Tapo c200 onvif motion problem on new fw

[orrpan]

No motion is registered by scrypted.
Seems like home assistant addon found a solution, could it be applied here too?

Facing same problem for me on Tapo c200, can't got any onvif motion event.

[Oriolgn]

Same problem on Tapo C200, Tapo C100 works

[TiFerr]

Same here… ☹️
Console output: createSubscription error Error: ONVIF SOAP Fault: {"value":"SOAP-ENV:Sender"}

[wrobelda]

Same problem on Tapo C200, Tapo C100 works

I have a C100 and can't get it to work, either. Are you on 1.3.6 firmware?

C100 is on 1.1.15

[wrobelda]

C100 is on 1.1.15

OK, mine's on 1.3.6 already

[alessioprescenzo]

Hi, I have the same above-mentioned problem, the motion sensor doesn't work. Any update on this? I would really like to use the motion sensor to have HKSV working :)

[koush]

need camera console log with onvif debug mode logging enabled.

[wrobelda]

Not sure if that's the debugging mode you meant — I enabled "Debug events" in camera's advanced settings. Did not see any logging settings in the Plugin itself.

Running into the same issues after updating the c100 to 1.3.6. The people at Home Assistant seem to have fixed it on their platform after contacting Tapo who stated that they didn't change anything in their ONVIF implementation.

home-assistant/core#91661 (comment)

I'll try to look into it as well.

[TiFerr]

While still trying to make this motion detection working in the c200 I came across this from the homeassistant guys:

Camera uses ONVIF standard to communicate motion events. This communication can work with 2 ways:

Pullpoint: Client opens connection to the camera and waits until the camera responds. Camera responds only when there is some event to communicate. After camera responds, client reopens the connection and waits again.
Webhook: Client tells the camera its URL to receive events at. When an event happens, camera communicates this to the URL client defined.
Webhooks are the preffered method of communication as they are faster and lighter. That being said;

Webhooks require an HTTP only HA setup because Tapo cameras do not support HTTPS webhooks
Webhooks require a proper base_url to be defined in HA, so that the URL communicated is correct (you can check URL sent by enabling debug logs for homeassistant.onvif)
Points above are automatically determined by this integration and if the HA does not meet the criteria, webhooks are disabled. That being said;

There are camera (and/or firmwares) which freeze when both webhooks and pullpoint connection is created, which happens at the start to see if webhooks is supported at all so that communication can fallback back to pullpoint.
There are camera firmwares which have pullpoint broken (1.3.6 C200) and only webhooks work
For webhooks to work, all the user needs to do is make sure he is using HA on HTTP and that the HA is available on the URL communicated.

Could it be because Scrypted base URL is https and the Tapo camera doesn't register the webhook?

Good find! I've decided to look into it, but upon inspecting the Scrypted source code, I observed (please correct me if I am mistaken) that it is exclusively using Pullpoint communication for receiving motion detection events. So the secure protocol doesn't seem to be the cause of the problem. I decided to experiment with Webhook communication, and I achieved positive results. Using a minimal server with Webhooks, I managed to receive both Motion and CellMotion detection events when motion initiated and ceased.

I've opened Issue #1107 to continue discussing Webhooks and have also shared the example code for reference.

So just putting this here as it might help someone in the interim.
You can downgrade your camera to an older firmware following:
nervous-inhuman/tplink-tapo-c200-re#4

Firmwares: https://github.com/tapo-firmware/Tapo_C200/tree/main

Do this at your own risk as I am sure there could be complications. For myself I have C200 Hv1 and went to 1.1.8 as I was following this table from HA forum on working versions: home-assistant/core#91661 (comment)

Then motion events should be working again after some rebooting.

Finally would check this out: https://community.tp-link.com/en/home/forum/topic/631802
As it looks like there will be a new firmware release soon. might be able to get the beta but I'm still waiting on a response.

TL;DR: Reflash camera to old FW version. Hope they fix soon.

Edit: Have received a response "Hi, The official firmware for the Tapo C200 V1 will be released soon and it will solve the issue, it's suggested to wait for the official firmware if you don't mind. Best Regards"

[jeffreylanters]

Thank you for the update! The exact some problems are occurring on the C100 (V2) models, have you receive an update about those as well?

Thanks a lot!! Life saver!!! I started by downgrading the firmware to 1.3.5 with no success. The I downgraded again in steps until 1.1.9 where I lost all feed and no success.
In the end what solved the issue was the request for firmware update in the private message! Was really fast and now i get consistent motion detection in scrypted.

@TiFerr I ran into the exact same issues, where 1.3.5 did not resolve the problem, and I'm on 1.1.9 now, where I'm not able to get any feed at all. -- What exactly did you mean with the private message? Would you be able to help me as well, or point me in the right direction? Thanks!

[TiFerr]

@jeffreylanters this:

I logged in the forums then sent the private message and waited. A few hours later i had an update firmware message on the Tapo app. After the update Scrypted started with some “Snapshot failed” message but eventually (some reboots later) it got over it and resumed the feed and the motion alerts. They are a bit sluggish but they work.

[gnouts]

Updating to 1.3.9 solved this for me
