C200 Alexa Integration
Hello.
I've just upgraded my V1 C200 cameras to firmware 1.3.5, and also my V3 C200 cameras to firmware 1.3.3.
(There doesn't seem to be an equivalent firmware update for the V2 C200 cameras yet)
Following these firmware updates, I have been trying to understand the integration of these cameras with the Android Alexa app.
I've found that it's now possible to create Alexa Routines which allow the V1 and V3 cameras to be "switched on" (but, strangely, not "switched off").
In the context of these C200 cameras, I am puzzled what "switch on" means.
My first guess was that it would allow for an Alexa Routine which would DISABLE the cameras "privacy mode" - but if that's the intention, it doesn't work.
(I have created similar Alexa Routines which successfully switch on and switch off my Tapo P100 sockets, so at least that works!)
The Android Alexa app also allows for "Motion Announcements" (via the Alexa Camera Device Settings page) for V1 and V3 C200 cameras, but this also doesn't work. No notification is sent to my Alexa devices when a motion detection event occurs.
Could the Tapo Support Team explain how the C200 Smart integration is supposed to work with the Android Alexa app, please?
(Currently it seems to be completely broken)
Thanks.
