Having a nightmare. Switched all my security devices to Eufy for monitoring zone feature and discovered they have next to no automation/integration (compared to my now retired Xiaomi 360 fleet). DYOR right?
I ran the bluenviron/mediamtx (other dependency) docker image and it seems to be running OK.
Installed the main repo in HACS, but I can’t set up the integration as it is making me configure the url of the server.
I don’t even want to stream video. I just want motion alerts to trigger a Google routine. It shouldn’t be this hard. Edit: OK it wants the URL/port of the mobile app simulator dependency.
On second read of the readme it says you can host your own docker hassio-eufy-security-ws and instructions are “at the bottom” but I can’t find it in either repo. Secondly… as I don’t need streaming video, adding 127.0.0.1 fails with “incorrect port” when configuring the integration.
Finished off the other half tonight. No Google Routine, No phone, No Tasker.
Home Assistant is the best. Has an Orbit BHyve sprinkler integration. All tested and working with human detection. Docker WS set to run on boot.
Eufy pet detection/activity zone pet detects my dog (not bushes blowing in the wind), and turns on the sprinkler when she goes to take a dump on my back patio. At least that’s the plan… Will share the video when I have it.
@anon63427907 - Thinking about my setup… should the WS container be running as a container inside my Home Assistant container (DinD)? I’m not really sure how the WS container can see my cameras currently. They are on an IoT VLAN, and Home Assistant Container, and WS container are on my main LAN. Presumably that means it’s using Eufy cloud?
Hi. How reliable has you connection to HA been? I’m contemplating a Eufy s350 and will need to trigger automations from it. Has it worked well?
I know everyone says Reolink for HA but I’m a huge Star Wars fan and it just looks too much like a little droid to not get it. I don’t need streaming (although would be nice), just notifications.
Good to hear. Thanks for the reply.
Are you also able to control modes via home assistant? Wondering if I can enable/disable privacy mode from my presence tracking.
There are quite a few actions exposed. Though, can’t see privacy mode specifically. I haven’t used any in automation actions yet but assume they work.
Here you go. Might start using this myself. There’s a limitation in Eufy native app meaning geofence doesn’t work with schedule which means you can’t have a night time semi armed state (because you are home with your phone). This looks like I can work around that now.
