Sonoff GK-200MP2-B IP Camera

Installation Home Assistant OS

Hi there

As of yet I haven’t been able to expose the motion sensor to HA. It would be great it we could because then I’ d setup a script to record and forward myself the video via my Telegram Bot.

I haven’t used the ONVIF Integration. Please let me know if you’ve tried and if it worked.

The WebRTC card allows one way audio for now, I did mention it on @AlexxIT WebRTC forum. Realtime camera streaming without any delay - WebRTC, that it would be great to have two way audio.

If you go to the link above, @AlexxIT has all the details you need to set the card up.

My card looks as follows:

type: 'custom:webrtc-camera'
url: 'rtsp://rtsp:[email protected]:554/av_stream/ch0'
intersection: 0.75
ui: true
webrtc: true
ptz:
  opacity: 0.8
  service: sonoff.send_command
  data_left:
    device: "Your cameras 6 digit Unique Number"
    cmd: left
  data_right:
    device: "Your cameras 6 digit Unique Number"
    cmd: right
  data_up:
    device: "Your cameras 6 digit Unique Number"
    cmd: up
  data_down:
    device: "Your cameras 6 digit Unique Number"
    cmd: down

Hope this helps

Thanks, @MikeF9. I just ordered the camera on Ali and it will arrive first week of June. Been researching on how to expose the camera’s motion sensor to HA and found this:

Have you tried this? Looks like a possible solution with no risk of bricking the camera.

82

Same problem here, any luck directly connecting it to motioneye?

83

I did, yes. From memory it was something to do with the trailing slash - also it didn’t show up a preview straight away. So leave it a few minutes when you change something to check if it actually works.

Hi Mike,
my I bother you with a quick question?
I followed the setup that you described, using @alexxIT 's awesome integration as seen on github.
When I click on the control buttons in the card, I get Failed to call service sonoff/send_command. Service not found.
I assume I need to define the sonoff/send_command somewhere?
Thoughts ?
thanks,
chrisV

Hi Chris

Are you referring to the WebRTC integration or just using the picture element card?

I no longer use the picture element card and am using @AlexxIT ’s WebRTC HASS integration.

Hi @MikeF9
yes, I am using AlexxIT’s WebRTC HASS integration as well.
The reaction of the camera is a lot better.
The Picture Element Card has too long delays on my camera (close to 10 seconds)

So, the video part of the WebRTC HASS integration works, but I can’t get the controls to work (see screenshot below)

Do I need to install a separate service that you know of?
thank you

BTW, this is how my scripts.yaml looks like
(and it is “included” in configuration.yaml")

left:
  sequence:
    - service: sonoff.send_command
      data:
        device: 'my 6 digit device id'  # use quotes, this is important
        cmd: left

right:
  sequence:
    - service: sonoff.send_command
      data:
        device: 'my 6 digit device id'  # use quotes, this is important
        cmd: right

up:
  sequence:
    - service: sonoff.send_command
      data:
        device: 'my 6 digit device id'  # use quotes, this is important
        cmd: up

down:
  sequence:
    - service: sonoff.send_command
      data:
        device: 'my 6 digit device id'  # use quotes, this is important
        cmd: down

You have installed the Sonoff LAN integration from @AlexxIT hey?

The sonoff.send_command is a service that’s built into that integration on HACS

ah… I need to install that one as well?
No I haven’t… I thought that was for something else
thanks !
I will take a look at it
chrisV

91

yes, that was it !
It was not clear to me that you need to install 2 HACS repos from AlexxIT’s store. (webRTC Camera and Sonoff Lan)

Hi, but the PTZ controls of webrtc lovelace card are for sonorr LAN component, right? how to have controls with the cxamera running sonoff-hack firm? thanks (my only idea is accomodate that calls to the restAPI calls to the webportal of sonoff-hack like http://192.168.1.XX/cgi-bin/ptz.sh?dir=down

Hi - I found 2 different approaches to do pan/tilt with the sonoff camera that work with the sonoff-hack firmware:

Approach 1 - First Install the yi-camera-custom component @ https://github.com/robtesch/home-assistant-yi-camera-custom
Second- Use the yi-camera-custom ptz service call in your love lace card of choice.

service: yi_hack.ptz
service_data:
  entity_id: camera.yi_hack_s_b44dd9_cam #auto generated
  movement: left
  travel_time: 0.3

Approach 2- Enable the ONVIF integration in the sonoff-hack web UI.
Next add the ONVIF integration for your camera in the home assistant integrations UI.
Finally- replace the pan/tilt service call in your love lace card of choice with the ONVIF service call data model for your camera.

Onvif service call:

service: onvif.ptz
service_data:
  pan: LEFT # or tilt: UP
  distance: 0.31
  speed: 1  
  move_mode: RelativeMove
  entity_id: camera.backdoor_profile_0

Bonus: you can set the speed and other variables in both the yi-camera-custom as well as the ONVIF integration that I don’t believe is in the https://github.com/AlexxIT/SonoffLAN integration.

Here is my card for reference:

thanks @ninjasstudio , i managed to add PTZ Yi Hack service to the card :slight_smile: , thanks for sharing your info.

Here is mine, with the camera running sonoff-hack, and added to HA with yi-hack:

type: custom:webrtc-camera
url: rtsp://USER:[email protected]:554/av_stream/ch0
intersection: 0.75
ui: true
webrtc: true
ptz:
  service: yi_hack.ptz
  data_left:
    entity_id: camera.yi_hack_s_XXXXX_cam
    movement: left
    travel_time: 0.3
  data_right:
    entity_id: camera.yi_hack_s_XXXXX_cam
    movement: right
    travel_time: 0.3
  data_up:
    entity_id: camera.yi_hack_s_XXXXX_cam
    movement: up
    travel_time: 0.3
  data_down:
    entity_id: camera.yi_hack_s_XXXXX_cam
    movement: down
    travel_time: 0.3

Between using Yi Hack or ONVIF… any advantages or disaadvantages? Im using only YiHack and deactivated the ONVIF server on the camera with sonoff-hack (and deactivated cloud also). But im not sure what I’m missing :smiley:

Thanks

95

Yes I’m just coming to this and seems like the two options are YiHack/SonoffHack or the webRTC/SonoffLAN combo. Would appreciate any pros/cons from those who have tried both?

96

Hi Guys,
the image refresh is 4-5 seconds at me, how did you fixed this issue? The camera view is live.
Thanks a lot!

97

I’m using 4 of them with the SonoffHack with Frigate NVR for detection and recording and webRTC for the Lovelace interface. I also have the Frigate NVR debug MJPEG stream in Lovelace. The MJPEG stream has about a 2 second lag but low framerate. The webRTC stream latency is under 1 second for sure.

Not really… I did the same. I did findthat the YiHack pan/tilt API responded faster than the ONVIF pan tilt commands and since the ONVIF API is additional load for the SoC in the camera I also disabled ONVIF and Cloud, then used the YiHack addon for the pan/tilt commands. Using Frigate NVR for recording and WebRTC for viewing live in Lovelace.

I have the Sonoff GK-200MP2-B IP Camera in my cottage and the HA server in my house. How can I access the camera stream(add to the HA) from a different LAN?

Hi,

Starting as a noob in home asissistant. I try to get your addon but get an error. I type the following URLK in the ADD repository screen :

What do I do wrong ?
