Access TP-Link Tapo c110 (Invalid auth data, missing hostname trim)

[robozb]

Dear Developers,

What do You think, can I access my TP-Link C110 With this library? The first trying wasn't successful :( I'd like to turn on/off the "privacy mode".

Thanks: Bela

OK, the problem is solved partialy, I mistyped the IP address string(+1 space) "192.168.0.27 " ->"192.168.0.27" But now the auth data is incorrect, even so I can connect to the camera(stream) by VLC:

Anyway which credentials should I use?

• camera's or
• the app's (I disabled the two factors authentication as well)

I mention it this is a Tapo-C110 :)

Thanks!

You need to create a camera account via the Tapo app first. Or you can use "admin" username and your tplink cloud password, some cameras allow control only through that account.

You do not need to disable 2FA.

Dear @JurajNyiri,

What user/password are good here throws exception in the python prg :(

The host is the ip address of the camera?

Happy New Year!

Bela

[robozb]

None of the checked user/password pairs were good :(

Neither the app credentials nor the camera’s :(

Both case throw auth exception.

Thanks for any help!

[JurajNyiri]

Use "admin" username and your tplink cloud password.

[robozb]

Dear @JurajNyiri,

Awesome!!! Now I can access the camera :)

So the credentials: Username: "admin" Password: WEB/ (IOS)APP password (not the camera account password!) Host: IP of the camera on localhost!

Thanks: Bela

Incredible, the privacy settings works as well!

tapo.setPrivacyMode(False)

Thank you so much!
