Hi,

I see options regarding the LED light (which works),

Where do you see this? Do you have any light entity?

Thanks for the quick reply, see below:

Hi,

I see options regarding the LED light (which works),

Where do you see this? Do you have any light entity?

The entity is shown in the configuration area of the device, along with "flip", "format SD card" etc. Its named switch.garden_indicator_led

As far as I can see there is no light entity associated with this device.

Please enable debug logs.

It mentioned the camera does not support floodlight, but it has a floodlight and it can be controlled in the Tapo app.

[JurajNyiri]

Thank you.

That means the app is controlling the light in a different way. Someone who owns this camera will need to inspect the communication between the camera and app and document the calls, then I can make an update to the integration.

[Jtupz]

Thanks again, understood.

I am happy to do this if its something you are able to assist me with?

[fredrikhaggbom]

I can (probably) help with inspecting the app traffic if necessary. However, I have a C320WS and I can control the floodlight in HA (a light entity is created). I have latest firmware on the camera, 1.3.0. @Jtupz Have I understood correctly that you do not see any floodlight control at all in your integration? When I go to Settings -> Devices & Services -> Tapo: Cameras Control -> "1 device", I can see Floodlight in the "Controls" card.

I can (probably) help with inspecting the app traffic if necessary. However, I have a C320WS and I can control the floodlight in HA (a light entity is created). I have latest firmware on the camera, 1.3.0. @Jtupz Have I understood correctly that you do not see any floodlight control at all in your integration? When I go to Settings -> Devices & Services -> Tapo: Cameras Control -> "1 device", I can see Floodlight in the "Controls" card.

Correct, the only entities I see under the control section are:

Manual Alarm Set (button press) Manual Alarm Stop (button Press) Privacy (switch) Siren (switch)

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

[fredrikhaggbom]

@Jtupz Well, I did look at the traffic between app -> camera, but since it already works for me I doubt that it will help... However, can you please perform these steps and post the response from the last curl request:

1. Go to https://coding.tools/md5 and enter the password you've set up as device account for the camera. Copy the MD5 hashed value.

2. Perform this request and copy stok from the result (needed in next step). Make sure to replace the password value with the hash from step 1, and the IP with the actual (local) ip of the camera:

   curl -i -s -k -X $'POST' \
   -H $'Content-Type: application/json'-H $'Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate' \
   --data-binary $'{\"method\":\"login\",\"params\":{\"username\":\"admin\",\"password\":\"YOUR-MD5-HASH\"}}' \
   $'https://YOUR-CAMERAIP/'

3. Perform this request. Replace IP with the local IP of your camera and "STOK-FROM-PREV-REQUEST" with the stok you received earlier:

   curl -i -s -k -X $'POST' \
   -H $'Content-Type: application/json' \
   --data-binary $'{\"method\":\"multipleRequest\",\"params\":{\"requests\":[{\"method\": \"getLdc\",\"params\": {\"image\": {\"name\": [\"switch\", \"common\"]}},},]}}' \
   $'https://YOUR-CAMERAIP/stok=STOK-FROM-PREV-REQUEST/ds'

Post the result from the last request.

I have several CW320WS, some HW 1.0 FW 1.3.0 that runs flawless, instead HW 2.0 FW 1.0.5 expose a less quality image sensor and different behavior on services like siren and alarm and floodlight. I hope will help the output of the curl command suggested above:

[fredrikhaggbom]

Thanks @fuzzybear62! I'm not really entirely familiar with the code of this project, but from what I can see, HW 2.0 does not have property "force_wtl_state" in the getLdc result. I think that's the property used for creating the floodlight entity. Is this correct, @JurajNyiri? Not sure which property to use instead on hw 2.0...

[JurajNyiri]

Please turn on the light and post the result, then turn off the light and post the result.

[fredrikhaggbom]

Yes, please post result from when lamp is off and then on, but please use this request instead of the one in step 4 above:

[fredrikhaggbom]

The responses are identical which I guess means that HW 2.0 handles the floodlight in a totally separate call then the HW 1.0 camera. I think we need to go back to @JurajNyiri original request: someone needs to trace the app traffic to see the request used for toggling/handling floodlight in the HW 2 camera. This can be done fairly easy for example using Burp suite.

