A personal account of integrating a TP-Link Tapo L530 smart bulb into Home Assistant. The root cause was a Tapo firmware update that blocks third-party local access by default. The fix involved two steps: updating the Home Assistant server to the latest version, and enabling the 'Third-Party Compatibility' toggle in the Tapo mobile app. After that, adding the bulb via its IP address and Tapo credentials worked without errors.
