I also have this issue with the same camera. Will be disconnecting them for now as the drain is too high.

Hello, I have the same problem with a C425.

Have the same issus with C425 (w Solar Panel) and D235 Doorbell.

Neither make it through 1 day when enabled in HA.

The integration isn't even using any camera feeds or snapshots of the cameras. The only entities:

  • Motion Detection On/Off
  • Person Detection On/Off
  • LED On/Off
  • Battery status
  • Camera On/Off (but not actual view or image of the camera)

Ive disabled both devices in HA and the battery drain has stopped

I had this same problem before, but since using this integration via HACS, I no longer encounter any problems.
