Invalid authentication: Server response doesn't match our challenge on ip TP-Link

Configuration

Don’t know why exactly, but in my case, I used a capital for the first character of my username (e-mail address), and then it worked. Thanks all.

So I am still getting these TP-Link issues on a daily basis but it seems to authenticate just fine? Why is this a daily occurrence?

Looks like an expiration issue? Anyone have a fix?

Thank you, this did it for me in the KASA app.

Still getting some strange behavior though all cameras are working just fine in HA so not sure what is causing these to stay:

  1. Remove device from Tapo app
  2. Reset the Tapo device
  3. Connect phone to same WiFi access point as device.
  4. Add device in Tapo app. DO NOT USE QUICK LINKS OR FOUND DEVICE
  5. Choose network to connect to. Add password for WiFi network
  6. If it says this device has been configured before. Choose delete old configuration.
  7. Once you have finished connecting you should now be able to add it in Home Assistant.

This is bascially crap programming in the Tapo App.

Fixed my issues after finding some old Tapo Camera Control and TP-Link HACS integrations that needed to be removed since HA now has built in integration.

The KASA App itself now has Third Party Compatibility as well. I enabled that but then like others found out the first letter of my email address in the Kasa app was a capital letter so once I used that it added all the other devices.

Yup this worked perfectly

I’m having this issue with two C211 cameras. The only way I was able to get them to integrate to HA was to set a device password on each, and add them as ONVIF devices.

This is the process that finally worked for me. Thanks.
