Make your TP-Link TAPO security camera compatible with Homekit through Homebridge / HOOBS.
The plugin exposes the camera RTSP video feed, 2 accessories to control "Privacy Mode" and "Alarm" and a motion detection accessory.
The accessory called "Eyes" controls the privacy mode; when it's on it means that the camera is able to see (this is to make sure we support the command "Hey Siri, turn on Camera", as this will disable privacy mode and enable alarm).
The accessory called "Alarm" switches on/off the alarm sound, but keep in mind that notifications will still be sent to the phone.
The motion detection is built on top of the ONVIF protocol and it is enabled by default; therefore you can set up automations and Homekit can send you notification when motion is detected.
You can install it via Homebridge UI or manually using:
npm -g install homebridge-tapo-camera
It is highly recommended that you use either Homebridge Config UI X or the HOOBS UI to install and configure this plugin.
Once done you will have unbridged accessories, therefore you need to manually add them in your Home app.
If you want to have manual control over the configuration, add the following configuration in the platforms
key:
{
// ...
platforms: [
// Other platforms
{
// Note, if you've upgraded the plugin and you have no more camera in the Home app, you need to change this to "tapo-camera" lowercase (before v1.6.2 it was "TAPO-CAMERA")
