Hi Everyone,
I’ve just set up my first Home Assistant install and I’d like to integrate my Eufy Security… mostly to change states etc
There are over 2000 posts between this and Eufy Camera Integration - Feature Requests - Home Assistant Community (home-assistant.io) and I’m honestly a little lost trying to parse as to which is the simplest way to get this going?
Anyone able to give a TL;DR of how to install this? (the thread summarise option dropped it to 100posts but still none the wiser after parsing them!)
Thank you!
Just take the first post and the links to integration and documentation from there.
The first post links to another “better” solution which also seems to be “working” from reading that thread, which is what’s confusing - not sure which I should be looking at (given that both initial posts are now very old)!!
Updated the first post, just follow the links to install bunch of stuff and rest assured, it is far from perfect

Thank you!
So guessing by the fact that the update removes the other one I should ignore that for now and stick with this!
I’m just moving over to HA from Homey and interestingly this seems to be the one app that is significantly more advanced over there!
Feel free to contribute to make this better, but first give it a try

As eufy camera automatically turn off streaming in 3mins after streaming sensor on. Is it possible to create an automation script to force the camera off in 3mins then immediately turn on in a loop of 5 times, so the camera can stream up to 15mins in one service call?
You can set up your own automation to start streaming triggering on state changes of related camera
Can please help me with the configuration code? I don’t know where to start since I’m a newer to HA.
Just start with the documentation linked in the first post.
Yes, I did. I also had an automation to stop my eufy doorbell livestream in 5mins, but I’m not familiar with loop script in HA to call service my eufy 2k pro off and then on repeatly for 5 times in one-click button in order to stream the camera a bit longer. Any input would be appreciated.
P2P Users
I have just released a new version of integration (v2.2.8) to use TCP based streaming rather than pipe (process) based one. In my local tests, it is much more reliable. Please get latest version of integration and test it. Plus, you can stream multiple p2p cameras at the same time now 
(I am curious if anyone would be interested)
I had streamed more than 30 minutes using p2p and restarted the p2p stream more than 10 times consecutively, all was good.
In the meantime, I am working on a customer webrtc card to eliminate conditional card usage. The new card would show camera image while Idle and would show streaming interface while Streaming
Looking forward to community’s feedback on this

you do not need loop, just set an automation based on camera state (Idle vs Streaming)
Hey, you need to enable all the notifications as integration fully relies on them. Any updates on current state?
For my battery doorbel I used to check if select.voordeur_video_streaming_quality was set to “Low / Low Encoding” to see if streaming would work from HA. Is that entity no longer supported, and if so is there another way to see if the P2P streaming will work? Or is that limitation no longer present?
Hello, I’ve read a lot, but I cannot find the answer.
I am using several Eufy Cam 2C with the Eufy Homebase. Today I started using the RTSP stream. It works fine inside HA. Thanks a lot.
But is it possible to activate a record, so that it will be saved on the Homebase? My wish is that I have an archive of all recorded streams in the Eufy App. And I want to trigger the recording with other events (Zigbee/Zwave/Homematic Motion Sensors, Vibration Sensors and other).
Thank you very much for your help.
Something is broken here, can you create an issue to track this?
There is no functionality as of today, but you have to ask @bropat if this is doable, create a request on eufy-security-ws repository, i am tracking everything there.
I have found the following issue https://github.com/bropat/eufy-security-client/issues/118 and I will try the workaround.
Thank you.

i am unable to get the integration to work, i am using docker for home assistant, so i have followed the instructions for the docker install, the eufy-security-ws seems to be working ok: it is listening on port 3000 on ip 0.0.0.0, but it is finding no devices… i have set up a new email and shared my doorbell with the new account and changed the credentials, but still no devices found… i am now unable to get any further, so any help here would be very much appreciated. Thanks
