4.2.0
Version 4.2.0
This release has a significant rewrite of pytapo and this integration in support of new types of battery cameras which are using Hub to communicate. Only control is added for now, and no battery, or any other sensors for the new cameras yet. Motion sensor and streams are also not supported until someone figures out the stream protocols on the camera.
Since Home Assistant will now query the battery powered camera every 30s for updates, you might notice higher battery usage. In case of higher battery usage, please report it through a new issue and I will address the issue.
New Features
- Add #243: Support for cameras powered by batteries through a Hub like Tapo C420S2
Fixes
- Fix #257: Update entity does not have a unique ID and was not visible under device
