Now the doorbell works again, i’m trying to make something like this:

There are a couple of caviats here: p

  • im not sure about the url for the picture if it works
  • im not sure of the uri for the eufy app?

There is still something wrong in my code

Quick question, when using the service “generate image” - what happens behind the scenes? Does this activate streaming or is it required to first activate streaming and then trigger the “generate image” service? And secondly, is the image stored anywhere or is this “simply” updating the static image of the camera entity?

Also - is there a way to force update the Event Image? According to bropat’s scheme this should be possible (unless I misunderstood)

2082

An example exists on readme

2083

When streaming is happening, generate image saves a capture of the ongoing stream and store it as camera thumbnail.

This normally happens every 10 seconds when it is streaming but if you want to use the latest one from streaming for your notifications, you should first generate it to let home assistant store the latest one and use it on notification.

There is no way to force cameras to get a fresh image without an event, share with me what you found

2084

Superb thx! Gonna look and do some testing !

2085

Thanks - indeed not possible to force an event, but should be possible to force update the integration to show the last event.

At the moment the Event Image never updates unless the add on is restarted - even an update of the integration doesn’t trigger this - conversely, when the integration is updated the Snapshot of the camera entity reverts back to the image of the “event image”

In my case, last image on doorbell is dated 29 December 3pm; this is not in line with the eufy app. The moment I restart the add-on the image is updated to the last event image in the eufy app. This suggests that the functionality is included in the addon but not invoked by the integration - same discussion on GitHub - I cannot find this last event image sensor you refer to.

Perhaps my automations are useful. First takes a snapshot in case of person motion event or doorbell press and saves to JPEG.

Second triggers notification, both on the Google speakers (home office, time bound) and on the phone - I hope that the person motion picks it up timely for the picture to be refreshed by the time the doorbell is pressed. Ca 75% of time this works…

I would enable debug on add-on and integration and share findings. Integration is actively listening changes coming from add-on and presenting them in home assistant.

Your image might be in a different format than integration is expecting or add-on might be failing to pass it to integration.

2088

Yes, will do that. Do you know how to log the add on for an extended period of time and get access to the full log? For some reason i can only see what’s on screen (which is not much).

Looking at the amount of people who indicate/refer to this there are ample with the same issue I think.

2089

If you have portainer, you can access any container logs from the ui.

If not, you need to access system logs to read them all.

Not sure, if supervisor allows you to access container (add-on) logs without a limitation.

On a different note, curious to hear if anyone else experiences the same. I use the poster feature in web-rtc to generate the still image. However when for some reason the camera entity does not contain a valid picture (and this happens a few times per day) It throws up a rather nasty error ultimately resulting in a login fail in turn culminating in a ban.

Anyone else experiencing the same? Wonder if it’s my reverse proxy or webrtc causing this.

Not facing this issue

Hi @anon63427907

Since the config flow doesn’t work with the 8.0 version, is there a way to set the set the ‘overide names’ of the custom alarm names via a config file or so?

Thanks,
Rien

OK, I was able to reinstall everything following this and I have working video now! But, a couple issues. First is both previews have an error in the upper left (blocking the play and stop buttons) “Can’t get URL for camera.xxx”. Second is that the poster image is odd. For my garage floodlight camera, it’s an event image from a couple days ago, which I guess is somewhat valid as it’s the last “event”. For my doorbell camera though, it’s an image from a year ago! Same image I was getting on the default dashboard before. I’ve obviously had lots of events since then.

Not sure if it matters, but when I go to the WebRTC dashboard on :1984, I can now see the cameras, but none of the streams will play. Odd since they play within HA.

To remove the error message (still there but no longer visible) you can use:

style:
  - '.header {display: none}'

The other issue… that is exactly my issue aswell, see earlier post:

I also can’t get it to update other than through a restart of the addon. No clue what is driving this. Still trying to debug. A lot of people seem to have this issue but apparently it does work for fuatakgun. He uses a normal docker container as opposed to a ha addon. Who knows… maybe that is the differentiating factor.

2095

As for the streams, you can not initiate from webrtc. Once activated from ha you can access them through the webrtc portal as well

2096

Interestingly, my garage camera is actually faster in HA than the Eufy app! Both when viewing on my desktop and my phone (verified in split screen view). And more clear! So that’s really nice. Doesn’t seem like audio works on either stream though. Also on desktop I can’t maximize the video to full screen. It just flickers then goes back to normal. Works on mobile though.

2097

Thanks, that style fix worked. For the other issue, I’m also running Eufy Security through a docker container and not addon, so don’t think that’s it! And restarting doesn’t help since I’m stuck with a year old image! Seems like there should be a way to periodically grab an image from the stream in the background to use.

Edit: I re-read your earlier post, and noticed you said restart of the add-on (or in my case eufy security docker) re-loaded the image. And indeed that did work to at least get an image that isn’t a year old! I assume next time I restart HA it will go back to the year old one though.

2098

Ah yeah, that does work. And full screen in desktop works there too.

2099

The camera image will now revert back to the image you have since the most current docker restart. Event image will likely stay as is.

For some reason the push doesn’t work for the image refresh. For a long time we had the same for battery percentage, it only changed on a reload but now it’s working as intended; convinced this can be fixed but my coding is not good at all so will instead debug. Perhaps you can also set debug on and observe what happens when the doorbell is triggered?
