C200 (V5.6)

Key dates

Release

June 2024 · estimate

How I calculated it: The first firmware TP-Link Germany's download page lists for the Tapo C200 V5 (EU) (1.0.5 Build 240327, published 2024-06-19, marked there as the first firmware release) is used as the launch month; TP-Link states Vx.0 = Vx.6/Vx.8, so V5 = V5.6. TP-Link's US V5.6 page lists the same build slightly earlier (2024-06-05), in the same month. The model may have gone on sale shortly before.
