Model: Tapo D230S1  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version: 1.3.0

In the Google Home app, I want to set up an automation that is triggered by the Tapo D230S1 doorbell. I want the Nest Hub display to show the live camera feed as soon as the doorbell is pressed. To do this, I followed the instructions from the feed: Tapo D230S1 and Google Home speakers.

However, when I try to set up the automation in the Google Home app, I only get as far as selecting an action from the doorbell. There are no options to select though; as soon as I tap the '+' sign, the selection menu rolls in and does not show any options. I have tried tapping and swiping it open with no success. 

(Unfortunately, I wasn't able to insert a screenshot, but I hope I have described everything correctly.)

You can do this by using a different action, give a voice command to Google instead, let it help you display the doorbell live feed on the displays when someone presses the doorbell.

Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately it does not work that way, because it's not possible to select the doorbell as a trigger in the first place. I tried to describe that in my post. However, since I was not allowed to add any screenshots, my description may not have been sufficient. I try it again here. As you may see, there are no actions to choose from.

What are the versions of your Google Home app and Tapo app? Could you confirm which regions your TP-Link and Google accounts are registered in? Are they from the same region?

Hello @Wayne-TP ,

Thank you so much for getting back on this topic.

Tapo app is version 3.15.112

Google Home app is version 4.3.56.2

However, I do not know how to see the registered region of the accounts. I assume it's Germany for both but I have no idea how to verify that. Maybe you could give me a clue, where in the apps I could see that?

Just discovered something, it looks like the new Google Home app changed something. But you should set up the automation successfully in this way:

1. Create a new automation in the Google Home app.
2. On the automation setup page, tap the three-dot menu in the top-right corner and select “Previous household editor.” Then, you can create a rule triggered by the doorbell normally.

Thank you for getting back to me with this  @Wayne-TP .

It took me a while to answer after I tried to set up the Nest Hub in the way you proposed.

I created a new automation "Haustürkamera zeigen" [Show door camera]. The Trigger [Auslöser] is set to the doorbell ringing. The action I have set up is the command "Show door camera" [Zeige die Kamera von der Haustür]. This command is the very same that I use when I talk to the nesthub. The automation is set to play on the nest hub.

However, the automation is not working. When I play the automation from the phone, the display lights up for a quick glimpse, and that's it. When the doorbell rings nothing happens either.

For a better understanding a recorded both, the working voice control and the not working automation.

I hope there is a solution. Because obviously the communication between the tapo door bell works but the automation does not. So maybe I am just missing something.
