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

Updates

• Improve update process time by reducing number of requests going to camera from N to 1 on each update request

4.1.2

Fixes

• Fixes slow state update of switch and select entities on changing state. State is now updated as soon as camera acknowledges the command and does not wait for the next refresh cycle. This fixes most of the cases where switches / selects would revert to old values. There is still a case when this can happen which will be fixed in next release.
