It has 17.4k installs sharing analytics and was last updated October 23, 2026. Tapo: Cameras Control is a custom integration that adds TP-Link Tapo cameras, doorbells and chimes to Home Assistant. It provides camera, light, siren, switch, button, number, select, sensor, binary sensor and update entities for the devices. Devices are set up in the interface, and Home Assistant can discover them on the network when they reconnect to WiFi. Options cover motion detection, webhooks, time synchronisation, sound threshold detection, custom stream links and the RTSP transport used for video. A media browser setting controls the order of days and recordings, and it can keep thumbnails cached. An action sets the camera recording schedule, provided the camera supports recording plans.
