Not an integration issue.

Thank you for your feedback.

It seems to be related a Home Assistant Core issue : https://community.home-assistant.io/t/cffi-errors-after-updating-to-2026-7-1/1016507

I had the issue with Tapo Cameras Control too after upgrading to 2026.7.1. Downgrading to 2026.6.x didn't fix the problem.

I saw that there was also an update for the Operating System to 18.1 from 18.0 and from reading about package issues on the HA forum, I figured it might be related.

Upgrading the Operating System to 18.1 fixes it for me and I can now see my cameras again. I hope this helps others with the same problem.
