I have been attempting to add this camera to Home Assistant through the Tapo Integration. I cannot get past the authentication challenge which always responds with this message:

Unable to authenticate: Device response did not match our challenge on ip xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, check that your e-mail and password (both case-sensitive) are correct.

These are the steps I have taken so far:

Confirm the email address and password are correct.

Remove the camera from the Tapo app and add it back.

Power the camera off (for several hours) and then power it back on.

Factory reset the camera.

Change my TP-Link password and try again with the new password.

The camera has a name and local password set, even though these are not asked for.

I have tried with and without a static IP address set on the camera.

The camera is connected to a dedicated IoT 2.4GHz LAN.

There is no problem streaming to VLC.

I am clearly missing something, hopefully someone who has gone through this procedure without error, will be able to tell me what it is.

Thank you.
