Implemented 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.

I also use Tapo C200 cameras and thought it had Google Home integration to watch the feed through my watch etc. It may not legally be false advertising, but you know the average customer (including me) doesn't understand what Google Home certification means and whether not passing it means we can view the feed through the app -- but we assume it does. I like the Tapo product but will probably be switching to another service that actually has this feature, too bad.

@Solla-topee I agree with the others. I just installed the D230 doorbell. The fact that it requires a hub and is not yet fully integrated with Google feels like false advertising. While it may be legal, it seems deceptive and only produces distrust among your customers. Every other product I've purchased from TP-Link has been great. This is disappointing.
