Eufy Camera Integration

I’m not clear on your comparison of “HASS Add-on” and “custom integration” – let me lay out all of the pieces:

  • eufy-security-client: @bropat’s amazing library to communicate with the Eufy Security unofficial API
  • eufy-security-ws: the two-way websocket that allows non-JS/TS clients to interact with eufy-security-client
  • eufy-security-ws-python: the Python library that manages data to/from eufy-security-ws in a generic manner
  • HASS Integration (TBD): the Home Assistant integration that will utilize eufy-security-ws-python and allow the user to “do things” with Eufy Security
  • HASS Add-On (TBD): a Home Assistant OS add-on that allows for easy installation of eufy-security-ws

This approach will allow users of Home Assistant Core/Container and users of Home Assistant OS to run this integration:

  1. Home Assistant Core/Container users will need to run their own instance of eufy-security-ws (easily done, since the project already provides a Docker image).
  2. Home Assistant OS users can install the HASS add-on in order to achieve the same thing.

Note that this is the same policy the Z-Wave JS integration employs: it gives an OS method and a Core/Container method.

Here is my current “roadmap”:

  • Finish tests for eufy-security-ws-python (not too far off; want to complete this so its behind me before anything else)
  • Write a base Home Assistant integration:
    • UI Configuration
    • Two-way communication with eufy-security-ws
    • A basic piece of functionality to start (I’m thinking a sensor that shows the current mode and a service to change the mode)
    • Localization
  • Get up to speed on writing HASS OS add-ons
  • Write v1 of the HASS OS add-on
  • Publish official PRs for everything
