Hello,
I want to watch Tapo Doorbell D230S1 on Android TV. Different brands have this feature. I said it is available in Tapo, it is in big brands. But there isn't. I am really sad. Even if there is no application, can you share different solutions with us?

Hi，
I am afraid there is no APP for Android TV.
Since Tapo cameras support RTSP, maybe you could install some RTSP program to view the camera:

Hello everyone, regarding this feature request, we would like to understand what you specifically want to accomplish with the app on the TV. Please share your thoughts with us so that our product team can better understand this feature request and evaluate it.
- Watch Tapo camera.
- Control other Tapo smart devices. >> A question: why not use a phone or tablet? Personally, touch controls are likely much more convenient than using a TV remote.

@Wayne-TP Thanks for finally after these years picking this request! Personally made this request originally to be able to watch my Tapo cameras via Android TV app. I'm sure there are someone that would like to control sockets, but this original request was pure from watching my cams without hassle of 3rd party apps.

@Wayne-TP I want it to simply watch the tapo camera outputs on tv. A 4 x 4 grid like in the all with some recording features would be perfect. To make things easier, you could even consider adjusting the android app and porting it to android tv. Very eager to get this.

Hello, thank you for your interest.
When the TAPO doorbell rings, we can see who is at the door on the small screen at the bottom corner of the Android TV.
We can watch the past images on TV.
I am sure you can do this. I trust you.

Hello @Wayne-TP
Happy to hear that this is being worked on as a new member of the tp link fam.
1. It would be good to have the feed displayed on a bigger screen given that some use case for CCTV is for household caretaking too. There may be elderly household members that prefer to watch on bigger screens.
2. If the app on android smart TVs do proceed, it would be good to adopt the YouTube live player controls to help reduce the learning curve.
3. I similarly do not see the smart TV app to be a primary controller for the CCTV ecosystem, but rather a complementary feature. Though since most smart TVs are linked to e.g. Google home, there are smart controls that are linked to the mobile devices so the touch screen features are still available technically. But definitely, the main controls should be primarily under the master household member's mobile device.
Hope this feedback helps :)
