Hey Home Assistant community,
we’ve been quietly following the thread Help with reverse engineering WebRTC with VicoHome Camera for a while now.
Like many of you, we hit a wall trying to get VicoHome cameras properly integrated. After some reverse engineering of their cloud API, we put together a small, unofficial custom integration for Home Assistant.
Current status:
Running stable on our own instance (HA 2026.3.4, Docker)- CG1 confirmed working
Other VicoHome models completely untested
Early stage — not on HACS default store yet
What it does:
Camera entity showing the latest event snapshot (cloud-polling)
Event sensors (count + last event details)
Optional Telegram notifications with photo + video
Adjustable polling interval, notification toggle, config flow setup
What it doesn’t do:
- No local stream / WebRTC / RTSP (VicoHome doesn’t expose this)
- No live view — strictly cloud-based via their API
We’re looking for a small handful of beta testers
If you have a VicoHome camera and don’t mind installing a custom component manually (or adding a temporary HACS custom repo), we’d love your feedback. Especially interested if someone has a model other than CG1 — we have no idea if the API behaves the same across devices.
Project repo: github.com/TomTje/vicohome-ha (still private during beta — reach out for access)
Not looking for a big public launch yet, just a quiet round of testing with a few interested users. If that’s you, drop a reply below or send a DM.
Thanks!
