In Home Assistant MotionEye has been added as an Add On and the service started. I have also added it to the sidebar.
From the Home Assistant sidebar for Motioneye, I can connect to my remote camera and see it just fine.
However, I can’t seem to find out how to add it to the HomeAssistant Overview window.
Part of the problem may be that when I go to the Home Assistant - Settings - Devices and Services window I see MotionEye as discovered but not configured. However, when I click on the ‘Configure’ button, I see where I should be able to tell it my admin and surveillance user ids and passwords; but whatever I type there the system will not accept.
For example, if I type
admin userid: unadmin
admin password: test
surveillance userid: unsurveillance
surveillance password: test2
I get “Invalid authentication”.
I have also tried just entering
admin userid: admin
admin password: (left blank)
surveillance userid: surveillance
surveillance password: (left blank)
and a bunch of other combinations - but none work.
I had start Motion Eye via the sidebar, then sign in as the administrator, then set an administrator and surveillance user id and password. Following this I was able to set the administrator and surveillance user id and password on the Home Assistant - Settings - Devices and Services window using the same userids and passwords that I had just created.
I still haven’t figured out how to get the streaming video on the overview.
