Home Assistant Community Add-on: motionEye

realmadridsi · May 10, 2021, 7:19am

I’m also interested in this, haven’t been able to add mine either yet. Does anyone have a solution for this?

First you need this add-on: https://github.com/JurajNyiri/HomeAssistant-Tapo-Control

Later you create a card.

I’ve already done this but that’s a card on Lovelace. I want to add PTZ arrow inside MotionEye addon

pauldavidkelly · May 11, 2021, 10:48am

I managed to get this to work once I downloaded the config from the motioneye settings and had a look. The port number is normally 8765, but when it is installed in HA it is changed to 28765.

So to get connected I added the URL: http://127.0.0.1:28765 with my username and password.

Hope that helps

ciB · May 11, 2021, 12:43pm

You can set the port manually in the addon under the configuratio tab, which I tried before. But it works once you turn off SSL - this is a bug obviously.

larsenglund · May 14, 2021, 8:20pm

I can’t add cameras to motioneye, am I doing something wrong?
I click add camera and then I get this popup where I select “Network camera”:

I enter the camera url, user and pass but then I can’t click OK because the “Camera” field is required and it is a empty drop down list so I can’t select anything…
The “Camera” field has a tooltip of “the camera you wish to add” so it feels like that field is for selecting local cameras and should not be there for adding a network camera?

mwy6283 · May 14, 2021, 9:44pm

Hi all I must be one of the unlucky ones but i have been struggling to Motioneye to load my cameras for the last month or so. I all get is no Camera symbol and the following errors. the stream URL is correct as i can see it thru VCL and in Reolink integration in my dashboard. I am running 0.12.0 and i am up to date with Hassio Core and Supervisor. running HA thru VM on a iMac also tried Windows but no luck.I would really appreciate some help

motionEye Version	0.42.1
Motion Version	4.3.2
OS Version	Linux 5.4.109```

pinkfloydFR · May 21, 2021, 7:31am

How do you change config to motioneye ? ( i am using ha os ) ( cause my motioneye doesn’t write video if passthrought is unchecked, and i had read that i need to change codec to mp4 )

I tried this in the configuration panel in supervisor :

motion_webcontrol: true
ssl: true
certfile: fullchain.pem
keyfile: privkey.pem
action_buttons: []
movie_codec: mp4

but the “movie_codec” doesn’t seem to be active
thanks

AndrejDelany · May 23, 2021, 11:29am

Is there a way to start and stop a recording from home assistant? I would like to start a recording when a hue motion sensor detects motion, as this should be more reliable than the integrated analysis.

strumf666 · May 25, 2021, 1:38am

I am getting an error adding dahua cameras to motion eye - unsupported camera. Is there a specific way to add these? They are working via onvif integration.

JMVS · May 28, 2021, 9:17pm

Are you using a URL or an IP? I was struggling with something similar that was able to resolve by entering the IP instead of the URL.

JMVS · May 28, 2021, 9:21pm

I think you should use movie_codec: mp4 in “Extra Motion Options” under “Video Device” for every camera you want to use that paramenter

JMVS · May 28, 2021, 9:22pm

Try using the camera’s IP instead of the URL

pinkfloydFR · May 28, 2021, 9:59pm

Ho, didn’t see this option, thanks, will try this !

tman75 · June 3, 2021, 11:26pm

Would you mind putting the code that you needed to enter in your configuration.yaml? Thanks.

frenck · June 3, 2021, 11:42pm

Just upgrade to the latest Home Assistant & latest motionEye add-on, and they will detect each other. Home Assistant will discover the integration for you.

tman75 · June 3, 2021, 11:49pm

I have been running both for quite awhile, and it has never auto detected the camera. Is there a way to make it happen?

I did this

stream:
camera:
  - platform: mjpeg
    name: My Fancy Camera
    still_image_url: "http://URLFROMMOTIONEYE/picture/1/current/"
    mjpeg_url: "http://URLFROMMOTIONEYE:8081/mjpeg"

from here https://www.floriangaechter.com/blog/motioneye-in-home-assistant/. but I would rather have it create it itself.

frenck · June 3, 2021, 11:51pm

A motionEye integration was introduced in Home Assistant 2021.5.
The lastest Home Assistant 2021.6 is able to detect the add-on automatically (in combination with the latest add-on version).

tman75 · June 3, 2021, 11:54pm

oh, would you look at that!

Should I remove what I wrote in my config?

tman75 · June 3, 2021, 11:59pm

never mind, I just configured. Fantastic!
