Eufy Camera Integration

Feature Requests
436

You can do this however ths stream stops after 3 min or so. you can the camera stop and camera start service to fire up the stream. you can see the screen in lovelace

the integration does not support this :(. You can use a RF radio to intercept the ping on 443mhz if you have the eufy doorbell that transmits, or you can use alexa to trigger an automation.

Much the same as above you cannot trigger an automation from the doorbell without intercepting the ping on 443mhz or working with alexa.

Forgot to mention, i dont have alexa, i only have google.
Getting the doorbell press is the key to all i want.
I thought this could be done with google , but i cant find it.

Truly pity
Not even with mqtt or the rest way?

So my only luck is the 443mhz IF its being used?
How do i get this to work?
Will my hamony hub capture this? How do i do it?

I’m not sure if my doorbell is the right version that will have the 433 signal… i bought it from coolblue

Edit: if harmony doesnt work, is this what i need then? https://www.bol.com/nl/p/sonoff-rf-bridge-werkt-met-google-assistant-ifttt-alexa/9200000116874595/?country=BE&Referrer=ADVNLGOO002063-G-57809360815-S-483420068842-9200000116874595&gclid=Cj0KCQiAoab_BRCxARIsANMx4S6FJE0uXvif4-90--DnS98xNwytZHlnnggrIwbhZGwudvX6FnXA61AaAk6HEALw_wcB

Will that work to get doorbell press in HA? with the doorbell from coolblue?

Or this one?

I dunno, how do u capture it then?
Doest it respond very fast?
I am able to capture then and post audio and video to hubs?

And furthermore, does the bridge need to be soldered and put on new firmware too?
Its not plug n play?

This is the same one ? https://nl.banggood.com/SONOFF-RF-Bridge-WIFI-433-MHz-Replacement-Smart-Home-Automation-Universal-Switch-p-1179900.html?utm_source=googleshopping&utm_medium=cpc_organic&gmcCountry=BE&utm_content=minha&utm_campaign=minha-beg-nl-pc&currency=EUR&cur_warehouse=CN&createTmp=1&utm_source=googleshopping&utm_medium=cpc_bgs&utm_content=xibei&utm_campaign=xibei-ssc-beg-nl-all-0910-13anv&gclid=Cj0KCQiAoab_BRCxARIsANMx4S7oMsuag1UYSWVH8pW8knKrYJIknygah1T_5GyEZ2OsGmIx2_QqmiQaAhjQEALw_wcB

Edit: The iobroker speaks of event ringing doorbell too, so that might be possible too ? https://github.com/bropat/ioBroker.eufy-security

fix worked. Tanx

I tried to consume the last_event_pic but was not able to create something useful of it. the last_event_pic_html is way to long to be stored in a entity state as they are limited by 255 chars.

This is possible by using the ioBroker webview. So for me I have a camera entity like this:

  - platform: generic
    name: Eufy Camera Image
    still_image_url: http://IP_ADDRESS:8082/eufy-security.0/T8200XXXXXXXXXX.jpg

Pulls the still into HASS.

Also thanks for the rest sensor tip, I just set up mine and it’s working very well. Though Iobroker doesn’t seem to be picking up motion/doorbell ringing events.

440

@dad-cmyk @JamesCaudle is there a way to automatically refresh the lovelace page to view the stream in a lovelace card?

441

Here, I wrote up a guide for how to get ioBroker working (thanks to @MaxW for the Restful API tip, works great!)

Couldn’t you use Portainer in HassOS to add another docker image to load? Just curious if anyone has gone down this route verses setting up another VM or RPi.

443

Thanks, the guide is very helpfull.
I have two problems:

  • I often get the Unknown state (raw -{{value}}-) state of the rest sensor, anybody fixed that?
  • The switch only works one-way, can’t set it to Home
444

I’m in the same boat.
Running HASS OS here on pi 4, so i cant install iobroker…
Or i would have to turn on a second machine running 24/24 7/7
Also strange the doorbell presses isnt working … as @MaxW says its included…

445

Should the really be the way? iobroker as a “competitor” to HA to be installed in parallel to HA to be able to use this single integration instead of having the same features in the HA adapter as the ioBrober adapter has?

I decided to go with HA instead of ioBrober and now I have to install this in parallel because of eufy security? Would strongly suggest having a generic “io adapter wrapper” or to improve the HA adapter instead.

I agree, but if thats the only way…

447

I don’t think anyone would like the idea of ​​running ioBroker next to HA to integrate a simple doorbell.

Given the traffic in this forum and the questions elsewhere, I think we should especially stalk [email protected] with the request to do a decent job of an HA integration or at least provide a documented and open API.

In the meantime, thanks for all the work to look for a solution.

@nonsleepr Is your adapter still in progress/maintained or a dead end? Esp. if you crosscheck the features already in iobroker adapter. Apriciate the current state :slight_smile: , but of course, if you look in this thread, it would be more than great to … :wink:

449

Yes I guess you could do that. I don’t run HassOS so I didn’t think of that.

That’s obvious a preferable solution, but doing so is well beyond my skills.

450

Willing to try and give us feedback?

451

I use https://github.com/thomasloven/hass-browser_mod in a script to reload the Lovelace interface after a short delay whenever I turn to camera on.

I tried the AddOn way, but got stuck at some point.

Had some huge graphic issues and the mounting gave me a headache.
The graphic stuff could be resolved by using a real nginx reverse proxy instead just pointing the ingress towards iobroker i guess, but the mounting was bad.
Afaik there is no option to either set the default iorbroker path away from /opt/iobroker/ nor change the mounting point at hassio side. Therefore configs would not be persistent through updates or anything else, which was a bummer and not really production like.

Starting ioBroker through portainer should work I guess.

453

isn’t @fuzzymistborn the brain behind the python communication part?

454

Not really. I mostly created the repo because nobody else had and I wanted to try to learn reverse engineering an API. But it quickly grew beyond my meager skills (P2P stuff, mqtt, etc) so I left it up after some other folks (bachya and nosleepr) did some awesome work to improve it.

Came to this thought because of GitHub - ioBroker/ioBroker.ham: Supports homebridge plugins in ioBroker where you can use all homebridge plugins as iobroker adapters. Such wrapper to be able to use all iobroker adapters within ha would be the cherry on the cake. :wink:
