Questions regarding experimental support for Tapo C210

[nurtext]

Hi there,

I just found this repository and I’m looking into the experimental C210 profile tplink_tapo_c210_t23n_sc3336_rtl8188ftv in the master branch of this repo.

The profile seem to enable BR2_PACKAGE_THINGINO_MOTORS and BR2_PACKAGE_SPI_TMI8152. However, the included patch for installing tmi8152_spi_motor.ko explicitly states that it is provided as documentation only and must be applied manually. The changes seem not be present in the packaged files, is that correct?

Have the following features been tested with that exact image on this hardware variant?

• Motor homing and manual pan/tilt movement
• Position reporting and movement status via ONVIF
• FOV-relative ONVIF RelativeMove commands
• Frigate autotracking

My main goal is to determine whether the prebuilt image supports the ONVIF PTZ functionality required for Frigate autotracking before flashing the camera.

Cheers,
Cedric

I would expect it to not work fully out of the box, and require a little attention. Presumably based on being in the experimental section, none of us devs own this model so we rely on users to participate to get it fully supported.
