Hi all, I am trying to achieve the following scenario in Home Assistant - recreating functionality that exists in the Nanit baby monitor camera and app. I have two babies that sleep in different rooms. My setup:
- HA running in a VM on a Dell Mini PC running Linux
- Unifi UDM Pro, a Unifi G4 camera in each baby’s room above the crib
Specific functionality I am trying to accomplish:
- Notifications on mobile for motion and sound (already achieved using elements of the Smart Baby monitor using ffmpeg_noise sensor for sound and Unifi motion sensors for motion)
- Dual video stream on one screen on mobile (achieved in both HA and Protect)
- Notifications that provide link to said dashboard views (easy enough)
- Persistent audio stream from both cameras on mobile while mobile device is locked or app is in the background. THIS is the one I can’t figure out.
I’ve explored the various ways (icecast, rstptoweb, vlc) and can’t figure out if there is a way to keep the audio on in the background for both cameras. I don’t want clips of the recorded sound, I want the “always on” stream. I figured this would be an easier solution but I am stuck. Can someone point me in the right direction? Is this possible?
