Cameras - google home / assistant integration not working - FIX BEING ROLLED OUT, SEE UPDATE.
Hi - New Tapo customer here. I just bought a few Tapo outdoor cameras. Specifically the C520WS. Great product, but it does not have proper live feed integration in google home app. Nor can you use Google home to setup automations. This integration exists for other tplink (kasa) product lines.
I'm already using google home app to preview my doorbell (nest) and other cameras (wyze and ring), and I would like my tapo ones in there too. In the Google home app it says "live view stream can't be viewed here".
I purchased these because it was advertised as google assistant integrated. It isn't. The only integration that Tapo has is by saying "okay google show camera on Chromecast". This is not a full integration. We need to be able to view stream and set automations through google home.
Does anyone know if this feature is being developed? Its pretty critical to my smart home setup.
Thank you.

@Bierten It works perfectly atleast with nesthub 
Ohh and by the way again it stopped working from GH app. This might be some GH upcoming feature which is not yet final.

Can add C225 cameras to Google Home, but clicking on them just brings up the above message. 😞

@DSpect Even with Public View on, you cannot view the playback on the TAPO cameras through the Google Home app -- you can only look at the live view. Echoing everyone else: this is utterly dissapointing.

I'm facing the same issue. Using the C212 reason being it has the 'Work with Google Home' how disappointing. Does anyone have any solution to this?

@DSpect My tapo C520WS camera started working from today after an update. However no controls or automations possible only the live feed is viewable.
Probably future updates will also gove camera controls.

@DSpect I bought one for this exact reason, to this date they are still being sold as "Works with Google Home" but do not, will be returning mine also after wasting too much time trying to configure.
