I have the exact same problem with TP-Link Tapo C200 Version 1.3.4.

My environment is:

• Plugin Version: 2.2.3
• Homebridge Version: V1.6.1
• Node.js Version: v18.16.0
• NPM Version: v9.5.1

The TP-Link Tapo C210 instead works well.

I have the same problem, anyone figured out a solution? Bought the c200 to use as a baby monitor and would love to be able to get the notifications and videostream pop up on my apple tv again!

Hi, I was having this issue too. The most recent firmware has fixed this issue for me.

I have it working now and here are the details about my camera: version: 1.3.5 Build: 230717 Rel.47395n(4555) Hardware version: 3.0 Plugin: homebridge-tapo-camera v2.2.3

[shapetheLOLa]

There is no 1.3.5 for me yet as of now :( but glad to hear it’s fixed in a new version!

[shapetheLOLa]

Just checked, Im on that firmware also now. Still the same issues for me

[thugleifi]

No firmware update available for me, also forgot to mention, I don't even get the video stream anymore either. It just stuck on loading until it says no response. Homebridge says
"Starting video stream: native x native, native fps, ??? kbps (AAC-eld)" in homebridge

Tried removing and adding the camera again in the home app. What region are you in where the update is available?

[OnishaX]

I’m in New Zealand.. also I don’t have the tplink cloud subscription… if that’s important idk

Hi guys, I confirm that after firmware upgrade from 1.3.4 to latest (1.3.5) the camera restarted to work properly with homebridge.

Hi guys, I confirm that after firmware upgrade from 1.3.4 to latest (1.3.5) the camera restarted to work properly with homebridge.

Is there any other way to update than through the app?

Mine says I have the latest update while showing "Version 1.3.4 Build 230424 Rel76394n(4555)

Located in Sweden, if that makes any difference
