Ok, sorry i can add more help, as i was forced to “Rollback” to 2026.1.3, Do to the New Default Loaded Dashboard “OverView”, which auto-populated ALL entities into the View.
EDIT: actually im back in late novembers core , currently :frowning: trying to fix everything that this rollback caused, first tried version before latest OS-update, but decided to apply the Image i had in November

I had suddenly 2xc310 & 4xc200, Auto-Populated to the new OverView , beside All other Security and all HVAC Entities, available for regular Users, the cams started also to respond slow

And for me it’s to big a risk doo to the fact that All regular users then have easy full access to ALL Entities there

I guess my issue is caused by incompatibility problems between this integration and HA’s new version.
I recently find my same issue here when HA 2024.4 rise

So I hope I just need to wait

My C200 (i have 4) they worked fine, i don’t think i had problems in 2026.2.0 after latest Tapo-cam update, but i “Rolled Back” HA for other reasons, so i can’t check, now they still work

You can’t compare or make any conclusions upon the url you found, partly it’s Old, and there is also no (real)solution or even “Clues” there

You have to first follow basic troubleshooting, And i just checked the github repos for this integration, And there are no reported issues, for what you describe, years back, which indicates the problem is somehow related to your install, or system

It could be an Auth- error , so you have to check your RAW logfile, not just paste a short line of words
In Settings/system/logs click the 3 dots to the right RAW-logfile, look for relevant errors, you can also choose copy/download file, so you can “control/analyze” your logfile in “suited” text-editor

What are you running you HA on, an SD-cart, or SSD ?

I’m running on HA Green.
My issue can’t be caused by wrong login because it is before login.
I can’t access to add any Tapo device because issue is being showed.
Just “device → add device → select Tapo camera control → ISSUE”

I will continue looking for, but I found nothing since 3 days ago"

I have no idea what you mean

Do you already have any cams in this Integration ?
Or you see yoru Cam is auto-detected and suggest you to Add the Cam ?
In that case go to Hacs, choose the integration tapo-camera
 then click the 3 dots to the right, there click Redownload AND then restart HA, also make sure your Cam is Not added somewhere else, and that you have added a Camera-Account in the App, then turn off your app

You are simply not following common troubleshooting practice, and you dont tell or show what your logfiles says, the Exact time when you try to Add device

Not found What ? Where ?
Follow what i just wrote above, if it fails to add again ( AFTER you followed above) Then find your logfile- as described in my privious Post, if you don’t see anything in the Log-view( in above path , in my privious post), then Click the 3 dots to the right there, and choose RAW-Log

It’s okay, don’t worry, we’re clearly not on the same page, probably I’m not explaining so well


I already had 2 C200 working perfectly in this integration since long time ago, but after upgrading HA, I have this issue.
Over the last 3 days, I’ve reloaded, reinstalled, cleared temp files, deleted, rebooted 300 times, and reinstalled the integration—yet the error persists.

Anyway, thanks for your help regardless, I will follow your suggestions

Could be that there will come a new update soon, for this integration, with pytapo 3.4.7
Nope, requirement came yesterday

update core to 2026.2.1

I was there.

Luckily, I remembered I had an external backup from 2 weeks ago, and by reverting to HA OS Core version 2026.1.3, the Tapo Camera Control integration is working again.
My two C200s are working perfectly without any further issues.
So this seems to confirm my initial theory.

The above has nothing to do with HA or integration version, root cause related. It is exactly what it says it is - your HA instance cannot find pytapo==3.4.7 which exists and is published now for 2 days - pytapo · PyPI .

Nothing to fix on integration, or HA side. You will need to find out why your HA instance is not finding the new version, using cache? DNS issues? Adblock? Only you know. Might go away on its own as well.

I just found this integration and really want to try it, but keep getting this error. The C121 camera I have works through the TP-Link Smart Home integration with live video, etc., and I’m hoping to add this integration to get access to the camera controls and sensors. I’ve also tried removing the TP-Link Smart Home integration before installing this one in case there is a conflict between the two. Thanks in advance for any help getting this to work.

  • Failed setup, will retry: PyTapo KLAP Error #3: (‘Device connection error: 192.168.50.XXX: Server disconnected’, ServerDisconnectedError(‘Server disconnected’))

Never mind - I figured it out. I think it was because my TP-Link Cloud/App user name and password were the same as the one for my Camera Account. I changed one of the passwords and it worked. I’ll leave this here in case this helps someone else.

Yes, I am having this as well. Not the first time I think either, but can’t remember when the last time was.

I am also having motion sensors getting stuck in detected more often now, which is very annoying since I have automations that rely on when motion stops being detected

Please ignore this post, the problem I’m having with HA is not as I thought!

I have an issue, that the sensor for person detection fails to reset. There was a person in view, now it has left, the integration still shows a detected person. Is there any setting about cool down, sensitivity or anything else that would reset this?

Edit: Setting the person detection to off and back to normal did not change anything - still shows as person detected.

I believe that’s a bug in the integration. I have the same thing for a while.

Bug in camera, not integration.

Sorry, I stand corrected and did not mean to offend
 But still, even if there is a bug in the camera, is there no way to work around it in the integration? There some crude workarounds posted here, there are likely nicer ways to work around this in the integration itself
