I see. I thought those different routes being the same work - but they are not. So we have different routes for the same intent. Results might vary, obviously.

Could you share the link where you downloaded the FW 2026-04-06 ?
I have installed the most recent version of the FW that I could find on GitHub, and yet I cannot see the native home assistant integration under the services menu.

Hello, thank you for your work. I've followed all the step on my configuration. After playing the script i has this message : HA Discovery complete! All entities published for cam-chambre. But, when i check in HA, I don't find the new entities even after restarting.
Do I need to de something else in order to view in the new entities ?
Thank you by advance.

I tried two different memory cards, formatted them in the CAM PT2, the the Raspberry Pi Imager seems to work. However, afterwards the usb-drive is not found again on my Windows-system. When I install it in the cam, noting happens after the standard start.

Hi,
i just bought and installed this camera and I wanted to share my experience.
First it works like a charm:

  • 1st step with EWeLink Though I don’t want that thing. New firmware installed, motion detection… and creation of an account for onvid/rtsp
  • Then integration in my home assistant. Few seconds and it worked. I followed your great link to have everything working. https://help.sonoff.tech/docs/How-to-Integrate-SONOFF-CAMPT2-into-Home-Assistant#1._Introduction
  • But I discovered what I feared. The camera sends everything on servers out of your home even if you don’t use the iOS application. I didn’t want to use an alternative firmware so I just blocked the camera on my router (my internet provider router is a complete power user friendly one). Now, EWeLink refuses to work because it doesn’t see any camera (not plugged or no networks does it warn) but it works like a charm with my home assistant server and iOS application.
  • one small bad thing: to be sure being “alone” with my family, I plugged the camera in a sonoff plug so I can shut it down when at home. But each time camera reboots, the position of the camera changes (PTZ is the name I think) and I have to set it up manually with the application’s arrows. If you know how to script it , it would be great.

So, at last a camera I could buy and set like free without changing anything. I had a raspberry pi with small inexpensive camera and motion eye till now.

Thanks for this topic !
