["basic_info"].items():
self._attr_extra_state_attributes[attr] = value
#override location attributes modification
self._attr_extra_state_attributes["longitude"] = 0
self._attr_extra_state_attributes["latitude"] = 0
self._attr_extra_state_attributes["has_set_location_info"] = 0
#end of modification
In a future update, it might be useful to add an option to this component to override these attributes.

Great stuff ! But unfortunately binary_sensor for motion is not created with a tapo c200. I followed all the steps in troubleshooting section, movement is detected in tapo app but no entity in Home assistant is created. I restated HA several times without any changes. Any ideas ?
Malke sure port 2020 works on your network and there ae no errors in error log. Try with official onvif integration instead.
This morning I have a binary_sensor for motion. Don‘t know why perhaps it just takes a while…
Did you fix the issue? I am experiencing the same problem of 0 bytes image being created when taking a snapshot in HD. I have no problems creating snapshots on SD.
Same issue over here. Did you fix it? How?
It might be because of maximum number of parallel streams (which is 2) limitation of Tapo cameras. Maybe try running snapshot when not actively looking at the stream.
Hi,
I’m really enjoying the component and I get no delays in my stream after disabling the stream option on my host that’s having a I5 host. I’ve added two different presets for my camera in the Tapo app. In the discriber of your component I only see the option to save or create a preset. How can I create a new preset in home assistant and create a button next to the camera stream to move the camera to the created preset?
Thanks in advance,
Yours sincerely,
Bart
Hello,
There is a select entity available to move the camera to created presets.
Is there by any way a change for you to make a tutorial for this one? I really enjoy your work and it’s better than the most options I’ve found so far.
Hey there already is one in readme - HomeAssistant-Tapo-Control/EXAMPLES_LOVELACE.md at 6e986adb8ce931e8ca0d9c75e6bd13c348b8a5fa · JurajNyiri/HomeAssistant-Tapo-Control · GitHub . Let me know if you have any specific questions.
Hello friends,
Is there a way to take a screenshot and record a video when motion is detected ?
Kindly guide.
Thank you.
Currently I am using motioneye to record a video on detecting motion and then send the recorded video to me via telegram.
I hope the camera services will help me to achieve the same.
Yesterday I tried, I was able to take the snapshot and record a video.
I want to send the video to myself via telegram. I know how to do that but the issue is until the recording is not finished the file has the extension .tmp. How would I know the recording has been finished and then upload the file to telegram.
Kindly guide.
also I have noticed that with motioneye the video recording starts immediately once the motion is detected but if I use the camera and stream integration the recording starts two seconds late. Can this be tweaked ?
Hello, model C420 is not mentioned in your description. I managed to add the integration and discover my cameras; but I can not find an entity to actually stream the videos. I want to integrate my two cameras with Custom Camera Card - UI Lovelace Minimalist. Any chance to address these entities?
Hello, read readme on GitHub. Post in this thread is not up to date.
Were there any changes of TP-Link policy with multiple access streams?
Since a while now I can’t seem to connect with any of my C310; always the “Invalid authentication data” error. They work fine using VLC.
True, I’m also using Synology Surveillance Station and Frigate. But that wasn’t a problem before…
The C200, I also have, shows no problems.
