Hello everyone, I am trying to integrate a TP-Link Tapo C260 camera into Homey Pro Mini using the official Tapo app. Current situation: - I can successfully log into my Tapo account from Homey. - The camera works correctly in the Tapo app. - ONVIF is enabled on the camera. - RTSP/ONVIF stream works perfectly in VLC from my PC. - Camera and Homey are on the same local network. However, when I try to add the camera in Homey through the Tapo app, Homey does not detect/find the camera at all. I already tried: - rebooting Homey - rebooting the camera - removing and re-adding the Tapo account - verifying ONVIF and RTSP functionality Is the Tapo C260 officially supported by the Homey Tapo app? Has anyone managed to get this specific model working correctly? I am also wondering if the issue could be related to: - unsupported/new model - API compatibility - cloud discovery limitations - local network discovery issues Any help or confirmation would be appreciated. Thanks! ---

Are the camera and Homey on the same network? This is required for the cameras ---

Instead of using the Tapo App use the ONVIF camera App. It works great with Tapo cameras. ---

I have this same issue , that it worked on hp2023 but not self hosted docker in unraid, from what I can find it has to do with the docker using macvlan and needs to be changed to ipvlan, but when I change it to ipvlanthe docker looses all connections ☹ And I’m not sure how since everything i did and AI said to do didn’t work
