Switch on/off Tapo Camera Privacy

Configuration
1

Hi all,
I just added the Tapo integration via HACS to my Home Assistant and everything worked quite fine.
I am able to switch on/off the Privacy Mode of my new security camera (Tapo C225) manually, but I cant figure out how to change the state with an automation.

The Privacy setting is available as “switch.home_privacy” but I cant figure out how to trigger this in the action section in the automation screen. Can anyone help here?
(Does not show up as a device)

Thanks for any help!

Use “Call service” as the action and then find the “switch” actions and pick your entity. It’s that easy :slight_smile:

You should ideally never use “device” actions.
