Camera not responding in Home App
Describe The Bug: Home app won't stream doorbell camera and just shows the camera is not responding. The logs in Homebridge show:
[12/1/2020, 12:38:01 PM] [eufy] Restoring existing accessory from cache: Doorbell [12/1/2020, 12:41:48 PM] [eufy] Starting video stream: 1280 x 720, 30 fps, 299 kbps [12/1/2020, 12:41:48 PM] [eufy] Failed to start stream: spawn ffmpeg ENOENT Doorbell [12/1/2020, 12:41:48 PM] [eufy] Stopped video stream.
When i click on the settings button of the camera within the Home app, it throws the following error and causes Homebridge to restart:

just checking: do you have a battery doorbell?
The battery doorbell doesn't stream continiously. It need the doorbell being triggered in order to start the stream. Perhaps someting to mention in the readme.
ah ok that makes sense then! Yes I have the battery doorbell but hardwired.
Would you be able to just expose the motion sensor of the doorbell? What I would like is when it detects motion, the porch light should turn on
It works with the Battery doorbell. You will get a white Eufy splash screen for a brief moment before the camera starts.
You seem to have a ffmpeg issue
ok so if someone presses the battery doorbell button, that's when I should see the video? sounds like I cannot continuously stream unless someone 'activates' the doorbell...do I have that right?
Also could you possibly expose just the motion sensor as Eufy has been able to do with their cameras? I have my Eufycams on HomeKit but only use them to detect activity and let the Eufy app handle all video so that enhancement for the doorbell would be great
Nope you can stream anytime

I don't have time these days, but I am happy to accept pull requests for those kind of features
Got this Error since the latest 0.1.3 @birkir @Stichoza After installing 0.1.3 Home App says unresponsive
FWIW: Installing ffmpeg onto the VM hosting homebridge fixed this for me - would be useful to add to the install guide that it's required.
DietPi vm for me - apt-get install ffmpeg