[Jtupz]

@Jtupz Well, I did look at the traffic between app -> camera, but since it already works for me I doubt that it will help... However, can you please perform these steps and post the response from the last curl request:

1. Go to https://coding.tools/md5 and enter the password you've set up as device account for the camera. Copy the MD5 hashed value.
2. Perform this request and copy stok from the result (needed in next step). Make sure to replace the password value with the hash from step 1, and the IP with the actual (local) ip of the camera:

curl -i -s -k -X $'POST' \
    -H $'Content-Type: application/json'-H $'Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate' \
    --data-binary $'{\"method\":\"login\",\"params\":{\"username\":\"admin\",\"password\":\"YOUR-MD5-HASH\"}}' \
    $'https://YOUR-CAMERAIP/'

4. Perform this request. Replace IP with the local IP of your camera and "STOK-FROM-PREV-REQUEST" with the stok you received earlier:

curl -i -s -k -X $'POST' \
    -H $'Content-Type: application/json' \
    --data-binary $'{\"method\":\"multipleRequest\",\"params\":{\"requests\":[{\"method\": \"getLdc\",\"params\": {\"image\": {\"name\": [\"switch\", \"common\"]}},},]}}' \
    $'https://YOUR-CAMERAIP/stok=STOK-FROM-PREV-REQUEST/ds'

Post the result from the last request.

I have the MD5 and IP address ready, but where should I be performing these actions?

To add to this, the service request for the sirens do not work for me:

_Failed to call service button/press. Error: Parameter to get/do does not exist, Response: {"errorcode": -40106}

[fuzzybear62]

On the app there isn't a button for siren, so I don't know how to activate/deactivate

If needed I can capture more protocol calls

[JurajNyiri]

@fuzzybear62 could you please also provide responses there? I need those to make adjustments to the code. Especially with the lamp statuses, please document also when it was ON, when OFF etc. Please also add request to turn on/off the lamp. What is reverseWhiteLamp and whiteLamp?

[fuzzybear62]

command_and_output.txt

There is no On or Off call, buth toggle. So you have to obtain status (as in my example) and then take the correct action on that

reverseWhiteLamp toggle the status On/Off

Upon app configuration the lamp will stay on for "X" seconds (user's choice in app) and with light intensity (user's choice in app) that I suppose are "wtl_intensity_level":"3","wtl_force_time":"300" in the status query

[JurajNyiri]

I see "getWhitelampStatus","result":{"status":1, in both requests even after executing the reverse. How does this work? What is the value when the lamp is ON and what is the value when lamp is OFF?

Could you please also gather calls for setting the intensity and time and take screenshots from the app how it looks like and all the options?

[fuzzybear62]

"result":{"rest_time":300,"status":1} LAMP in ON "result":{"rest_time":0,"status":0} LAMP is OFF

With HW 2.0 the lamp behavior depends on the Night mode settings that are IR, Color and "Intelligent". Mine are settled up to "intelligent" and the commands refer to that setting. For sure I can dig for each option, but I need some time. I'll post here as soon I've done.

[fuzzybear62]

Here a near complete protocol for HW 2.0 and 1.0.5 FW HW2.0_protocol.txt

and here the input/output json for many commands C320WS_HW2.0_Protocol.json.txt

the response for the set command it seems always the same I don't belive that you would replicate the full app in HA and keep in mind that is on the market the HW 2.2 (I do not have one of this batch) but if you need some other output I'll do in the spare time

[JurajNyiri]

Thank you, this is great. I will try to implement this soon.

