If using unsupported HA install method, python3.12 or python3.13 has to be used as that is what HA and this integration requires.

[Buggykiter]

I am using HA via official install method for 3 years now. Everything is running fine except TAPO cameras control. Where do I find which python version is used in my installation? In the logs it seems to be a syntax error ( f-string: unmatched '[').

[JurajNyiri]

From the logs provided:

File "/usr/local/lib/python3.11/importlib/init.py", line 126, in import_module

Python 3.11 has been dropped in April 2024.

https://www.home-assistant.io/blog/2024/04/03/release-20244/

I am using HA via official install method for 3 years now

"Python 3.11 support has previously been deprecated and has now been removed. Home Assistant now requires Python 3.12 to run.

You don’t have to do anything if you are using the Home Assistant Operating System, Home Assistant Container, or Home Assistant Supervised installation method. In those cases, we handle all of this for you. Your system has been using Python 3.12 for quite some time already."

Thank you for this info. I have checked my versions. The HA core was outdated (version 2024.1.3). After manual update to core 2024.12.3 the camera control error was gone. Thanks for your help !

[JurajNyiri]

Thank you, I have modified hacs info file to ensure it cannot be installed on outdated HA versions before April going forwards.
