I think, maybe, this is related to this issue: https://github.com/JurajNyiri/HomeAssistant-Tapo-Control/issues/443
Move to preset select entity is not available when the camera is in privacy mode. This was introduced in https://github.com/JurajNyiri/HomeAssistant-Tapo-Control/releases/tag/5.3.0 as a feature. As soon as camera moves away from privacy mode the entity is available for control again. Here is a simple script that has been working for me since the creation of this integration:
alias: "Privacy: OFF"
sequence:
- service: switch.turn_off
data: {}
target:
entity_id: switch.office_privacy
- service: select.select_option
data:
option: Room
target:
entity_id: select.office_move_to_preset
I thought the same and that's why my automation wait 2 minutes after disabling privacy mode to move my camera to a preset but often that doesn't work and the preset option is unavailable even after I turn the privacy mode off

Same here:
This is 2 minutes after turning privacy (privacidad) off, the preset list (apuntar a) remains disabled.
This happens randomly on all my 4 C200.
I'm not entire sure if it depends on how long privacy mode has been on or not
@krue81 check logs. It might be unavailable because of different reason, probably the camera is unavailable due to network issues.

This is the only error that appears on the log:

The camera has good network connection: I can toggle quickly between privacy and normal mode, and can watch the stream both via WebRTC card and the Tapo App.
This behavior started to appear like 3 or 4 months ago... before that, the cameras switched seamlessly from and to privacy mode and without any issue with the presets list
In the screenshot provided the entities are unavailable. That could be due to privacy mode turned on or the camera being unavailable (in which case there would be a log message).

The camera is available:
Privacy mode is turned off:
But the select for move to preset is unavailable until I reinstall the camera:
If I check the state of the camera, it reports correctly the presets I have saved... it is only the select that is unavailable:

I see, that shouldn't be the case. Could you please enable debug logs for the integration and post them when this happens?

This is the log for a couple of minutes... I see references to my other 3 cameras (that right now are working ok), but do not see any reference to the one that is showing this issue right now (it is called camera.escalas)
Hello, I'm having the same problems. The select is there, the presets are there but the select does not let me choose any presets. Also seeing the same errors Option privacy is not valid for
.
I think, at least in my case, that this could be related to https://github.com/JurajNyiri/HomeAssistant-Tapo-Control/issues/488 ... as yesterday I reinstalled the problematic camera (I've been having the same problems with all my 4 cameras, randomly), and adjusted my home and away automations, so they send the commands to the cameras sequentially (turn privacy off then turn led on then move to defined preset, etc...) as they were configured to send the commands in parallel for each the 4 cameras. I did some testing and for the past 24h they been working as expected, with no issues going to and from privacy mode and always showing the preset list (for now).
Will be doing more testing to check if that indeed was the problem.

Just a heads up... putting my automations with commands in parallel worked for a day and a half... today, I woke up with two of my four cameras missing the move-to-preset dropdown/select... So, the issue still remains and is not solved by sending single commands to the cameras (even with delay between them) to prevent the authentication error...
To move this issue forwards we will need debug logs with the information of when the presets went unavailable as well as if there were any automations executed at that time.
to me this issue is sourcing when the integration is reloaded and if this happens too quick the cameras aren't loaded correctly. Indeed, i get the error restarting HA but honestly (at least in my case) i get errors also reloading the single cams. Could you please check if you can reload cameras without issues? Thanks
I was looking at this again today trying to replicate, but I was not able to, I tried reloading, switching privacy mode, rebooting camera... it works in all the cases.
If we find a way how to reliably replicate this I can probably fix it.
last time i tried it was almost 100% at an HA reboot to loose at least one camera (i have three) let me try again this evening, i'll let you know
Can you try to: 1) create 2 viewpoints 2) on HA create an automation that moves the camera to viewpoint 1 and then turns privacy on 3) create another automation that turns privacy off and move the camera to viewpoint 2
If you wait a few hours between step 2 and 3 when you turn privacy off the automation doesn't find the viewpoint 2 so the camera doesn't move (at least this is what happens to me)
Description
I have 3 C200 camera and automation in HA that move them in 2 different presets I've created in each camera.
Very often the preset configuration disappear and if I look at my automation I can't see the two saved presets anymore. I have to reinstall the cameras each time.
I'm not sure if thia happens after I turn privacy mode on for a long time or it's random
Reproduction Steps
Create two presets in a camera Create an automation in HA that move the camera to those presets Turn on the camera privacy mode Check if the automation shows the presets
Expected behavior
The presets should be visible and available even if the camera is in privacy mode
If applicable, add error logs.
