H there
Iām a newbee and really struggled. I referred to this thread which really help me out. I now how Eufy securitty up and running. (I am running a supervised version.)
Hi there
My eufy is always Stuck in Preparation mode. But i saw, that in the integration I donāt have the option with the RTSP stream port. But i have the addon and the WebRTC installed (working aswell with other cameras not from eufy). Does anyone know what could the problem be?
Has anyone solved the problem that it canāt tell a persons name? The entity Person name is always āUnknownā, regardless if the Eufy app/HB3 knows the name or not.
Iāve tried different approaches, as switching my notifications to āmost efficientā, and the video resolution to 720p. Nothing helps. Please help.
Iāve never been able to figure this out, maybe canāt be done. Iāve switched to a combination of frigate+double take and compreface and Iām getting better facial recognition without home base at all.
Anyone have a proper solution to integrate in dashboard and which is actually working, when you click on it, you stream and see live video?
Also would love to see a solution that shows still image and as soon as somebody presses doorbell, the still image is automatically streaming
And third, propbably most difficult one, the same as second question but on google home devices with screen
Who succeeds in these or should i get rid of eufy?
Ditch it,
We are both after these features for the past 2 years. Probably spend too much time on it already. Lets face it, eufy is pretty limited.
My setup now enables real time streaming on the ha dashboard when i activate the stream. Ca 90% succes rate. Quite happy with this result.
Doorbell still is more often than not a previous still so all in all useless for pop up notifications.
The streaming to Google Home screens should in theory be possible when using webrtc cast feature but i have not managed to get it to work.
Yeah, we are 
Trying to sell it without luck Also not sure what route to go if i ditch itā¦ google or reolink or unifi
Chiming in here, it is possible, but it cost me a lot of sweat and tears getting it to work. Caveat though is that Iāve remained on 7.7.4, because I wasnāt happy with the 8.0.x changes.
I have a combination of NodeRed and automation in the Dashboard, that
a) Switches on the camera and saves a pic if someone is detected, to automatically refresh the pic in the Dashboard
b) Switches on the camera if someone presses a classic bell-button (which has a Fibaro smart implant), to
- Send a fresh pic via notification and
- Bring up a live pic on the dashboard
c) In case of nobody having pressed the bell, you can click on the static pic on the dashboard, and activate the cam manually
Again, itās a classic situation of āworks in >95% of the cases, so donāt change itā, but there are several things that Iām unhappy with, such as the delay when getting a live video or a snapshot pic.
As this is a very custom-tailored setup Iām kind of hesitant to share it, but please do let me knowā¦
Can imagine its difficult to sell, the camera itself is good but even the built in motion detection is far from stable - a thread of spider web can trigger a motion event while sometimes my kids taking a bicycle from the shed is not picked up.
Are you looking at the Doorbell or also other cams? Battery cams reolink seem ok, there is some homebrew firmware available I think. Their Doorbell is not straightforward to integrate, specifically Doorbell press requires some tinkering.
I will never buy Google cams, experience with their behaviour around the nest thermostat is one I wonāt forget. Simply put, I donāt trust them with hardware meant to last a few years. [Nor will I further invest in eufyš¤£]
Also looked into unifi, apart from the price it seems to tick the boxes wrt local access, open protocols etc.
Well if i sell the doorbell, i need to sell the home station.
If i sell home station, i need to sell camera
So it will be package i think.
So then i need to look for both, doorbell and camera.
i didnt know doorbell wasnt good eitherā¦ from reolink. I will pass that then
What i truly want is instant ādoorbell notification + videoā on all google home devices with screen, but it seems only google doorbell has thatā¦ But im not keen either on that hardwareā¦
So its so hardā¦
Unimaginable its 2024 and not 1 doorbell that does it allā¦
IF you could give the yaml, why not
My info on reolink is 1 year old, when i explored the transition from euf. Perhaps worthwhile to see if they solved the Doorbell press issue.

This thread is so rich in information, it becomes almost too dificult to find back the last informationā¦ but I finally managed, thank you great community.
I have homeassistant running in docker (podman, actually), and got my Eufy doorbell streaming by spinning out
- bropat/eufy-security-ws:1.7.1
- aler9/rtsp-simple-server:latest and
- fuatakgunās WebRTC HACS integration.
As a cherry on the pie, I have the āstreamā page from go2rtc streaming via DashCast to my Google Home/Nest when someone rings the bell - or just appears on my doorstep. Really nice, thank you great community!
One final question: is it normal that the stream doesnāt contain any audio?
Thanks,
Erwin
I have from this week a eufy solo s40 cam in my backyard.
It is automaticly detected in home assistant but now i want to make som automations that turn of the motion detection or the camera in total.
Problem with this is that when i move the slider in home assitant to turn this of it automaticly turns back on without registering in the log. what can i do to this.
I have also a doorbell from eufy that works without any problems
Hi there. I apologize if I am in the wrong spot, but didnt know exactly where to start.
I have the latest version of Home Assistant running, and I have installed Eufy Security, Go2RTC and the WebRTC integrations.
I have used the documentation from github for adding cards and they work for the most partā¦
If I use this setup below, then the rtsp stream runs no matter what and it times out after a few minutes and you canāt get it to start again without going into the Eufy App and toggling on/off the RTSP feature for that camera. The error that pops up is āmse: streams: wrong response on DESCRIBEā
type: custom:webrtc-camera
url: rtsp://[email protected]/live2

icon: mdi:stop
service: camera.turn_off
service_data:
entity_id: camera.backyard
AND if I use this alternate configuration below, I get an error that says ācanāt get url for camera.xxā and I donāt know why, or where to find the url. I checked the entities of the camera as well and it does in fact show me the stream url and rtsp url. So I know they are there.
type: custom:webrtc-camera
entity: camera.backyard

service: camera.turn_on

- name: Stop

service: camera.turn_off
service_data:
entity_id: camera.backyard
Can someone people tell what I may be missing, need to add or what might be wrong?
Ultimately I would like to be able to open the dashboard and play the rtsp streams at the push of a button and stop them accordingly OR maybe it makes sense for them to start auto playing when the dashboard is being viewed only?
Any help would be appreciated.
What works for me is the following, and yes, probably some of it is not recommended anymore due to changes in HA, nevertheless: it works.

Hello,
how can i switch on/off the integrated alarm sirene of my Eufy camera?
Best regardas
Philipp
i donāt care about video or audio, i just want the camera button input and motion detection
should i just buy a other doorbell?
anyone got an idea why my eufy wont start the p2p stream when i click on it? I only have a eufy doorbell. everything else is pretty nice. Could attach it to my internal ring, power it over so i dont need to charge itā¦
if there is a similar device where the camera works from the doorbell in HA, i would consider to switch that. But it should also work with power and the internal bell
