Hey @anon63427907, is there a way to manually override which devices support rtsp? I recently was able to enable rtsp on my doorbell (via an APK file hack found at https://www.reddit.com/r/EufyCam/comments/nal27f/enabling_rtsp_on_battery_doorbell/) and wanted to see if there was a way to actually use it in HA.

Also, even with the rtsp hack, the battery doorbell doesnā€™t allow continuous recording, so I wasnā€™t sure if your add-on or @bropatā€™s client was responsible for ā€œwakingā€ the device to start the stream. I imagine itā€™d need to be same process as other battery devices (such as the 2c pro, etc.)

1- currently, there is no way to override it also highly doubt if it would play well with add-on.
2- why donā€™t you engage with @bropat to integrate this feature into eufy-security-ws?
3- i donā€™t have doorbell but starting a p2p stream should wake it up, right?

Sorry, Iā€™m not very familiar with the responsibilities of each application/codebase involved in this whole setup, so I wasnā€™t sure who controlled which type of connection to fetch (rtsp vs p2p). I can reach out to Bropat to see if itā€™s something theyā€™d be willing to look into (given itā€™s a very hacky way to even get rtsp support). Thanks for the quick response regardless!

By the way, even though my 2c cameras support rtsp, i prefer p2p streaming as it doesnā€™t have 3 minutes limitation and faster to initialize.

Weird, Iā€™ve had a much worse experience with p2p on my 2c camera (20-30 seconds initialization, artifacts, loading spinner appearing every second, etc.) It has been a long time since I originally set everything up, so perhaps Iā€™ve missed out on some new developments (currently using AlexxITā€™s WebRTC component with the RTSP Simple Server configured for 2 seconds video analysis).

Give it a try with p2p with low streaming quality settings and update back here

Heh, same exact results with it set to low video quality (at least 30 seconds to start, and a loading spinner every second, although the video does play pretty fine behind it)

Been ages since iā€™ve set it up too, will need to reread all stuff to be sure the best option p2p/rtsp is set up hereā€¦

Hi, Iā€™ve hit a brick wall.
Iā€™ve got the intergration installed and checking the log it connects to the homebase

2022-08-30 12:40:01.519 INFO Eufy Security server listening on host 0.0.0.0, port 3000

But i canā€™t seem to get any devices to show up. I have a 2k doorbell and a 2C camera. Iā€™m not sure what iā€™ve not done.
Has anyone done a youtube guide on setting this up?

Thanks.

i have the same setup i get connection to HA but want to put them in homekit! Did you installed the eufy_security under integrations also?

Did manage to get the doorbell in homekit now :slight_smile:
only thing whats not working is Notificationā€™s from doorbellā€¦
With my arlo doorbell a notification and live view is showing on apple tv when somebody presses the doorbellā€¦ with the eufy doorbell this is not working? Somebody managed to get this working?


you can see the difference in apple tv settingsā€¦

I donā€™t have a doorbell, but did you configured the ā€œlinked_doorbell_sensorā€ in HA under homekit - entity_config in the configuration.yaml?

no did nothing manual in the config! going search thanks for the hint

Merhaba Fuat bey,
Eklentiyi ve entegrasyonu kurdum. Ancak kontrol ettiğimde hareket sensƶrĆ¼nĆ¼n Ƨalışmadığını gƶrĆ¼yorum. Bunun bir ƧƶzĆ¼mĆ¼ var mıdır?

This are my entities of the eufy doorbell.
Doorbell is connected to homekit but the linked_doorbell_sensor is not working wich entitie should i use in the linked_doorbell_sensor.

Hi guys
I have the door bell thatā€™s works fine. Iā€™ve just got the indoor pan 2k camera. How do you add it?

Edit:
I didnā€™t noticed I had to restart the add-on too. all working now

Hi everyone :slight_smile:

Sorry guys, but Iā€™m too dumb to turn on the ā€œscheduleā€ mode (Guard Mode 2). How can I do that?
Where do I set the option ā€œalarm_guard_scheduleā€? In the Eufy app the schedule is set. Can someone please give me a hint?

Best,
Jens

a) you are not dumb! and b) you cannot. The integration is made with the idea that you create the schedule in HA yourself. Eufyā€™s ā€˜scheduleā€™ is in essense not really a mode, despite being presented like that in the interface. Itā€™s just a time-schedule to turn different modes on and off at specific times. You need to create it in HA yourself.
