WebRTC: Official or HACS?

[flequi19 (Martin M.)]

Now that WebRTC is an official integration in Home Assistant, is it advisable to uninstall WebRTC from HACS? From what I’ve seen, the HACS version still feels much faster, since it doesn’t do the re‑encoding — or am I wrong?

Hi,

What is the HACS version, the below?

Faster dashboard card experience?

Of course, I notice the camera card loads much faster than when using the official Home Assistant card directly. In the latest version, they announced that it was officially integrated.

HACS WebRTC: Faster local load and audio. Two way audio if you set the camera up as a media_player entity, I really like this feature.

HA WebRTC: Automatic remote camera access with a Nabu Casa Cloud subscription, I really like this feature too.

Remember each of these two players also make use of go2rtc. Of note is AllexIT is the author of go2rtc and the HACS card as well asassisting Home Assistant with the implementation.
