doorbell no live stream

[denveronly]

hey all, have a eufy wired doorbell

camera stream is not working, only have the last picture of event is that okay?

Try using the camera.turn_on service call and you should see live video.

I tried to go to Developer >> Services and fire a service camera.turn_on to a doorbell entity.

then go to UI and i see... nothing, a ? in the box

return to developer tools and fire camera.turn_off

then go to UI and i see the last screenshot again

thats how it goes for me

[pluddle]

You are using Eufy doorbel, you sure? not just a camera?

[xekil]

Thats fantastic, im using lovelace in YAML mode, you are using it in ordinary mode. i have it in lovelace yaml

 - type: picture-entity
            name: Doorbell
            camera_image: camera.doorbell2
            camera_view: live
            entity: camera.doorbell2

dont know what to write there to add that more-info string

[xekil]

you are using the wrong card use picture-glance

my card code:

aspect_ratio: 55%
camera_image: camera.eufy
entities: []
image: 'https://demo.home-assistant.io/stub_config/kitchen.png'
tap_action:
  action: more-info
type: picture-glance
hold_action:
  action: none
entity: camera.eufy

Ok so ive made two cards in ui-lovelace yaml

- type: picture-entity
            name: Doorbell
            camera_image: camera.doorbell2
            camera_view: live
            tap_action:
             action: more-info
            entity: camera.doorbell2
        

  - type: picture-glance
            title: doorbell
            entities: []
            camera_image: camera.doorbell2
            image: 'https://demo.home-assistant.io/stub_config/kitchen.png'
            tap_action: 
             action: more-info
            hold_action:
             action: none
            entity: camera.doorbell2

And both of them work the same if i click it is enlarged photo of the doorbel latest recorded visitor, no live video.

Maybe it is because i have a wired doorbell and you have battery powered, but thats strange, they suppose to be the same

I thought it would help me to solve my issue (with a simple camera) but it doesn't :(((

[dpeligro]

So anyone know how to make this work? :( Or how you can use this integration with HA?

[es3nric]

I have the same problem. RTSP works using VLC

[highlandtran]

anyone have an update on this?

[jeffreysmc]

I have same issue with Camera's can get it to work if I call service to turn camera on, but is very flaky.

I have the same problem. RTSP works using VLC

@es3nric where are you getting the rtsp stream from? For the doorbell?
