Hi, I’ve recently installed several Tapo C720 floodlight cameras. The native HA integration does not seem to expose a light switch and motion sensors among other entities I’d expect a floodlight camera to expose so I’m using this one.
One thing that is striking me however is that a number of entities seem to be separate from what I see in the Tapo app. The Floodlight and Floodlight (Timed) buttons turn on the floodlight, however the app does not indicate the floodlight is turned on. Similarly, if I turn the floodlight on via the app, it does actually turn on, but the HA switches don’t change.
Also, if the floodlight turns on by its own motion detection, I don’t see the HA switch turn on either.
The spotlight on/off time seems to only relate to the HA Floodlight (Timed) button and not the App’s Floodlight Auto On Duration.
Are these (and other functions) separate from similar functions in the app? I’d like to be able to run an automation on when the light turns on but it appears that unless the person turning it on is HA, the entity doesn’t actually reflect the light’s physical on state.
