Question, I get the same still image when my doorbell rings. I never get the actual image att. It just stays/says idle. Is there anyway to get the actual image of the person ringing the doorbell.

Update*
I restarted the rtsp and it started streaming but later it went back idle. I looked at the logs and I found this:
anyway to get it back?
Update
I figured out the live stream as it was P2P for the live stream.
Is there a way to use the “person name” as a condition if it is a person i have set to be known. so it wont notify me if it is my kids as example

As said. I can live with everything and appreciate all your effort.
But I didn’t read such latest stream/snapshot that often in the past (on this thread since the beginning) and wonder, if it wouldn’t be a better idea to introduce a new picture entity of latest stream/snapshot and leave the camera as is (latest event). => No breaking change and it would work like everyone is used to have it in the eufy app as well.

You are right from your own experience but people without correctly functioning event notifications, they used to rely on camera based snapshot capturing which was removed earlier hoping that event notifications would work for all finally.
Again, let’s hear different voices and happy to introduce further changes
I just tested with Frigate. It “works”. However, the generated clip does not start at the moment the motion is actually starting, something that Synology Surveillance Station does. Frigate is not capturing the first 7-8" of the stream, something that makes this option useless. Perhaps Frigate monitors RTSP streams recovery every n seconds. Any advise, please? Have you tried this with Eufy battery cameras as well, which are not RTSP’ing until motion is detected? Any frigate.yml parameter I could missing for the magic to happen?
I would be happy to just stick to the Synology workflow. However, a problem I have with that is that folder_watcher is not triggering upon files creation, unless the files are being created in the HASS side of the remote folder. I am asking about this specific topic here.
This has broken my automations, phone notifications and dashboard as you had suggested. Speaking of which: GitHub - fuatakgun/eufy_security: Home Assistant integration to manage Eufy Security devices as cameras, home base stations, doorbells, motion and contact sensors. ← this example conditional card probably needs updating.
For the time being I am still using v6.3.3 before the breaking changes as it seems there may still be some changes ahead. To me, unless these changes are solving a problem for a majority, I would leave frequent image updates occurring on the camera entity and have those others looking for different functionality to use the new image entity.
I’m indifferent in which entity I can see the last streamed picture/ snapshot taken, I can easily adjust my Node-RED flows and dashboards.
For me this split is ideal, as the notification picture of my two 2C cams is not reliable (same as with @sesardelaisla), despite having working notifications from the cams. I use the person/ motion detected for my Node-RED flows, and they work flawlessly.
Can you explain this? Here (many 2Cs as well) the picture shown in the integration and camera entity was always and 100% the one the eufy app has shown as well, when I open it. That means the picture from the last event. And now this is not the case anymore and somehow confusing.

I own 4 pieces of 2c cameras attached to home base 2, one piece of pan/tilt and one piece of s100 wall light.
Wall light and pan/tilt are working very well with notification based images.
One or two of 2c cameras are not updating the image inside home assistant as they do in eufy app, so I needed stream based snapshots to get something out of it.
I couldn’t found out how to use the new image entity picture in a picture elements card… I was using this before the image entity:
show_state: true
show_name: true
camera_view: auto
type: picture-entity
entity: camera.on_kapi
tap_action:
action: call-service
service: camera.turn_on
data: {}
target:
entity_id: camera.on_kapi
camera_image: camera.on_kapi
When i change the entity to this, it still doesn’t show the image entity:
entity: image.on_kapi_event_image
Finally, I managed to get a reliable workflow with Synology. Instead of mounting the NAS folder in HASS, I setup the remote HASS folder in Synology Surveillance Station as the main storage for every camera. For whatever reason I still don’t understand, the first option is not detected by the automation trigger. It works for the purpose, although it would be great to have the possibility to fetch the motion detected videos from eufy addon/integration instead. I wish developers can do this in a near future. I actually asked this in Github, as mentioned in an eariler post here, to see whether I get some feedback when able. I did it in Bropat’s addon Github, as I think that such request is related with the addon, not with the integration.
Going back to the stream capture topic, I am interested in knowing whether someone else has managed to get a motion detected clip which starts at the same time that the actual eufy clip starts in their mobile application (or almost at least). I have tried capturing with the addon/integration RTSP stream start service, MotionEye and Frigate. According to my tests, none of them are able to create a usable clip which contains the first seconds of motion detection.
Apart from this, suddenly, the new image entity seems to be updated correctly. Not sure why it didn’t after updating. Perhaps some sort of cache issue…
Hello Community, i am trying to install the Integration.
I installed RTSP Simple Server Add-on and wanted the install the eufy Security Integration. I then get asked for a ip and port. 127.0.0.1 is set. I tried leaving the default but it says “IP and Port is wrong”. I Then tried putting in the Homeassistant IP. That was wrong aswell. The IP of the Homebase 2 was wrong as well… What IP does thie Integration want? Whats my Web Socket instance?
Thanks in advance!
Edit:// I found out that i have to put in the IP of my HA and the Port that i setup in RTSP Simple Server Add-On, or? I did that, but it still didnt work. In the Logs of RTSP Simple Server i receive a:
2023/08/07 16:13:14 I [0/0] [RTSP] [conn 192.168.178.91:49370] opened

On the readme, you will find a detailed diagram, it should give you some direction
Hi, i am following the readme instructions. But im stuck here. The Log file of the RTSP says:

I tried all ports 8554, 1935, 8888
When installing RTSP it sayed something is already using Port 8554. So i changed the port to 8558. But that port isnt working either
Ok…i totally over read #1 
eufy-security-ws
Today I updated my whole Home Assistant setup (updated the os and all the add-ons) but after that the eufy integration stopped working…
I used the new repo for the eufy security ws add on (and deleted the old version)
The new one seems to connect fine:
But when I want to re-install the Eufy Security integration its stuck on ‘initializing’ . I dont get any captcha either…
UPDATE:
I also got a notification:
What did i do wrong?
I’ve got the same issue too but on top of that my 3 x T8131’s I can’t control from within HA anymore. The switch button I can click but after 3 seconds it clicks back off. My 2 x 8410’s, 8124 and T8400 are all fine.
Also is there a timeframe for when the T8134 is likely to be fully supported?
Hi @anon63427907 I noticed that there is now an event image entity added to the integration. In my case the doorbell image for my Eufy wired dual doorbell is grey. However the event image is showing coorectly. Is it possible to get a URL from the event image so that I can use it on my Sharptools dashboard?
thanks
Switch camera_proxy with image_proxy and it works magically, i need to update the readme accordingly.
Check camera_proxy rest api here: REST API | Home Assistant Developer Docs
