  @ClaudioLR yeah it's clear that the label on the box is false advertising.  I think I'll just charge back my C216 purchase with my credit card at this point, promised but not working for 6 months is class action territory

It's sad really, cause you get the sense they don't give a rats ass about its customers. Maybe they just care about the apple ecosystem, who knows. A three dollar camera from Aliexpress about the size of my pinky works flawlessly with Google home, albeit the picture quality isn't as good as tapo, but hell, at least it works. Tapo just hasn't felt it in their pockets yet so why put in the work to fix it just for some customers that make little difference to them? Money's all that matters to these companies at the end of the day.

It still works with the older version of Google Home app (version 3.20.1.8). Probably Google changed something in the API for the newer versions and it stopped working. Tapo is waiting Google to fix it but I think they should comply with this change. Google won't do it for them.

  @Revolver No worries, that’s a super old version. I’m on 4.3.56, and I think the one you mentioned is almost a year old by now. Anyway, thanks for the info! I’m sure it’s exactly as you described. But I have to ask: is it possible that in all these months TAPO hasn't pushed Google to fix this or taken any initiative? Because at this rate, I think it's safe to say they’re never going to fix it
