Netatmo Welcome Camera

jabesq · April 18, 2016, 3:18pm

It seems now feasible as the API is open and similar to the one used for the weather station

jabesq · May 5, 2016, 5:11pm

I decided to work on it myself. I can’t give any ETA as it will be my first dev (Might takes weeks or months )

jabesq · May 10, 2016, 12:28pm

So I started my work here what I plan to do with the Welcome Camera:

Rework of the NetAtmo API to became a global component (done)
Camera device (of course) using MJPEG standard (almost done)
Binary Sensor device (to detect if someone know or unknown has been detected)
“Device tracker” (as the camera can say if someone is at home or not)

I’ll focus my work first of all on the API and the camera component, then the sensor to finish with the “device tracker”

I submitted the first pull request for the Welcome Camera (https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/pull/2233), it will provide access to the live of the camera.

Binary sensors (to detect movement, (un)known persons seen…) will come in a next pull request

I,m trying to add support for the Netatmo thermostat. It works, but i have a problem with updating the values, and i can’t change settings.
Can you integrate the thermostat in your netatmo component?

jabesq · June 6, 2016, 9:50am

As I don’t have a Netatmo Thermostat it will be difficult to me to help you on that, but my updated netatmo is designed to provide credentials to all netatmo device (Weather station, Camera and Thermostat). you can look at my changes here: https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/pull/2233

gieljnssns · June 6, 2016, 9:57am

I already found your changes, but it is the first time i’m trying something like this.
Maybe you can help me if I gave you my credits?

jabesq · June 6, 2016, 11:25am

No, never share your credentials with someone that you don’t know, but I think, you can add me as user in the Netatmo config panel (in your app, or on the website) then I will have access to your thermostat through my account but you can revoke my access at anytime (my mail [email protected])

The first feature for Netatmo Welcome (live feed) has been merged to home-assistant, for the other feature (binary sensors and tracker) I’ve to postpone a little bit the dev because I’m currently under water, so I can’t get some time to work on really interesting thing

jabesq · August 30, 2016, 11:43am

Hi all,

I’ve been quiet in the latest weeks as I moved to my new home and then I took some holidays, but I’m back to continue my work on the Netatmo Welcome camera, the next step will be to introduce binary sensor based on camera events (person known seen, person unkown seen, motion…) so we can use them as trigger for scripts.

doune · October 10, 2016, 9:07am

any update on that topic ? if I can help…

jabesq · October 10, 2016, 9:29am

The binary sensor is now fully developed and should be release with Home-Assistant 0.31. The support for the welcome tags will come later.

The next step will be to use the camera as a “device” tracker, but no idea for the ETA

@jabesq
Do you have any plans for the new Netatmo presence?

gieljnssns · November 23, 2016, 6:58pm

Is it possible to use webhooks https://dev.netatmo.com/dev/resources/technical/reference/cameras/addwebhook
To update events

jabesq · November 24, 2016, 12:07pm

Hi @gieljnssns, Apparently the Netatmo Presence uses almost the same API than the Welcome camera so it might work, but I don’t have one I can be sure.

It is possible to the webhooks (nothing is impossible ) but it would require a full rework of the netatmo components and also create a configuration panel in order to easily setup the webhook url.

gieljnssns · November 30, 2016, 9:42am

@jabesq
I think using webhooks is needed,
because when I make 4 more binary sensors for the presence (outdoor motion, human seen, animal seen, vehicle seen) and I implement them like you did, we are going to exceed the limit of api-calls.
But I really don’t know how to use a webhook in HA.
Maybe you know a way?

jabesq · November 30, 2016, 10:32am

A way to avoid the limit of API-Calls is to add throttling mechanism to updateEvent function inside netatmo-api-python (we can limit the calls to every 10sec). Currently do you have a specific error when reaching the limit of API calls
Regarding of webhook, I don’t know exactly how to use it in HA, but I saw that the Fitbit component (and maybe other component) are using it in order to retrieve information.

@jabesq
I have implemented an API-call counter in init.py:

def apiCall():
    global _API_CALL_COUNTER
    _API_CALL_COUNTER += 1
    print(_API_CALL_COUNTER)
    return _API_CALL_COUNTER

after every api-call in the netamo module:

resp = postRequest(_GETHOMEDATA_REQ, postParams)
apiCall()

I’m using the thermostat and my presence
after 40min
