Can't See Camera.

[JDogg016]

Is there a step on the Nest Developer side I am missing to be able to see the camera device in HomeKit?

I can see a motion sensor for the nest cam, but nothing else?

I must be doing something incorrect? I even amended the nest-cam-accessory.js file and can see the camera as BOTH a switch and as a motion sensor, but I cannot see the actual camera.

Using IOS 11

The plugin does not provide a video feed for Nest Cam, only motion detection. the README provides all this info.

I see that now as the developer site combined with the readme file made it a bit confusing as to whether streaming was supported.

Is there a plan to integrate streaming into this homebridge plugin as IOS 10 and 11 clearly support camera streaming?

RTPS Support only possible via ffmpeg plugin via Homebridge

Any docs out there that would show how this can be done? I’d like to take a stab at it.

Platform: homebridge-ffmpeg Source: https:// (your camera stream) Problem: home kit camera view only accepts Rps or rpts format.. and nest cams are https. Thats from my research. As a developer, you can allow read and write v3/v4 etc but format still for nest cam output and not for HomeKit.

Someone got this working with an ffmpeg plug-in but requires sharing the camera stream put locally (still only accessible if they know the url):

Seems like this could be integrated into this plugin.

I tried using plugin but it’s not working anymore. Nest may have put some blocks or changed access from their end.