[JurajNyiri]

@fuzzybear62 released pytapo 3.2.2

Please install it using pip install pytapo==3.2.2. Then create following file

from pytapo import Tapo

# Camera
user = "admin"  # admin user
password = ""  # cloud password
host = ""  # ip of the camera, example: 192.168.1.52

tapo = Tapo(host, user, password, password)

print(tapo.getMost())
print(tapo.getWhitelampStatus())
print(tapo.reverseWhitelampStatus())
print(tapo.getWhitelampStatus())
print(tapo.reverseWhitelampStatus())
print(tapo.getWhitelampConfig())
print(tapo.setWhitelampConfig(300))
print(tapo.getWhitelampConfig())

print(tapo.setWhitelampConfig(False, 3))
print(tapo.getWhitelampConfig())
print(tapo.setWhitelampConfig(False, 4))
print(tapo.getWhitelampConfig())

And post results, this should verify all the new functionality in 3.2.1. Once we verify it works I can do changes to HA integration.

[JurajNyiri]

@fuzzybear62 also please post all the possible choices in the app for intensityLevel and forceTime of the light so that these can be replicated in HA as well.

Could you please try again? Make sure that you are using 3.2.2 as there was a bug in 3.2.1.

[fuzzybear62]

"Collecting pytapo==3.2.2" pretty sure :-)

Confirm that time is set, but luminosity is not

Manually with this command:

{"method":"multipleRequest","params":{"requests":[{"method":"setWhitelampConfig","params":{"image":{"switch":{"wtl_force_time":"1800","wtl_intensity_level":"4"}}}}]}}

it works

[JurajNyiri]

Could you please try the commands I sent above and post output?

[fuzzybear62]

I have tested the last command you sent. And also checked on the camera. This is the output output_second.txt

[JurajNyiri]

Thank you, this was helpful, the only difference I see it expects a string and we were sending in an integer.

Please download 3.2.3 and run this again and send output, should work at least partially now.

@fuzzybear62 @Jtupz please download manually https://github.com/JurajNyiri/HomeAssistant-Tapo-Control/archive/refs/heads/reverseLight.zip and follow manual installation steps or install 5.3.0.beta.6.

Then enable debug logs.

logger:
  default: critical
  logs:
    custom_components.tapo_control: debug

You should now see a new button entity Toggle Spotlight and 2 select entites - Spotlight Intensity and Spotlight on/off for. I had no way how to test this so it will probably not work, let me know and upload debug logs if it is not working. Selects should be automatically reflecting also settings in the app, and setting it once selected. Button should be toggling the spotlight.

Follow up question: Can you try setting forceTime to something that is not supported by the app? For example print(tapo.setWhitelampConfig(10, 2)) or print(tapo.setWhitelampConfig(3600, 2)), does it actually set it and work? If yes, try a lot higher numbers to see if there is a limit.

I've already tested to send values out of boundaries for time and luminosity, and they are ignored. The only values admited are those in the limit I wrote on the doc

My istance of HA is managing my house, and I'll prefer to maintain the status of production system. How can I test without messing up the running installation?

[JurajNyiri]

You could spin up another instance of HA. Or you could test and if something is broken roll back to stable 5.2.4. I am running BETA versions of this integration myself in my house so you could consider it kind of stable. Go with beta.6 I just released, there is not much that could go wrong (worst case you do not see new entities) and worst case you rollback and restart.

[fuzzybear62]

Sorry, but I've no time to start up another HA. Have you put this version on HACS marked as beta?

[JurajNyiri]

Yes, you can download it here: https://github.com/JurajNyiri/HomeAssistant-Tapo-Control/releases/tag/5.3.0.beta.6 See https://hacs.xyz/docs/faq/beta/

Interesting, I have just found that C200 HW 3.0 "supports" this spotlight - it turns on little white LED, but there is no force time! It also ignores setting for intensity even if it reports "5".

[fuzzybear62]

I'll candidate myself to manage their dev team :-)

[JurajNyiri]

Haha. Unfortunately that means that I am still not able to test this fully - but the entities are there so it should work for you. Let me know how it goes.

[JurajNyiri]

Released 5.3.0.beta.7 based on what I learned from C200 HW3.0.

@fuzzybear62 What is left to test:

• Time on for select being available and created
• Time on for select working (and synced with app)
• Intensity select working (and synced with app)
• Light actually being turned on on C320WS

[fuzzybear62]

I've tested the beta6 and it works for luminosity, time and toggle. There is a glitch in the tapo app when you change the time the goes in loop, but I'll investigate later.

Let my test the 7th before sending the logs
