Google Home App Live Feed Integration (SDM API Support)
Dear Tapo Support Team,
I’ve been using Tapo cameras and appreciate the reliability and video quality. However, I’ve noticed a limitation with Google Home integration.
While my Tapo camera appears in the Google Home app and streams correctly on my Nest Hub or Google smart display, the live video feed does not appear in the Google Home mobile app. It shows a message stating that the live feed cannot be viewed.
This is a common limitation for third-party camera integrations that don’t fully utilize Google’s Smart Device Management (SDM) API. I would like to request that Tapo considers supporting this API to provide full integration, including:
- Live feed viewing in the Google Home app on mobile
- Event-based notifications and snapshots in Google Home
- Compatibility with Google Home routines and automation triggers
This would greatly improve the user experience and make Tapo a more seamless choice for users who rely on Google’s smart home ecosystem.
Please let me know if this feature is planned or under consideration. I’m happy to provide further feedback if needed.
Thank you for your support and ongoing product improvements.
Best regards,
Saurabj
