Hi guys. Is there any news on this?

TheSentinel0101 avatar Jun 10 '22 08:06 TheSentinel0101

Hi everyone!

Just a quick update: I have a first draft of HKSV up and running but encountered a few obstacles.

It breaks down to the motion detection not working reliable for eufy devices.

The way it's supposed to work is: the eufy device detects a motion and the plugin starts recording. It then sends the video data to the HomeKit controller. It does so until the device tells it that the motion has ended. And here is the caveat.

Since we need the device to record, the eufy cloud things that we actually watch the stream and therefore it won't send us the 'motion stopped' signal. Since we do not get this signal, we never know when to actually end the recording.

It would be doable to just set a timer, but that wouldn't lead to the best user experience.

The best thing I could get up with for the moment would be to write a manual motion detection algorithm to determine when the motion has stopped. the packacke camera-ui does something similar.

Anyway since I can't test for rtsp streams, it would be nice if someone could get me the info, if this happens there also. e.g. watch the stream via plugin and rtsp (make sure it's really rtsp) and then deliberately walk in front of the camera. Is there a motion detected trigger? And if so, is it reset after you leave the view of the camera?

a snippet of the debug log while the stream is running would be nice!

I have to revise my last comment a bit:

technically the stop of motion detection is not all that necessary since HomeKit seems to only use the snippets that have motion in them. So the problem would only be that every time the camera records an event it will only stop after a timeout (for now that's 3 minutes) but HomeKit would only use the few seconds of the actual event that itself has analysed.

Maybe that's a way to get HKSV up and running, but there's definitely room for improvement.

Great that you've started with HKSV! I have a battery doorbell without rtsp and two battery camera's with rtsp. Let me know what kind of log you need so I can provide it.

Hey @adekka

Thx for the offer. Could you send me a dm on discord? It would be easier to discuss the details there...

thieren avatar Aug 04 '22 12:08 thieren

Not sure what happened, but Discord just threw me out. Perhaps telegram?

adekka avatar Aug 04 '22 16:08 adekka

Not sure what happened, but Discord just threw me out. Perhaps telegram?

Nevermind, I actually just bought an Indoor P24 which should be RTSP capable. It should arrive tommorow and I can test with this.

But thx again for the effort!

Ok guys. It's finally here. Try the latest 2.2.0-beta.1 with HomeKit Secure Video support!

A few things I've already noticed:

  • it does not seem to work if homebridge runs on windows. Unfortunately I was not able to find out why this is yet.
  • The recording is ended prematurely if RTSP-streaming is enabled
  • The recording will also end early if motion tracking is enabled on Pan&Tilt devices. I think this has something to do with Apples server not being able to analyse the image properly if the camera pans

Maybe you guys can test these three situations yourself and report back if you find the same.

I'm testing it now. I'm using two T8414 cameras and have some issues...

  1. I can't get them to detect motion.
  2. Because of 1 I can't record any video based on motion..

jhaleit avatar Aug 08 '22 04:08 jhaleit

Hi @jhaleit

Please elaborate on 1.

Do you mean your eufy device is not trigger the motion detected event, or is it triggered (and hence the recording is started) and you don't get a push notification from HomeKit?

thieren avatar Aug 08 '22 04:08 thieren

Hi @jhaleit

Please elaborate on 1.

Do you mean your eufy device is not trigger the motion detected event, or is it triggered (and hence the recording is started) and you don't get a push notification from HomeKit?

Motion detection doesn't work at all. No notifications, nothing happens when using it for automation, etc..

jhaleit avatar Aug 08 '22 04:08 jhaleit

I can chat with you on discord.

jhaleit avatar Aug 08 '22 04:08 jhaleit

I did some testing as well. I don't get the timeline which I do get with other HKSV camera's (see screenshot).

adekka avatar Aug 08 '22 08:08 adekka

Hey @adekka

Could you write to me on discord to discuss this in detail?

