Description

Hi -- I just added my 3rd Tapo to this integration! It's a C720. Following the instructions to isolate the network from the public internet worked in adding the integration. The only thing I don't see is a switch to enable the spotlight. I see a previous thread that it sems to work.

Reproduction Steps

Go to the control setting, and see there is no switch for the spotlight as there is on the other tapo camera I have.

Expected behavior

Be able to turn the spotlight on/off

If applicable, add error logs.

There is ongoing work on #715 which is also for C720. New methods have been discovered that will solve this issue.

The reason why even the timed one doesnt show up is possibly a firmware difference, they probably removed that method in your new firmware.

Closing this as a duplicate, please continue discussion there.

hey when i setup my c720 initially the switch for the light was not there.
i then turned the light on via tapo, and then did a reload on the integration, and the switch appeared.

or something like that.

can you check if it appears?

That’s actually a great idea. I will work on that to add it as a dimmer natively. Would you mind opening a feature request for that?

Just click on the light entity there is a brightness slider inside it. Not the timed one but the normal one.
