Using Home Assistant camera proxy it’s possible stream any cameras to Google Hub.

The camera used in this video are:

  • Old Foscam FI9828W

Foscam FI9828P - Mozilla Firefox

  • Old Foscam FI9816P

foscam vecchia

  • New Ezivz CTQ2C
    ezviz

In Home Assistant I wrote few script with a MQTT publish command, and this Scripts with Nabu Casa are scenes.

Home Assistant - Mozilla Firefox_3
Home Assistant - Mozilla Firefox_31382×383 49 KB

When call a Scene, start the Node-red flow for retrieve the access token of the requested camera, grab image, save it on a file and cast to Google Home. This process loop for 8 times, then close the Cast.

Hi Sandro!

A couple of interesting things in your approach!!

Could you share code/node-red flow?

Particularly interested on how did you get the url/token for the cameras and what H=Google HUB node did you use.

Thanks!

Hi Sandro,

I have the same case : old foscam’s with a Nest Hub to stream to.

It works, but could you share the code of the definition of your proxy camera ?

Thanks !
