You need to run both from what I understand.
The instructions for integrating Eufy cameras (and doorbell) are here: Eufy Security
The article mentions using the addon and integration, but I see 2 addons in the store.
I’m equally confused and came here (to the forums) after being entirely unable to parse WTF the install instructions mean.
I just figured it out. Note that I’m running HAOS through a virtual machine and I’ve already installed HACS.
The home assistant add on creates some sort of local server/proxy/whatever that talks to the Eufy cloud on one side and provides a local interface for homemade client things… like the HACS thing. The HACS thing is what acts like a client, by connecting to the local “proxy” (my own name for it), and in turn creating HA native devices+entities for all the Eufy things you own. I just did this for a smart safe (s12)
@bropat @anon63427907 FYI I can confirm at least the status items for the S12 smart safe are working. I haven’t yet figured out how to (or if I can) get the remote unlock to work. Happy to test anything you might want since I see S12 is listed as “untested” in your docs.
Add-on from my repository (GitHub - fuatakgun/eufy_security_addon) is archived and not updated anymore. As called out in README file on integration, you need to use this repository (GitHub - bropat/hassio-eufy-security-ws: Official eufy-security-ws Home Assistant add-on repository)
Not sure if smart safes are supposed to be unlock remotely. I would create an issue to bropat’s repository, share the device and get support. If any new service is needed on home assistant end, I can help.
@anon63427907 Thanks for the add-on. I’ve installed it to use with my Eufy dual camera wired doorbell. I understand that this camera does not have RTSP support. When I tried to stream it, most of the time it gave me a blank screen, and only occasionally that I can get the proper stream.
I actually only want to take a snapshot of the camera, but most of the time the photo came up mostly green, with just a few pixels on top of the image from the camera. Is that because my doorbell does not support RTSP?
Hi, I got my dual cam wired doorbell working with this automation …

I used these 2 add ons
Not sure if the doorbell restart is necessary but I was finding that it would work once and then get stuck. That seemed to fix that.
Are you downloading this image generated by eufy? I’m confused on that part. It looks like you’re downloading from nabu.casa.