  1. Am I understanding you right, that you don't get the timeline at all, for the camera?
  2. Which camera are you using, with what config?
  3. Does the log state, that the recording process is starting (and subsequently cosing/finishing)?

I'll write up an extensive wiki article about HKSV, since there are a bunch of caveats with it at the moment. But I can say, that (for me at least) it's working quite well at the moment.

thieren avatar Aug 08 '22 09:08 thieren

  1. yes, correct
  2. T8210 (battery camera doorbell)
  3. see a snippet of the log: ...

I'll get in touch via discord when I've sorted out my issue with Discord.

adekka avatar Aug 08 '22 16:08 adekka

@adekka oh, yes you had issues with discord right.

Your log output is really bad formatted and hard to read this way. Also it doesn't seem as if you have debug messages enabled. But even so, I don't see any mention of a record process starting.

Do you get motion trigger events through HomeKit? This is necessary for HKSV to work properly. See here for more details.

thieren avatar Aug 08 '22 17:08 thieren

Hi guys,

Awesome work on this, thanks. Is it correct that it won't record based on a doorbell press, though? I only have motion on at night and when I'm out of the house, so I don't know if that's correct that a press won't trigger a recording.

I am 98% sure that doorbell presses will trigger the recording. ^^

thieren avatar Aug 09 '22 09:08 thieren

Hmmm, thanks. In that case there might be something wrong because it's definitely not doing that.

DaveM8686 avatar Aug 09 '22 13:08 DaveM8686

Can you enable debug messages and send me a log of such situation?

Maybe write me on discord.

  1. yes, correct

  2. T8210 (battery camera doorbell)

  3. see a snippet of the log:

...

I'll get in touch via discord when I've sorted out my issue with Discord.

At first I didn't see a timeline either. I didn't have notifications for motion active and I didn't have an activity zone setup either. Once I added both of these I still didn't get a time line when opening the feed from the Home app. It wasn't until I received a motion notification and clicked on it to open the notifications that I got the timeline. I now see the timeline when I open the live stream.

Hi, I don't actually have Discord sorry. I've dropped it here though. This is everything from the second I pushed the doorbell for three minutes after.

  1. yes, correct
  2. T8210 (battery camera doorbell)
  3. see a snippet of the log:

... I'll get in touch via discord when I've sorted out my issue with Discord.

At first I didn't see a timeline either. I didn't have notifications for motion active and I didn't have an activity zone setup either. Once I added both of these I still didn't get a time line when opening the feed from the Home app. It wasn't until I received a motion notification and clicked on it to open the notifications that I got the timeline. I now see the timeline when I open the live stream.

Hey @andyrooo82

The activity zone is actually not necessary. This just determines which zones in the image is analysed by the apple servers. If you disable it, the whole image will be processed.

@DaveM8686

So the recording process is starting correctly for you at least.

But a few observations:

  1. it states that your video from the doorbell is just 640x480. That's the raw video format from your device and I didn't know it could go this low. Is there a setting in your eufy app, where you can increase this maybe? I'll have to test if 'video quality' would influence this.

Since HKS is very picky about it's stream configuration that it receives, it could be that.

  1. The recording process is ended (without error) before the encoding process even could start. I don't see why this is - has maybe something to do with 1. but am not sure yet.

  2. What hardware are you running on? If it doesn't have the needed computing power for HKSV, I am afraid it will be hard to get working for you. Had a few users now that have problems running this with a RPi.

@thieren, thanks for the replies.

  1. I've got it set to Low Quality in the Eufy app based on the setting in the plugin that says doing so will help speed up live stream and notification connections, but I've now changed that to High to see if it makes a difference.
  2. Not sure about this one, but I guess we'll see.
  3. I'm running it on a Synology NAS through Docker. Do you think that could be the problem?

Could well be. You can try the 'copy' preset in advanced video config. Some users have reported good results with this.
