Adding Aqara hub G3

[SynaZe]

trafficstars

I am relatively new to Home Assistant and have been learning and exploring its features every day. However, I have encountered a challenge that I am struggling to overcome, and I am reaching out to seek your valuable assistance.

I am attempting to set up my Aqara Hub G3 camera in Home Assistant using WebRTC, and I would greatly appreciate any guidance or support you can provide. Despite my efforts to grasp the intricacies of this process, I find myself facing difficulties.

I setup a integration for the camera through the HomeKit controller, I installed WebRTC camera and I'm now trying to make the camera avialable in my dashboard.

I have this config in the webui:

I see the camera under add -> Home Assistant

But if I want to see the stream of camera, the view remains black

The error I keep seeing is this one, but I don't know how to solve it or what it even means, I'm quite new to this.

No free streams is a "normal error". Most HomeKit cameras support only two simultaneous connections.

[SynaZe]

Thank you for the fast response Alexx. With two simultaneuous connections you mean for example I have the camera setup now in aqara and homekit in home assistant. So I can't add another connection. Or do you mean I can't have the stream open at more then 2 devices at once?

[AlexxIT]

It's two simultaneous video streams from camera. One go2rtc stream can make one request. Hass can't make this request (doesn't support streaming from HomeKit). If you setup HomeKit proxy via go2rtc - all iOS clients also can make this requests.

I gave up with aqara g3 the video always freezes. I ran the hack and removed the rtsp authentication, now with the link rtsp://192.168.1.52:8554/360p /720p /1080p /1296p the video is Perfect

or you can see user and pass from agetprop sys.camera_rtsp_url command from telnet: user=26 pass=83 (change every boot) `~ # agetprop sys.camera_rtsp_url

{"360p":"rtsp://26:[email protected]:8554/360p","720p":"rtsp://26:[email protected]:8554/720p","1080p":"rtsp://26:[email protected]:8554/1080p","1296p":"rtsp://26:[email protected]:8554/1296p"}`

Hi sdavides, can you explain how you removed rstp authentication? I have a new g3 and can’t activate telnet on it. Thanks

Thank you, sorry for the question i feel like a noob but I cant get the Token and de APPID in the aqara APP. Could you help please

[sdavides]

yes, but they are used for other things, not telnet or rtsp authentication. everything is written in the pdf guides

[ricargr]

Thanks sdavides, I got it working. One question, I am not able to apply hack on hub g3 that comes with 4.0.2 firmware. I installed 3.3.4 firm but cant scan any qr code. Is there any other way to activate telnet on it? Thanks

[sdavides]

no there are no other ways. Have you generated the QR code? The image does not have to be too large
