how can i activate the debug log?
and where can i find the log?

i get a little progress now i have a camera entity and much more but the picture is still not there

anon63427907 · December 29, 2022, 9:54pm

you should start streaming first to see the image or video. check readme/camera services section

htpc2308 · December 29, 2022, 10:03pm

yeah correct, i use

service: camera.turn_on
data: {}
target:
  entity_id: camera.kinderzimmer

and than click on a card with this

- type: custom:webrtc-camera
          entity: camera.kinderzimmer
          ui: true

the error i get is “cant get URL for camera.kinderzimmer”

and sometimes "“rtsp client authorized”

Streaming either way is always going to be a resource hog although rtsp is desired for the obvious reason.

Having a option to idle the stream and turn it on is the best of both worlds.

Magnus33 · December 29, 2022, 11:20pm

Noticed the camera greyed out in the enabled section.

Is the eufy security adon running?

anon63427907 · December 29, 2022, 11:41pm

Release v5.2.5 · fuatakgun/eufy_security · GitHub is released.

more than 30 installations on 5.x.x versions, thanks

source: https://analytics.home-assistant.io/custom_integrations.json
In total, there are around 1800 installation of this integration and these numbers are gathered only from users who enabled analytics.

Magnus33 · December 30, 2022, 12:26am

Working without issue and the only thing i noticed that broken is the streaming status doesn’t change all the time when the stream is stopped.
As bugs go that’s as minor as it gets

The new features are going to need a little explain for some and you gone and made a much more robust upgrade over the old one

I would suspect the 30 installations number to start jumping really fast

Is there a way to get my doorbell to stream to a Nest Hub on press? I have one in my office so it would be great if it could act as a sort of intercom without having to get my phone out.

I’ve tried various different ways including the below but nothing happens.

For context, everything is working as expected for normal streaming if I set up a card, so I don’t think the actual integration is the issue, just my understanding of implementation for this particular set up. The doorbell is set to “Smart display first” as I thought this might be necessary as well

alias: Doorbell to Nest

  - platform: state
    entity_id:
      - binary_sensor.xxx_doorbell_ringing_sensor
    to: "True"
condition: []

  - service: eufy_security.start_rtsp_livestream

I also installed the RTSP Simple Server Add-on and when HA is started I first need to stream to get a camera thumbnail image every time I want to view the thumbnail it is slow to lead and now it always says streaming. Before it would show the thumbnail of the last image Eufy has, just like in the app and it would show that instantaneously before. Now that part is not working at all. I’m also wondering if this will now drain the battery as it needs to start streaming first before you see an image.

anon63427907 · December 30, 2022, 8:26am

Yes of course it will drain the battery if you keep streaming alive forever. Just turn it on for a couple of seconds and turn it off afterwards. Moreover eufy had encrypted thumbnails so as of now this is the only way, if you want to have thumbnails.

anon63427907 · December 30, 2022, 8:29am

1- be sure to use correct service. If your doorbell doesn’t support rtsp natively, you should call p2p service.
2- there should be a service called camera.play_stream to mirror the stream into cast devices

Sketch · December 30, 2022, 9:04am

@anon63427907 how do I enable analytics for you? I got a T8200 and noticed that the motion sensor is not working. The ringing sensor is working correctly. Is this expected behavior for this model?

grex23 · December 30, 2022, 9:53am

Thanks @anon63427907 using that camera.play_stream service has done the trick. I have added a 30 second delay then called the eufy_security.stop_p2p_livestream to get around the constant Stream Queue Size that @Jeroen_Schwankhuizen pointed out above and I was also having as I couldn’t find any other way to stop it. I was hoping it would stop itself after a few minutes but it doesn’t seem to be. Is there a better approach to this?

Soon, I will merge Alpha branch into Master, so it will become main version, so take your time and give it a try.

README is updated for alpha release

github.com

fuatakgun/eufy_security/blob/alpha/README.md

Welcome to Alpha release of Eufy Security Integration for Home Assistant. Congragulations on being a brave heart and trying this version.

# Gratitude
- @bropat for building docker image (https://github.com/bropat/eufy-security-ws) so I can wrap it as Home Assistant Add-on. You can also thank him over here: https://ko-fi.com/bropat
- @cdnninja for educating me on github actions and many other good practices
- Home assistant community (https://community.home-assistant.io/t/eufy-security-integration/318353)

# How is this working ?
- @bropat built `eufy-security-ws` using `eufy-security-client` to imitate mobile app and web portal functionalities and I had wrapped `eufy-security-ws` as `eufy_security_addon` so we can use it as Home Assistant Add-on.
- Add-on requires email address, password, country code, event duration in seconds and trusted device name.
- Every time add-on is started, it forces all other sessions to log off, so you must create a secondary account and share your home/devices with secondary account including admin rights and you must use secondary account credentials on add-on page. Please login once to eufy mobile app with this secondary account to be sure that devices are available.
- Country code is very crucial to connect to correct regional servers. If your main account has setup in US and if you are trying to login into your secondary account in DE country, your device data would not be found in EU servers. So please pay attention to put correct country code. (Source: Alpha 2 country code https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1#Officially_assigned_code_elements)
- Event duration in seconds correspond to how long (in seconds) entities in home assistant would stay in active. As an example, when camera notices a person, add-on would receive a push notification from eufy and home assistant integration will active person detected sensor and person detected sensor will stay on state for `event duration in seconds` long.
- Trusted device name is a required identifier for eufy systems to record this add-on as mobile client, so you can differentiate the connection from this add-on in multi factor authentication (two factor authentication) page.
- **As we already called out earlier, add-on heavily relies on push notifications, so you must enable all kind of push notifications (motion detected, person detected, lock events, alarm events etc) in your mobile app. These notifications are not user based but device based so after enabling all these notifications, your main account will probably bloated with many push notifications. In android, there is a setting to disable specific notifications, please use it. **

I deleted the integration and reinstalled it, solved it.

htpc2308 · December 30, 2022, 10:20pm

okay i get it to work i set the rtsp security to off in the app.

but now i have a question for the ptz control.

now i have buttons for each direction, the call unter services works well with this for example

service: eufy_security.ptz_down
data: 
  entity_id: camera.keller

is it possible to use this with the ptz overlay?

in the past i use this

ptz:
            opacity: 0.6
            service: eufy_security.send_message
            data_left:
              message: |-
                {
                "messageId": "cmd Pan And Tilt Down", 
                "command": "device.pan_and_tilt",
                "serialNumber": "T8410P3121431696",
                "direction": 1
                }
            data_right:
              message: |-
                {
                "messageId": "cmd Pan And Tilt Down", 
                "command": "device.pan_and_tilt",
                "serialNumber": "T8410P3121431696",
                "direction": 2
                }
            data_up:
              message: |-
                {
                "messageId": "cmd Pan And Tilt Down", 
                "command": "device.pan_and_tilt",
                "serialNumber": "T8410P3121431696",
                "direction": 3
                }
            data_down:
              message: |-
                {
                "messageId": "cmd Pan And Tilt Down", 
                "command": "device.pan_and_tilt",
                "serialNumber": "T8410P3121431696",
                "direction": 4
                }

is the old methode not working anymore?

anon63427907 · December 30, 2022, 10:28pm

Old method should work.

Where do you have this ptz overlay functionality?

You can get serial number on Debug sensor attributes.

Ok, just understood your question, i will publish a new service tomorrow to create one unified ptz service call eufy_security.ptz(up/down/right/left/360).
