Could it be that the version entry is missing from the manifest.json for the EufySecurity addon?
This is mandatory now for HA.
It should look something like this:
"version": "1.0.5"
If it is missing you can just copy&paste the example to the file, save it and restart HA
None of the current installs are through HACS to the best of my knowledge. Which solution are you trying to install? Eufy 2 MQTT bridge is a supervisor addon.
It also requires you to setup a node server to communicate with eufy devices. I have captured these steps in README file. With this integration, you can turn on/turn off your cameras and start playing stream inside home assistant.
@Ed-O Is this a live Snapshot or a picture of the “last event”. I have yet to find an integration or service that can pull a live snapshot from a Eufy Doorbell without using the last event snapshot recorded by Eufy which is usually delayed so long that it doesn’t serve purpose. I’ve been messing with this for a week and have essentially given up.
Yes. It uses the picture form last_event url off the HA box.
It works on my box and TV.
I did have it triggered by ‘person detect’ first for testing and that was not fast enough - it normally showed someone who rang the doorbell about an hour ago
When I moved to the trigger ‘bell rung’ it got the image of the person walking up and works fine.
On my settings-
Under ‘streaming to smart displays’, I have ‘smartphone first’ selected.
Under ‘notifications’, I have ‘include thumbnail’ selected.
My bell (a 2K battery/charge one) is on Wifi. The chime unit is wired into ethernet. The HA box is ethernet too.
Hope something there helps.
you can initiate live stream when you receive an event as rang the doorbell and try to cast the video on your TV, not sure if it supports. This should enable/disable livestream: Eufy Security Integration
Just set this up today (although I hard-coded the message and picture into the rest command on the yaml file as I couldn’t get your method working), works a charm so far - exactly what I’ve been looking for!
Doorbell press now triggers that notification and also pauses whatever’s playing on my Shield or LG TV.
Thank you!!
How do you trigger a camera capture when the trigger (binary_sensor) for motion/person detection fires? The picture I’m getting from last_event is usually from an older event.
@bachya since this topic is exploding, can we somewhere follow your progress on all this? separate?
I’m waiting for yours before doing anything with eufy
With the Outdoor cameras and a base station there is an automations tab when you can make one camera or motion sensor trigger another camera to start recording. They show up as linked events in the Eufy app. Is there any method at the moment to do a remote trigger with Home Assistant? If there isn’t a way of doing this can one start a live stream and record that to storage somehow?
Yes, you can initiate it using integration. Your camera will start streaming over RTSP and you can use home assistant functionality to record it in your server.
Just an FYI: I had a close family member share a scary diagnosis over the weekend; there will be days where working on this (as my day job allows) is a welcome relief, but other days, I’m not sure how much I’ll be able to focus. Appreciate everyone’s patience.
