Issue to integrate Live Stream with Ring MQTT addon

Configuration
1

Hi All,

I am a new user of Home Assistant and recently deployed the HA OS (incl.supervisor) on a TrueNAS server into a Virtual Machine.

I configured it into https, added mqqt mosquito and ring mqtt add-on successfully.
Everything works fine, all ring devices are discovered

Home Assistant Core 2022.6.6 (OS 8.2)
Ring-MQTT with Video Streaming 5.0.2
Mosquitto broker 6.1.2

Regarding my camera and my doorbell 3, I can see the camera snapshots but could not see any live stream (adding card with entity “camera_porte_d_entree_snapshot”)

I can see others entities related to the doorbell device such as ding, sensor info, switch livestream…
But do not have a camera “livestream” entity. The switch livestream show me historical data and button to switch livestream on for 10s

After checking Ring MQTT addon documentation, it seems this requires to integrate as well the camera and doorbell as “Generic Camera” band then tried to configure them via UI

I checked the URLs on camera and doorbell sensor info below:

I just had to remove the special characters and it works then for snapshots

  • Stream Source
    rtsp://user:password@03cabcc9-ring-mqtt:8554/343ea481b62d_live
    (user password are the ones I set into the Ring MQQT configuration)

But I encounter an “Unknown Error”

here are the logs from Ring MQTT (i noticed the time is incorrect into the logs, should be +2 hours)

I can see also the following error into HA logs
2022-06-22 12:06:06 ERROR (MainThread) [aiohttp.server] Error handling request
av.error.InvalidDataError: [Errno 1094995529] Invalid data found when processing input: ‘rtsp://03cabcc9-ring-mqtt:8554/343ea481b62d_live’

I tried also without authentication with the same result/error.

I noticed this into the Mosquito logs as well:
1655888084: New connection from 172.30.32.2:52030 on port 1883.
1655888084: Client closed its connection.

1655888564: New connection from 172.30.32.2:34608 on port 1883.
1655888564: Client closed its connection.

Note I keep the default config for MQTT URL into Ring MQTT Add-On (as it seems working fine)
mqtt://auto_username:auto_password@auto_hostname

I don’t have any clue how to fix it and as such I am blocked at this point for Live stream integration with mw ring doorbell 3 and my ring camera.

Thank you in advance for your support

Tess.

I was having the same issue and for some reason had to add the deprecated camera integration manually to my config.yaml and that solved the issue. It did throw an error upon restart saying the manual integration was deprecated and should be removed, but chose to ignore it and the integration still works.

camera:
  - platform: generic
    name: Doorbell Video
    still_image_url: !secret still_image_url
    stream_source: !secret stream_source
    verify_ssl: false
