It will be fixed on next release already merged to main.
Hi guys! Iāve readed the Troubleshooting | FAQ regarding the topic āBinary sensor for motion doesnāt show up or workā and I followed all the steps but the one related to webhooks (without success, my C510W Motion Sensor is not showing although the Noise Sensor is showing) and Iāve done a little research about webhooks because I donāt know how to enable or check them. Iāll appreciate any hint or help
Make sure the camera has motion detection turned on
Make sure the camera has privacy mode turned off
Make sure the camera can see you and your movement
If you have webhooks enabled, and your Home Assistant internal URL is reachable on HTTP, make sure camera can reach it.
Make sure you have correct IP set for Home Assistant. Turn on Advanced Mode under /profile. Go to /config/network and under Network Adapter verify correct IP is shown for the device. If it is not correct, under Home Assistant URL uncheck Automatic next to Local Network and set it to http://:8123. DO NOT USE HTTPS.
Certain camera firmwares have pullpoint broken, with only webhooks working. If you are not able to run webhooks because of above (https, or vlan setup), binary sensor will never show up.
Try walking in front of the camera
If above didnāt work, restart the camera and try again
Also make sure that:
binary sensor is not disabled via entity, check .storage/core.entity_registry for disabled entities, look for ādisabled_byā: āuserā on platform ātapo_controlā. If it is, remove the whole entity or change to ādisabled_byā: null, and restart HASS.
binary sensor is enabled in tapo integration options
onvif port 2020 on camera is opened
EDIT: Suddenly it started working without changing anything ĀÆ_(ć)_/ĀÆ
Just waited a few hours
Hint: Thereās is no reason for you to post the FAQ, it would be enough if you just said you have read it
Reinstall the Cams again( And read whatās in front of you(all !) before click anything ;), or go to the integration, and go through āConfigureā, Make sure you read it All
Also, i would be a good idea if you tell/show what you have done (beside reading the FAQ),
I only post it with a for the ones that I did and a for the ones that I was asking that had no idea how to check it. That was the reason
Who would have known !
Going back to my problem:
The motion sensor is showed now but it does not detect nothing
Going back to my commends.
Please read this url, and try to ārefineā your way of communicating
How to help us help you - or How to ask a good question.
PS: I doubt it would be there, if it havenāt detected motion
The sensor shows up only if the connection already worked one time. If it stops working and you have not changed anything, it is a camera issue unfortunately most likely. You can try the official HA onvif integration to see if that behaves better (it will most likely not).
Thank you all. Iāll check it also the HA Onvif integration.
EDIT: @JurajNyiri I tested with Onvif and it does not show the Motion sensor.
I was testing the motion sensor using Synology Surveillance and the camera detection is working correctly there.
I also tested enabling Tapo App notifications and it shows notifications every time detect something meanwhile HA is not detecting the most of them.
A few weeks ago (posted above) I had problems with the new firmware, but reintegrating solved it and it worked again for some time. But since yesterday Iām getting āAuthentication expiredā and I am prompted to reconfigure. When Iām doing this I get told that the Tapo Cloud password is wrong, but I am 100% it wasnāt. I reset the password anyway and tried the new one (copied and pasted it to be sure) but I am still getting āInvalid cloud passwordā. Anyone else having this problem or anyone has a hint for me? Iāll try reseting the pw again later, but I am fairly sure that this is not the problem.
Same problem, I came here looking to see if there is a solution.
Yes scroll a little bit higher or read readme. There is an issue open with solution.
So itās the special characters? Weird, why did it work with special characters for weeks? Iāll try changing it as soon as I get home.
Good morning,
My cameras have also stopped working (CS420). āIt couldnāt be configured.ā
Any solution?
Thank you
Is it possible to put a camera view with a default preset? And not having to change with the āMove to presetā drop-down list
Thank you for this amazing Custom Component, Iāve been using it for a few weeks now and Iām loving itā¦ Most of the functionality is working for me however, I just canāt seem to find a way to trigger the siren on the C500.
Get this error:
Failed to call service siren/turn_on. Error: Parameter to get/do does not exist, Response: {āerror_codeā: -40106}
Iām fairly new to the HA scene and well smart devices in general, please advise on what I can do to get the camera siren to work, if itās even possible currently.
Thank you
Yes, When you mount your cam in the ceiling/wall or where ever, you point the Cams Default in the direction itās suppose to cover , after every restart it goes there approx in the middle of itās cover-range
My two C210 cameras have stopped working in the integration, but they still work in the Tapo app. When I try to reconfigure or delete/add the cameras, it wonāt accept the cloud password, like so:
I am entering the cloud password correctly. To check, I logged out of the Tapo app, then back in using the same password. Works in the app, but not in the HA integration. The camera password and the cloud password are the same. Any help in solving this problem is appreciated.
