Where do you record to?
I am not currently recording but I can set that up and get back. I wasnāt worrying about it since I have 32GB cards in each of the wyze cams and if push came to shove I could pull off of them.
I have a nuc with ha supervised, motioneye and a qnap samba share I record to. Works perfect. Have you considered it might not detect your motion and not record? You can test it by setting up continuous recording in the movies tab.
āVideoā = samba share name
ācamerasā = folder within samba share
Notice the lack of trailing slash in the share name. Maybe test that too?

Do you run the hone assistant installed motioneye or a separate motion install on the nuc?

No just the add-on by frenck. All on the same nuc.
Iāve got a problem with motionEye. It used to record both movies and pictures. Something happened after an update and it only takes pictures now. It doesnāt record movies any longer.
I have one of my cameras on continuous movie recording and the other one on motion triggered. Neither of which is recording any movies.
Any suggestions on where I should start to debug this?
My apologies if this has been asked (and answered) before but I cannot seem to find it.
I have some Wyze cameras with the RTSP firmware working just fine in the MotionEye integration on my HA install (RPi4 running the HA image).
Is it possible to pull these in as camera entities in HA to use on Lovelace dashboards? Iād like to be able to click a camera object on my Floorplan and see the live feed the clicked camera as well as use them to detect motion to participate in automations, like for install a Wyze detects someone pulling into my driveway and I have an alert happen.
Iāve seen examples, even had a basic version running, to use MotionEyeās webhook feature, but I am more after an actual camera entity in HA.
If itās not possible, then at least I know so I can stop wasting my time looking for the answer lolā¦ Iāve already spent so much time on this hurdle
Thanks in advanceā¦
Why do you need to involve motioneye? Just add the rtsp camera to home assistant in the usual way.
I assume that ME is the bridge between Wyze and HA since these cameras do have a way to provide still images.
So for instance I found something this on another post:
- platform: generic
name: Front of House
still_image_url: no idea what goes here for a Wyze
stream_source: rtsp://user:[email protected]/live
I thought that the āStill Imageā url from MotionEyeās setup could be plugged into there, but that doesnāt work. This is where I have it in my head that ME has to be involved. But if Iām wrong, thatās fine, hence my post asking for help/clarification
Right I see. Yāknow I thought HA had a wyze integration already. A quick look around reveals that may not be so. But there is this thread Configure Wyze cam RTSP on dashboard? and that is just the first search item 
This is what i use
camera:
- platform: generic
name: Back Garden
still_image_url: you need to get the still image ip address from motion eye
stream_source: rtsp://user:[email protected]/live
verify_ssl: (true or false)
if i remember there is a section that gives you the ip address for the image in motion eye, once you get the ip address, configure the camera in your configuration yaml file like above and restart, next go to lovelace then configure ui, choose a new card, select the picture entity card, and fill out like the pic below.

Hi, my apologies if this has been askedā¦ can someone help me with action buttons? I would like to know if it is possible to move a ptz cam with motioneye, from that point I should use webhooks but I just donāt know where to start! Thanks to those who can help me
Sorry if askedā¦
Trying to get working two android phones with motioneye. Live streams are fine but stored video files are āgreenā (there is a picture but it is green).

Ok first step taken, to implement the action_buttons just insert a code in the addon configuration page:
action_buttons:
- type: light_on
camera: 1
command: "curl -s 192.168.1.1/index.html?light=ON > /dev/null"
for the command: the ip must be that of the cam or HA? and the rest of the string, do I have to replace (e.g.) light=ON with UP? and /dev/null is only an example?
Sorry but, for these things, Iām really a noob
Hi,
First of all thanks for this awesome addon @frenck !
Is it possible to have the sidebar item available for users as well? Itās only available for admins if I tick the āshow in sidebarā option.
Iāve tried creating a panel_iframe in configuration.yaml but I ended up with nested UIs (Iām using Nabu Casa cloud to access my HA instance)
thanks,
Ben
That is the camera.
> /dev/null
That is redirecting the output to the big bitbucket in the sky. Leave it like that unless you want the output somewhere else.

nickrout, thanksā¦ but if i want to perform the up action, should i replace on with up and leave light?
This is not a home-assistant question I think. You will have to work out the commands for your owh camera.

FWIW I got green videos too. After changing to H.264 (not H.264/V4L2M2M) and switching to higher resolution it went to its normal b/w ācolorā. I suspect it probably had to do with changing the codec and not the resolution.
If you google for āV4L2M2M greenā youāll get a bunch of reports.
Hi, I wonder if someone could help? Iāve been trying for days to get the motioneye addon to save files to a usb drive connected to my tplink router but Iām either getting some settings wrong or itās just not possible!
On the router the settings are:
Router IP: 192.168.1.1
Network neighbourhood name: TPLINK_1TB_HDD
Device volume name: sdb1 (I have 2 devices plugged into the router)
Folder Iād like recordings saved to is /Home recordings/Front Door
Iāve also got authentication set up but thatās pretty self explanatory! Iāve tried settings in more ways than I can remember with slashes without slashes etc. etc. But it just says ācant mount driveā or something along those lines. Can anyone help me with what to put where or a guide please? Thanks
Edit: as a side note I can get it to āupload mediaā to this drive via FTP but Iād rather it saved it there directly so it can manage the files itself!
