Greetings!
I am having some trouble with steps 4 of @psychicmind 's instructions. The issue is that when I go to add the doorbell in home assistant, I get the message No unpaired devices could be found when trying to pair. Is this a common issue? I made sure that the device was removed from apple home app and I can ping the IP address of the doorbell from within my docker container. Is there anything I can be missing?
Edit: Finally got it paired. It was a matter of messing around with my firewall on my server
I got it working using the instructions from @dokicro and @psychicmind.
Microphone is not working in HA but I donât need that. Recording in Apple Home I donât know since I donât use it. It is working for all my use cases.
Sorry for the late reply. The thing I did that got it to work was I opened port 5353 on my server which, from apples documentation, appears to be the correct port for home
If itâs necessary for you. I found a way how to use HKSV and have also the functionality in HA.
I integrate it in the way that psychicmind describes above (thanks a lot) , up to step 6. So I donât bring the camera back to HomeKit.
Then I took the RTSP stream from go2rtc and ad a camera to Scrypted. Like this:
rtsp://homeassistant.local:8554/camera_name
There you have the possibility to use it with an HomeKit plugin. ( important: add âstandalone accessory modeâ in the plugin)
A QR Code will be generate and with that you bring it back to HomeKit. Add the camera not the Scrypted bridge
Back in HomeKit youâve the complete HKSV functionality.
When doesnât work a the first time, delete the camera in HomeKit and have a second try. In this case you have to reset the pairing in Scrypted. I donât know why, but for me it took three tryâs until it worked. But now everything is fine.
