Hello everyone,
I am looking for a solution to a “small problem” with HA and the Aqara G3 HUB (camera)
But I may also be looking for an alternative.
To explain:
I am currently using Unifi cameras with the Unifi Protect APP (outdoor cameras)
In addition, I have 2 Aquara G3 Hubs (cameras)
I use HA to control the Unifi cameras (e.g. when I leave the house = arm alarm = set cameras to record, etc.).
This works perfectly!
Now to my problem:
With the Aqara Hub G3, I have not yet found a way to implement this as well.
I have already created the automations in the Aqara app (alarm on = wake up camera and position front center, alarm off = first turn camera 180 degrees (against the wall) and then deactivate)
Unfortunately, I don’t know how I can access these automations (stored in the Aqara app) or how I can map them directly in HA.
I don’t need the camera stream, I would look at it in the Aqara app if necessary, only the switching should be realized by the triggers in HA.
If this doesn’t work…
Which indoor wifi camera supports pan-tilt, looks decent enough to be placed on a shelf, and is possibly Onvif compatible (Unifi Protect now supports Onvif cameras from third-party providers, so this would actually be the best solution)?
I would like to activate automatic switching on by an event in HA
I would like to be able to turn the camera (against the wall)
I would like to be able to activate/deactivate the camera
Is this also possible with the Ring Indoor Camera 2gen (manually covering the camera with the integrated privacy filter)
or, better yet, the Ring Pan Tilt Indoor Camera?
Recording is NOT required!
Which camera would you recommend that is as compatible as possible with HA and can possibly also be integrated under Unifi Protect.
Thanks in advance
Andreas
